FAQs & Guides

Putting your cat's Supakit cat harness on couldn't be simpler! There are no straps to put over your cat's head, and no loud and scary velcro to contend with. Instead, there's just a single buckle to fasten, and a super simple step-in design.

Here's a video showing you our two most popular methods for putting the Supakit harness on: the 'Drop + Pop' and the 'Superman'.

Introducing a new harness? You need this!

We understand the importance of introducing a new harness to your cat correctly, and we're passionate about getting your harness training journey off to the best start! Join our free 10 Day Harness Training Bootcamp, and take your cat from harness newbie to confident harness wearer in 10 days!

As part of the development process for the Supakit cat harness we recruited a team of cat testers worldwide that we called our ‘Harness Houdinis’ - cats who had escaped from multiple harnesses in the past! With their help we’ve been able to make a harness that tackles all of the main kitty escape methods, including backing out.

There are a few things to get right to ensure that these escape-proofing features can work well for your cat:

The correct size: The Supakit harness comes in three sizes, based on your cat's measurements. Take a look at our simple size & measuring guide.
The perfect fit: The Supakit harness is designed to fit nice and close to your cat's body so that they can forget it's even there. Find out more about the perfect fit here.
Good leash position: Leash position is everything when out exploring with your cat! Here's how to always make sure your cat's leash stays in the safe zone.
Not tethering: For your cat's safety and for the escape-proofing features to work well, it's really important not to tether your cat to a fixed point. Exploring with your cat is a joyful activity to embark on together, and the Supakit harness is designed for use with a handheld leash only.
Training: Harness training is a fundamental skill which will aid your cat in feeling comfortable and remaining secure within their harness. For complete harness training, visit the Supakit Academy, or try our free 10 Day Harness Training Bootcamp.

The Supakit cat harness was designed from the ground up with the unique needs of cats in mind.

When we first began, we - like many of our community - had noticed that most cat harnesses were modified versions of dog or puppy harnesses. Some had been made smaller, some had minor design adjustments. But they didn't cater to a cat's unique needs, body plan and style of movement.

So we worked with our community to study what cats really need in a harness. We collected all of the niggles - big and small - with the harnesses they were already using. And then we started to build the Supakit harness' unique design.

Here are some of the key design features built in to the Supakit harness:

1. Cradles your cat securely, but never holds them back

When we were thinking about how a harness should hold a cat, we found inspiration in an unusual place! In zoos and veterinary establishments, large four-legged animals are moved in sling hoists that cradle them around their body but don't put any pressure on their neck or limbs. That gave us the idea for our harness' body plan.

The Supakit harness cradles your cat around their upper body, spreading any forces over a large area so that they never experience tugging or pulling in any one place. It doesn't put any pressure on their neck, so is perfect for asthmatic kitties in particular. And it leaves their legs completely free for zoomies and mischief!

Because the Supakit harness holds your cat at the core of their body, with straps that sit behind their elbows, it is resistant to the most ingenious of kitty escapes! You can read more about the escape-proofing of the Supakit harness here.

2. Appeals to your cat's super senses so they instinctively fall in love

We know how important a cat's sense of smell, hearing and touch are when it comes to accepting new things. That's why we only use natural materials like super soft cork and leather to make our harnesses. Their natural smell is instinctively appealing to a cat, they don't make any scary rustling noises, and they feel sublime to wear!

3. A perfect fit for every cat

If you've ever stroked your cat the wrong way you'll know how intolerant they are of having anything brush against their fur! We designed the Supakit harness to move with your cat, sitting like a second skin so that they can forget that their harness is even there. To achieve this, the Supakit harness is fully adjustable on all four of its straps, and comes in three body sizes, so that you can achieve the ultimate fit - whatever shape or size your cat may be!

4. Super simple to put on (without somebody else to help!)

First impressions count. A happy harness adventure should start happily too - it shouldn't begin with a stressful struggle to get your cat into their harness.

We designed the Supakit harness to have just a single buckle to fasten, so that you can simply drop your cat's paws through the straps, and then fasten it up in a single move. The process is fuss-free and so fast your cat won't even notice what's been going on!

5. Double attachment for extra security

The Supakit harness comes with a double D-ring attachment point - which is not only doubly safe, but like a climbing system allows you to cross your cat over from one type of leash to another without ever being completely untethered. It's perfect for times when they're clipped into their backpack, and you want to transfer them to a long leash, but don't want to risk them jumping out and running away.

6. Designed to last a lifetime

Our harnesses are handmade in Europe by some of the finest craftsmen and women in the world. They are designed to outlive all other harnesses, and their natural materials will age and soften beautifully with time. All of our materials are ethically and sustainably sourced, supporting small local communities of artisan producers.

Just as our harness are unique, we know that every cat and their training journey is unique too! We have developed a free 10 Day Harness Training Bootcamp, that will help you take your cat from harness newbie to confident harness wearer in 10 days.

Please note: the Supakit cat harness is designed for use with a leash, under human supervision. It should not be used for unsupervised tethering.

LOVE it, our adventure around australia would not be the same without this brilliant harness!!

I have tried three harnesses before this Supakit one, and it’s the only one Nina hasn’t managed to get out of! We love our daily walks now.

Sarah M.

She wore this harness on a 10hr road trip & it made her feel so secure that she didn’t even yowl like she usually does!

Bought two, one for each of my cats. I am so happy with this purchase. They fit well, followed the fitting guide, are difficult for my cats to escape, are well made and look great. I've shared this find with my family, and recommend this cat harness to anyone looking for a well made and handsome option.

Alix C.

I can’t believe how easy it is to get this harness on our cat! She’s fought us with every other one but doesn’t even realize we’re putting this one on her because it’s so quick and easy (and nothing goes over her head!). She walked around a little funny the first two times she wore it but by the third and fourth time, she was hopping around and playing in the grass. It’s time for a longer leash!

Terry T.

Prince is a fan! We have every color and style made. Highly recommended for escape proof and comfort.

Nancy T.

Fits snugly and almost keeps Marigold from escaping. Almost. Love that it is vegan.

Keena H.

My cat and I love this harness. It’s comfortable, and he can’t escape! His leash walks are much smoother than on previous harnesses.

Bianca H.

Shogun loves his Supakit, he use to sulk around in other harnesses & it took us ages to put them on him, so we were surprised when we put the Supakit on, he didn’t sulk at all & was still so active, we’ve been on a few little adventures already. SUPER happy with it. We got the vegan cork, it looks and feels great too!

Kimber A.

Wish I would have bought this sooner! We put the harness on our cat, James, and he was immediately comfortable in it - even fell right asleep shortly after we put it on him for the first trial run. We were able to take him out on a pontoon boat ride day 2, and he was loving lake like as you can see in the picture! I'd been searching for a long time for something that was made specifically for cats and high quality - look no further. James fully endorses this one!

Dear Supakit - My name is Katsana. That means "kitten" in Setswana and I am named that because I was born in Botswana. Now I live in Montana, USA with my family. They bought me a Supakit harness so I can go on adventures. I hated the others they tried, but not yours! It lets me run and jump and move like a cat - and I'm told looks very nice on me! This weekend I graduated from the harness to the leash and went on my first adventures outside since I was a tiny kitten! I even climbed a tree, which felt amazing! Thank you for making such a great harness and letting me be a cat! Katsana (and family)

This is my second Gatsby harness. I also have a leather one. I love them both. I’ve tried different styles, and Loki would either fight me to get it on, or they just wouldn’t fit quite right and he seemed awkward. This is perfect, I can put it on him easily, no fighting! And he seems to be quite comfortable and can move around with ease. I love this harness. And I get compliments on it everywhere we go. Thank you!

Virginie D.

The gatsby harness is great! Nice snug fit with quality and comfortable materials.

Cynthia v.

My cat seems way more comfortable in this than he did in his previous harnesses. It's also easy to put on, and the colour looks nice with the colours of his coat. But the best part is that he doesn't escape his harness nearly as often as he did before.

Crissy L.

We love this cork harness! It’s the first step-in type that we have been able to use with our Bengal, Ruby. Getting her to step in is still a 2 person job, for now. It’s light but solid, and doesn’t choke her like the over the head harness we were using before. I followed the directions to measure, but was a bit concerned because Ruby does not often stop moving unless she is laying down. The medium fits great for her at just over a year old and over 8 pounds. I adjusted it to make it smaller, and there is plenty of room for it to grow with her. We also have the black leash which is great, and the black leather harness, which we haven’t tried, because we like the cork so much. The retractable leash is on the way. Can’t wait to try it too.

Kelly T.

Love this harness! I'm finally confident that we've found a harness that our cat Moon Moon can't wriggle out of! Super easy to put on (no need to pull something over her head!) and the 4-way adjustable straps allow us to get a great fit for her small frame!

Emma E.

A wonderful harness that fits my cat perfectly! He loves it, and so do I.

Luann B.

Meet Loki. He's a 12 yr old Maine Coon. I wasn't sure a medium harness would fit him, as he was right at the large end of the scale, but it fits with a bit to spare. This is a picture from our first outing. He's not leash trained, and when I tried (in the past) with other harnesses, he managed to back out. But not this time! The Supakit Gatsby is great, and yes...they are inescapable! Sorry the harness doesn't show much under all his gorgeous fur.♡ Cheers, Luann

Jen S.

I got the large cork harness. Both myself and my boy Riker love it!! Jen

Annie O.

Looks good, feels good and keeps our Mr Cinnamon secure

Julie K.

Struggle getting used to it..and walks commando style.. now he knows when get harness out its walkies!!

Pauline J.

My cat loves the harness, and especially that it doesn’t have to be put over her head. It’s also very soft and I love that it’s vegan.

J. F.

Finally, at long last, I found a great halter for TeddyBoy! I had bought two previous ones from other vendors, that took me forever to put on TeddyBoy, fit poorly, and were just plain awful. I just threw them out. Also thanks to Nala, of #bike1world, the pretty tabby, who pointed me to your website. Kudos to you all for making such an awesome halter....

Josh E.

Great quality, great fit and looks pretty darn good if I may say so! Our cat is loving the outdoor time with her new harness and leash combo.

Bonnie I.

This is “Sammy” our 4 yr old kitten. We got him the natural, vegan Cork “Gatsby” harness that he wears all the time. Sam loves it & he doesn’t even know it’s on! We are planning to become full time RVers here in the USA once I retire in early 2020. We also have two other boys that we are getting ready to harness train so they can all hike with us in the mountains or wherever we go. Thank you for putting out such Great products!! Esp the Gatsby we cant wait!
