Harness is great! Cat getting used to it pretty quickly. Doesn't seem to mind it much. Looks comfy.
Highly recommended anyone looking to get this bag to buy it now.
We have had a few cat bags and this one is the most comfiest and practical for both the humans nd the cats. Lots of pockets to hold your personal items and treats.
Harness is amazing, and we look forward to our first adventure! Collar section is quite wide so I feel like if they’re looking for comfort while sleeping they can’t really put their head down - maybe my boy just has a small neck.
Customer service was excellent!
He outgrew his last one (10.6kg)….so I decided to get him the Santa one! Doesn’t he look smart?
It’s large, but not quite as big as I expected, which is actually perfect. It fits my 7 kg cat comfortably with plenty of room for him to move around. Both of my cats have even fallen asleep in it while it’s sitting on the floor at home, which says a lot about how comfortable and cosy it is.
It has some great features, particularly the option to use either the mesh windows or the blackout covers depending on what your cat prefers. It’s also surprisingly comfortable to wear, even with a larger cat inside. Overall, a really well-designed and comfortable carrier.
All I wanted was to take my kitten outside in our courtyard without the fear of him running down to the street (he’s tried!). But other strappy harnesses were an epic fail. The Catventure harness is perfect for safe ventures outside. My cat looks comfortable and relaxed and I love the colour!
Got a second harness recently. They are great. Have tried several others and this brand is the best by far. Excellent customer service too if you have any problems.
The harness is amazing! The colours are bright and it arrived quickly. It’s high quality and comfortable for my cat. The cat on the other hand…. It’s her first harness so she’s not super stoked by it.
This is our 2nd type of harness we’ve tried. I ordered slightly bigger so when furr baby grows (she’s still under 1 year) it’s still going to be fine and if we need additional vest underneath, it’ll work. Honestly, easy to put on! That’s the magic. It just doesn’t feel secure enough? It looks secure, but when we’re on the walk outside it doesn’t feel as secure as our alternative harness so I’ll reserve the judgment for now and share thoughts from the last 6 weeks.
I’ve tried a couple of different backpacks and bags. This seems to be the best. Just to be clear, it took a bit longer for training and we’re still no where near done but … think this is the best. I love the multiple entry/ exit points. I leave the backpack in the room so it’s part of the play and another safe place to hide. There’s space for little madame to lounge and still not be suffocated or squeezed. We had an awesome couple of hours at the beach and honestly, it was great. Mostly, in the backpack with a view of the sea with occasional peak outside to return to safety. Super comfy to wear as well. I recommend it to anyone who’s interested or asks about cat-exploration journeying options.
This photo is the first time Malou has worn the harness and she took to it really well, we went for a cute little wander around the neighbourhood and never once did I think she would be able to get out of it
Having had dogs all my life I felt bad about having a cat and just leaving her home whenever we adventure. This harness has been perfect for taking her along. It took maybe two weeks for her to get used to wearing the harness, but I have lots of wrens in my yard so she had plenty of distraction. Now when I show her the harness she starts purring 😍 the only issue I have is that I used the size guide and I think her harness is too small, so take care with that aspect.
Marshmallow loves his new harness and actually asks for it. It’s sturdy, yet comfortable and no chance of him slipping it off.
Absolutely love this cat harness! 🐱💕
The quality is wonderful, it’s genuinely escape-proof, and it’s so easy to put on. Plus, the gorgeous colour options make it hard to choose just one! 😍
Most importantly, she is calm, happy and comfortable wearing it. I am looking forward to lots more adventures together! 🐾🌿
Just received the backpack yesterday. The dimensions and features are great. It is a comfortable backpack to wear. But the material quality? Not so great. I was hoping the materials used would feel substantial, like a Jansport canvas backpack or a Bellroy. But the canvas/plastic used for the bag’s shell feels cheap and thin. Same for the mesh. The zipper tracks don’t feel strong. The locking mechanisms also feel cheap and I wonder how long they will last. I’m bummed because it’s a great concept but the execution falls short. Expensive for the quality. I hope it turns out to be more sturdy than it feels. At this point, I can see it breaking down sooner rather than later.
Thanks for the feedback. We completely understand that our backpack feels different to a traditional canvas backpack like a Bellroy or JanSport, that’s intentional.
The Catventure Backpack was engineered specifically for cats, so our priority was achieving strength and structure without creating a heavy, hot carrier. At just 1.7kg, it uses technical lightweight materials including a custom water-resistant cationic outer, heavy-duty claw-resistant PVC air mesh, an internal reinforced frame and YKK zips. The structure has been tested to support cats up to 14kg without sagging.
We also deliberately prioritised 360° ventilation rather than thick canvas or large plastic panels, which can add considerable weight and restrict airflow. The backpack includes a structured level base, three visibility/privacy modes, multiple entry points, zipper locks, two internal safety tethers, a dual-sided comfort mat and a seatbelt loop.
We appreciate that lightweight technical fabrics can feel different to the heavier materials used in premium human backpacks, but every material choice was made around feline comfort, airflow, safety and keeping the carrier manageable for the person wearing it.
We hope once you’ve had the opportunity to use it with your cat, the thought that has gone into the design becomes much more apparent. 🐱
The backpack itself is a good concept and quite practical, but unfortunately, I’m disappointed with the overall quality after only two weeks of use.
The Smart Lock provided with the backpack broke after just one week of use, so I had to replace it with my own lock. The zippers also sometimes get stuck and aren’t always smooth to open.
Another issue is with the covers over the mesh openings where you can put your hands inside the backpack. They don’t line up properly with the openings, so even when they’re closed, part of the mesh remains exposed.
I’m also disappointed with the quality of the cushion inside. It feels like a basic piece of foam/polystyrene rather than something durable and well finished.
Overall, I really like the concept and design of the backpack, but after only two weeks of normal use, it already looks quite worn and one of the included accessories has already broken. For the price, I expected much better durability and attention to detail.
Hi Vanessa, we were genuinely excited to send our very first order all the way to Andorra, so we’re especially disheartened to hear that the backpack arrived faulty and didn’t meet your expectations.
It sounds like the lock may be faulty, and we’d be happy to replace it. We’d also appreciate some photos showing the misalignment of the mesh covers so our team can understand and investigate the issue.
The backpack uses YKK zippers, which should operate smoothly, although cat fur or debris can sometimes affect the zipper track. We’d be happy to help determine whether there is a fault.
Please email your order details and photos to our support email so we can investigate.
Wow.. just wow.. not only does my cat adore his harness and has learned to happily walk on over when it's opened and he hears the Velcro rip open but he seems genuinely calmed when wearing it, looking forward to many adventures with him, can't wait!
Very easy to put on my kitten with the Velcro straps and it is escape proof
The harness is a complete success. Our Ragdoll kitten is totally accepting of wearing his harness. We have been going for walks around the garden and each day he has become more confident. The design is easy to put on, is secure, well made, and looks cute as well. I highly recommend this harness.
I have 3 cats and 3 cat venture harness sizes they all love going outside. Took a few months for them to get used to everything but now they’re used to it and ask to be let out for a wander. If your cat has a big belly you may need to size up a medium just fits mine and the large is roomy but I have it fully cinched. My little man in the pic is wearing medium he’s still filling out so fits him perfectly
