The MetPet Walking Jacket^TM is the best cat harness available.  Unlike conventional cat harnesses, the Walking Jacket is both physically safe and psychologically reassuring. 

Lennie the black cat is wearing a red soft-sided WalkingJacket^TM. Peter the orange and white cat is wearing a blue hard-sided WalkingJacket^TM.

A harness with thin straps that dig into your cat's body can cause him to fear walking on leash.  The MetPet WalkingJacket^TM has wide 5/8" straps, curved plastic buckles and smooth fabric that curls gently around your cat.  The patented MetPet.com Walking Jacket comes in both the classic soft sided version and the hard sided version.

Soft-Sided and Hard-Sided Walking Jackets for Cats

Walking Jacket^TM Soft-Sided $16.99
In standard and large sizes.

Walking Jacket^TM Hard-Sided $18.99
In standard size.

The HardSided Walking Jacket has a perforated plastic insert that fits around the body.  The plastic is flexible enough to curl around and under your cat and stay perfectly comfortable.  The HardSided Walking Jacket is about as stiff as the Elizabethan collars used to prevent cats from licking wounds and the jacket will be about twice the weight.  Think of wearing a tall belt or rigid cummerbund around your midsection to get an idea of the HardSided Walking Jacket.

Every cat should have and know how to use a Walking Jacket^TM.  Cats are notoriously slippery and difficult to hold on to when they are frightened or excited.  The Walking Jacket^TM gives you extra holding power and safety for you and your cat.
