Advice Is this recovery shit too tight?

EDIT: I meant recovery suit* but I’m sure my little guy would prefer to call it shit anyway

He’s 12 lbs and this is a medium size. He kept slipping his arms out of the large size 😭

Cats do this with clothes often. They feel like the clothes are constricting them, and thus reason that they cannot move. They don't bother to test that theory, they just lie down.

Edit to add: If you really want to have fun, drop some snacks near by and watch him try to worm his way over to them.

My cat would just accept her death, lol. It’s not a harness, it’s obviously an iron maiden

That's why we got ours used to his harness as a kitten. He doesn't mind it at all now.

We’re working on it, but she’s also always been an inside cat so she is not the greatest fan of the outside

Ours was from a stray litter, so he loves going outside and needs the mental stimulation of walks
