Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the proper use and care of your rabbitgoo Cat Harness and Leash. Please read this guide thoroughly before first use to ensure the safety and comfort of your cat.
Setup and Fitting
Proper fitting is crucial for your cat's comfort and to prevent escape. The harness is designed for small to average cats, fitting neck sizes 8.5"-11" and chest sizes 13.5"-16". An essential head circumference of at least 8" is recommended for an escape-proof fit. Always measure your cat carefully before selecting a size.
Measuring Your Cat
Use a soft tape measure to determine your cat's neck and chest girth. The neck girth should be measured at the base of the neck, and the chest girth around the broadest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
| Brand Size | Chest Girth (in) | Neck Girth (in) |
|---|---|---|
| XX-Small | 11.2 - 13 | 6.5 - 8.8 |
| XS | 13.5 - 16 | 8.5 - 11 |
| S | 18 - 20 | 11 - 13.7 |
| M | 21 - 25 | 15 - 19 |
Putting on the Harness
- Prepare the Harness: Ensure all four adjustable straps are loosened slightly for easier initial fitting.
- Slip Over Head: Gently guide the harness over your cat's head. The D-ring for the leash attachment should be on your cat's back.
- Adjust Straps: Adjust the four straps (two around the neck, two around the chest) to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. You should be able to fit one to two fingers between the harness and your cat's body.
- Secure Buckles: Fasten the two quick-snap buckles on the side. Ensure they click securely into place.
- Final Check: Double-check all adjustments. The harness should not be too tight to restrict movement or breathing, nor too loose to allow your cat to slip out.
Operating Instructions
Attaching the Leash
Once the harness is securely fitted, attach the included 4.9ft leash to the reinforced D-ring located on the back of the harness. The leash features a 360° swivel clip to prevent tangling during walks.
Walking Your Cat
Begin with short, supervised sessions indoors to allow your cat to become accustomed to wearing the harness and leash. Gradually increase the duration and introduce outdoor environments. Always maintain a gentle, consistent leash tension and avoid sudden pulls. The vest design distributes pressure away from the throat, minimizing choking risks.
Safety Features
- No-Choke Design: The vest style harness distributes pressure evenly across the chest and shoulders, preventing strain on the neck.
- Reflective Strips: Integrated reflective strips enhance visibility in low-light conditions, improving safety during evening or early morning walks.
- Dual Buckles: Two quick-release buckles provide a secure closure while allowing for easy removal.
Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
The rabbitgoo Cat Harness and Leash should be Hand Washed Only. Use mild soap and cold water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this may damage the material and reflective elements.
Storage
Store the harness and leash in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps to preserve the material and extend product lifespan.
Troubleshooting
- Cat slips out of harness: This is typically due to an improper fit. Re-measure your cat and adjust all four straps to ensure a snug fit. You should only be able to fit one to two fingers between the harness and your cat's body. Ensure the head circumference is at least 8 inches for the XS size to prevent slipping over the head.
- Cat resists wearing the harness: Introduce the harness gradually. Allow your cat to sniff and explore it. Place it near their sleeping area. Start with short periods of wear indoors, rewarding positive behavior with treats. Never force the harness on your cat.
- Harness appears uncomfortable: Check for any pinching or rubbing points. Ensure the material is not twisted. Re-adjust the straps for a looser fit if necessary, while still maintaining security. The harness is made with ultra-soft air-mesh for comfort.
- Product damage: The harness is not chew-proof. Inspect the harness regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use if the product is compromised to ensure your cat's safety.
