Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have a very badly behaved cat that has to be isolated from the others in the household. After seeing this product on Jackson Galaxy's show, I decided to give it a try since the cat, Bob, needed some serious exercise to get over cabin fever. The first couple of times that he put it on, he was not too thrilled. When it was removed, the sound of the velcro "ripping" totally freaked him out so I had a few sessions where I just sat in his room and ripped the velcro over and over. He got used to it. Once that cat figured out that if he put on his "jacket," he could go outside for a walk, his entire demeanor changed. He now meows excitedly when I get the Kitty Holster out, stands still while I put it on and hook up the retractable leash, and then walks right out that room like he has been wearing one of these things for his entire life! At first, he didn't understand the rules about walking but all I had to do was just take up the slack and not give in to his pulling. He figured it out. Now he knows that if the leash stops giving, he can't go that way and he gladly walks on. I sometimes have to sort of drag him back to the house because he doesn't want to go in but the Kitty Holster lets me pull him along without hurting him. He is getting better and better at it each day. And, of course, having treats ready when we go back to his room doesn't hurt. UPDATE: September 19, 2016. I'm still walking the cat with the Kitty Holster three years later. He is the hit of the neighborhood and has made a lot of friends. He really looks forward to his "walks" in the evening which usually consist of just laying in the yard and watching all of his dog friends when they come over on their walks. I am careful to not walk him in yards that use chemicals. That is just not good for the kitty. If he does walk down the street, he has to have his feet washed off when I bring him in. I've only had one incident with escape and that was a few months ago when I was in too big of a hurry to put the harness on and didn't fasten the front part securely. The funny thing is that, although Bob "escaped," he is so trained to being limited in where he can go that he just went about 50 feet away and then came back when called. Bob and I have certainly got our money's worth out of the Kitty Holster.
