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 have an average sized 10 lb cat, and I got her a size small. She fits just fine for a quick drive, but the small size might be a little too small for any long drives.

I returned the small and purchased a medium. My cat weighs 8 lbs and i could not get the small to go around his belly.

my 3 cats are just under 10 pounds each. In the large, thy have room to move and turn around. The small would probably work, but for long periods it may be a bit restrictive.

I think I would go with the small. I have 2 dogs, one has a small, the other a medium. The measurement is at the base of the neck, NOT the one up by the ears. The larger of my two [got the M] has 15 1/2 in neck at the lower point, and there is a LONG amount of collar-tail left over once it was fitted to him. The M is heavier / wider 'stuff' as well. My smaller one is a strong-willed loud-screaming male, and he was well-controlled with this. As a side note, I still swap back with an older gentle leader [head type] for ease/speed of use much of the time.

Medium. My cat is in the upper end of the size range for the small. I ordered her a small and it barely fastens closed. She has one that is bigger and it's much easier to put on. No sacrifice in snugness, either, thanks to the adjustability of the velcro closures.

I'm pretty sure I have the medium size for a 12" cat, so I would think maybe a large might be better. It's been awhile so I forget the sizes. But, I can tell you it is made well, much better than I have seen in pet stores for the money.

I'd go for the large. I have a Himalayan cat and at 7 pounds the large gives her plenty of room to stand up and turn around but I wouldn't go any smaller. She loves it.

Our experience was that the ThunderShirts (1 year ago) was seriously undersized. I would order at LEAST a Medium. Our cat is a small adult cat and the medium ThunderShirt barely fit around her! Good Luck.

In general, go off the weight of the cat. That is how they are sized. It should tell the recommended weight when you select each size. My 13Lb kitty has big paws so we get large for him but medium for the smaller 10lb kitty, she's generally more petite.

Not sure but, my for my 10 lb cat, i got the large size and i wouldnt want it any smaller. I think the small one would be too small. My cat prpbably wouldnt fit in the small one..

I think go with the medium if she will be in there for more than 30 min. I got the small for my galah but he only stays there while I transport him to and from the car. The small is like for sun conures, Quakers, Indian ring necks, caique and other small parrots.

I purchased the medium one for my dog. I have seen the small one and i think it should be okay for a cat.

The medium size MIGHT fit a 5 pound dog. My somewhat larger (I thing it was around 7 pounds at the time) only fit up to her front legs. I cannot imagine fitting any dog in a small. maybe a small cat.

I would recommend Large - as the overall neck girth is 10".the Medium is only 8" and it will be too small for your cat.

I would probably go for a large. The medium just fits our large cat but I'm thinking of upsizing her to a large as it's very tight.

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