My kitten currently weighs about 5.5 lbs & is growing fast. My question is whether I should purchase the small or medium size?

yes medium. But it sort of depends on breed and gender. my male is 16 pounds and 3, he fits into a large and a medium smothers him. my tabby girl is so tiny, shes about 6-8 pounds? and shes a medium. so...

I would go for the medium for the long term ; my cat weight is about 9lbs. and i use the large. The harness has sliding adjustments and if your cat is still growing a medium for sure. I am happy with mine, get her used to it as soon as possible and enjoy the outdoors.

My kitten is a 7 month old Bengal and noe weighs 8 lbs. I got her a medium. If your kitten is still growing, a medium is probably what you are going to need.

Dusty,I started out with the small size when my kitten was three or four months old. She did grow, and I ended up purchasing the medium only because I wanted to make sure that the harness fit properly.Good luck. I love walking our now ten month old kitten.

I would suggest the medium, it is adjustable. In the reviews I read it runs small. Carol

My cat weighs 10 lbs. and needed a large set at the smallest setting. On the box, it says that the small size will accommodate 9-11 inches in girth, and medium will accommodate 10.5-14 inches in girth. If I were you, I'd measure your cat and go from there. Good luck!

We bought the small size at first and it fit.but was snug ...spooky did weigh a little more though....medium was fine for her. She loves it by way and just to let you know they can wiggle out if they wantt....she only did it once

buy the small if your kitten is small. Don't ever leave your cat unattended with this. She might hang herself. Be sure to get your cat chipped -- actually some vet clinics can get you hooked up with low income chipping if you are low on cash..... My actual cat uses the medium but as her head is small she can sort of try to wriggle out of it. So I end up not really using it at all.....

I would go with the medium. We have a 6 lb. shorky and it is just right for him. He can lay down and even have toys in his bed. you will not be sorry with this purchase.Love this purchase.

Our cat is approximately 15" from top of head to base of tail and thin and the small is still a smidge big on her, so I'd definitely suggest the small. Best of luck to you and your kitty!

I agree with both other answers. Get small only if it is a kitten. I got small because my cat is a petite adult and they were too small. Medium for a regular sized cat and Large for a big cat.

On the Soft Claws website they have a size chart. Kitten fits those less than 6 months old, small 6-8 ibs, medium 9-13 ibs, large 14 ibs up.

I would buy the size that is right for your cat's weight ... if he is 13lbs or more, consider the Large ... if he is really big (like 20lbs+), consider a Dog size Small ...

I think the smallest one available would be okay for a cat. I have a Corgi and he weighs about 33/34 lbs and has more than enough room with the 36". I probably would have gotten away with the 24" actually.

It depends on the size of your cat. Weigh yourself then pick up your cat and subtract your weight from the total number. You will get your cats weight. then look at the package of the soft paws medium is 9-13 pounds and large is beyond that. My cat is 18 or 19 pounds so i get the large ones. He has been wearing them for 4 years. No problem. I hope that helps.

My kitty is one year and 10 pounds. I got the extra large and it's just a bit big... I would think the sm/med would be fine for your cat. They'll grow into it, too. The velcro is extremely strong... not always easy to get off. Fortunately, my baby is patient and just sits there while I work to get it off. I think if you wash it, it will help that part. I haven't washed it yet, though! Good luck!

I am not sure. I would go for the larger one. I am assuming 8 lb dogs are pretty small. I put two kittens in a large one. And one full grown cat in a large one. That seems comfortable for them. Sorry I can not answer that better for you.

Small, in my opinion. Large is definitely too large for an average cat, and medium may be a little too large.

I think medium because my cat is approx. 6-7lbs and I used a size small for her.

I'd recommend medium. Think small are for kittens, but not 100% about that.

I would go with a large. I have a cat about that size, and the medium was too small.

I have a 42lb Dalmatian. I got the extra small for her and it has room to spare. If I remember correctly she was right on the line too. I would put my money on the medium.

Unless you have an itty-bitty kitty (7lbs and under), you will do fine with the medium/large. My cat Bhodi is about 12 to 14lbs, and the medium/large works great. There is lots of adjustable room with the velcro straps at the neck and the belly, so you should be fine. Be prepared for your cat not loving the harness at first (Bhodi just flopped over and would only walk backwards at first!) Good luck!

I'd get the larger one. You can use the edges, or half of the 'brush'. Kittens grow so fast, don't bother with the smaller one.
