The problem

Why most cat harnesses fail

Cats have narrow shoulders and flexible spines. When a cat pulls backward, standard harness designs can loosen near the neck and chest, creating gaps that make it easy to slip out.

If your cat has backed out, twisted free, or escaped in seconds, it is usually not your training. It is how the harness handles backward pressure.

How to walk an escape artist cat safely

Many cats escape harnesses because of how they move when pressure is applied. Learn why standard harnesses fail, how escapes happen, and how to reduce backing out during walks.

The solution

A harness built for cats that escape

Pawhold is designed to reduce the most common escape behavior in cats: backing out when pressure is applied.

  • Secure strap placement behind the shoulders Helps prevent backing out by keeping the fit positioned correctly.
  • Adjustable, escape resistant fit Multiple adjustment points for a snug fit without restricting breathing.
  • Even pressure distribution Comfortable on the body and designed to avoid throat pressure.

Professional insight

Recommended by veterinary professionals

“Most harness escapes happen because pressure shifts toward the neck when a cat pulls backward. A design that stays positioned behind the shoulders significantly reduces that risk.”
