The principal designer contacted me after I contacted him by email (not the website). He offered his apology for my issue with the harness. He said the harness had been modified and the neck clip had been upgraded to resist 100lbs of force at the beginning of this year, and he was surprised that the old version was still being sold. He sent me a new one & my 14lb all muscle male Bengal has tested it thoroughly in his efforts to catch chipmunks in our yard. He is quite strong & an amazing gymnast. I like the Houdini harness more than any of the others he’s tried mainly because it offers much more freedom of movement. I do not allow him to backout of it by always keeping the leash behind him, because most cats can escape from most harnesses using that move including all the other escape proof or resistant harnesses we tested (3). The Houdini is lighter weight than the others I tried, and that, and its unique design (it tightens with extra forward strain) are what makes it more comfortable while still being secure. 7/24/24 review follows: This is very hard to do because at first, I loved this harness. It fit well and in early training my Bengal cat Loki tested it well with incredible acrobatics to try and get it off. When I finally left our house with complete confidence that he was secure. We had very pleasant walks until something spooked him and he leaped and twisted in front of me several times and I finally got him calmed down. He was still in the harness but when I bent down to examine him, I found the loop around his neck was very loose and I soon realized that the clasp at the top that keeps the band around his neck that attaches to the leash had snapped. He was seconds away from dashing into the woods. I got him safely into the house and wrote a note to the seller at his "outdoor Bengal" website asking for help, because they don't offer support via desertcart but I did not hear back. So bottom line I can’t recommend this harness because it can come apart releasing your possibly frightened cat into a potentially dangerous situation. Hopefully this review will result an upgrade in this critical component. Review: Fantastic Harness! My Kitty Loves It! - I absolutely love this harness. It is very comfortable for my kitty. He adjusted quickly with training and loves romping outside daily. This harness allows for maximum mobility so my kitty can jump, run, leap, lie down, and walk with ease and comfort. It is very easy to put on and extremely secure as long as you’re keeping your harness leash in the “harness safety zone”. That is true for ALL harnesses. The leash safety zone is anywhere from above the cats head to behind the cats head, with slack on the leash ideally. Walking a cat is not like walking a dog. It is for enriching your cat. If you want your cat to be highly mobile while using the harness, it is best to pair it with a form of mobility. Either training your cat to go on the shoulder. Use a backpack carrier. Or Stroller for pets. My cat loves all of these! That will keep your cat moving forward when you want, but also the harness will give you safety and protection for your kitty and allow your kitty to romp and explore along the way. THERE ARE NO ESCAPE PROOF HARNESSES. So you must use proper harness safety technique when walking your kitty. If your harness goes in front of your cats head with a tight leash they CAN pull themselves out of any harness potentially. So you must prevent that position as much as possible. Also, never force your cat. Sometimes my kitty loves going outside (almost every day!) But there are days where he prefers to stay indoors. That’s OK too. I highly recommend watching. Albert & Mia’s YouTube channel @outdoorbengle for additional training instruction, tips & great advice! All of their products are high-quality and amazing. I especially love the Feastfuls kitty chicken treats for daily clicker training. Very healthy and low calorie. I also have the Albert & Mia clicker training kit with cards. And the travel litter box. All excellent quality and highly recommended This harness comes with a 6 foot leash. But we very quickly graduated to a 15 foot and 30 foot leash. I prefer my leash to be brightly colored. You can see in the video how quickly my kitty learned to love the harness. I used gogurt-style treat tubes for training during the first couple weeks. Now I only use the healthy chicken when putting on the harness to keep him still. Which he loves also.! I have a 1 1/2 year old adult Devon Rex male who is 7 1/2 pounds. I purchased the medium. He wears it on the smallest setting. Enjoy! ## Features - ESCAPE-PROOF DESIGN: Designed with an escape-proof mechanism. The passing ring on the neck provides increased restraint when your cat is pulling forward, preventing escapes and keeping your furry friend safe. - COMFORTABLE and CUSTOMIZABLE FIT: Our adjustable harness gives your cat a snug fit without choking, thanks to the padded chest area and adjustable straps. To ensure the best fit, measure your cat's girth and refer to our size chart. - EASY to USE: Our harness is super easy to put on and take off. Simply secure the neck using the cord stopper, adjust the straps around the harness, and adjust the girth with the buckles. - COMFORT MEETS SAFETY: The chest mesh is designed to protect your cat's chest while still allowing them to move freely. Plus, the lightweight and breathable material ensures your cat stays cool and comfortable. - TRUSTED by ADVENTURE CATS: Our harness has been tested in all terrains by Mia, the Adventure Bengal Cat (@outdoorbengal) on Instagram. Join the many happy customers who trust our harness for their furry friends. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BM6H8ZSS | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,177 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #4 in Cat Harnesses | | Brand | OutdoorBengal | | Brand Name | OutdoorBengal | | Breed Recommendation | Medium Breeds | | Closure Type | Buckle | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,904 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Included Components | Cat Harness, Cat Harness Training Guide, Leash | | Item Weight | 0.08 kg | | Manufacturer | OutdoorBengal | | Manufacturer Part Number | Medium Cat | | Material | Mesh | | Material Type | Mesh | | Model Number | Medium Cat | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pattern | Solid | | Pet Type | Cat | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Size | M/L | | Target Species | Cat | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 30 days | ## Product Details - **Brand:** OutdoorBengal - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Mesh - **Pattern:** Solid - **Size:** M/L ## Images ![OutdoorBengal Houdini™ Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash (Black, M/L) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GROUCKPnL.jpg) ![OutdoorBengal Houdini™ Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash (Black, M/L) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YCMS7M9zL.jpg) ![OutdoorBengal Houdini™ Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash (Black, M/L) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619VidmhlYL.jpg) ![OutdoorBengal Houdini™ Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash (Black, M/L) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811U9aDatjL.jpg) ![OutdoorBengal Houdini™ Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash (Black, M/L) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RPtPc26-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This harness has been upgraded! *by K***T on July 24, 2024* Hello, I have changed my review seen below( published 7/24/24) from 1-star to 5-star because it is upgraded & the new version is definitely much improved.

Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Cat Harness I’ve Found — Secure, Comfortable, and Practically Invisible *by M***E on August 9, 2026* I was desperately searching for a cat harness that would actually keep my cat secure without being bulky, uncomfortable, or ridiculously easy for her to escape from. I’ve tried other harnesses that looked more like tiny vests and somehow still allowed my cat to wiggle her way right out of them. This one was completely different. The biggest thing I love is how discreet and lightweight it is. It doesn’t have all the extra bulk that so many cat harnesses have, and once it was on my cat, you could barely tell she was wearing anything. In fact, she wore it during our wedding, and you couldn’t even see the harness in our wedding pictures. That was honestly a huge selling point for me because I wanted her to be safely secured without having a bulky harness distracting from her appearance. Even better, my cat seemed extremely comfortable wearing it. She acted as if nothing was on her and wasn’t constantly trying to get it off or fighting against it. That’s a big deal with cats because they can be incredibly dramatic about wearing anything unfamiliar. Most importantly, it feels much more secure than the other harnesses I’ve tried. I was specifically looking for something that would prevent my cat from simply backing out or wiggling free, and this one gave me much more confidence that she was properly secured. Overall, I’m extremely impressed with this harness. It’s lightweight, discreet, comfortable, and much more secure than the bulky harnesses I’ve previously tried. If you have a cat who is an escape artist and you’ve struggled to find a harness they can’t easily wiggle out of, I would absolutely recommend giving this one a try. ## Frequently Bought Together - Houdini™ Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash Set by OutdoorBengal for Walking Cats and Kittens (Soft Mesh, Medium Cat) - Apple AirTag - Extra Long Cat Leash for Yard, 9M/30FT Lightweight Outdoor Cat Leash Long Light Extension, Long Thin Lead for Rabbits, Kitten, Puppy and Small Animals --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/493247911-outdoorbengal-houdini-escape-proof-cat-harness-and-leash-black-m](https://www.desertcart.us/products/493247911-outdoorbengal-houdini-escape-proof-cat-harness-and-leash-black-m) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
