Edwina has two portaprisons -- (one must always coordinate accessories) but also a wonderful harness that I found on a Bengal cat website. It is designed for such things as taking cats to the vet or on car rides. She only goes in the fenced backyard with it on (we live on such a busy street I worry.)

Anyway, it is made of a heavy grade waterproof material (my brother asked why she had on a life jacket the first time he saw it. Always with the comments about her figure ) Hard to describe but it is like an "I" with another horizontal piece in the middle. It covers her entire back from neck to past her waist (or where her waist should be) and probably 3/4 of her circumference. It has a velcro closing at the neck, one just behind her front legs and one across her girth.

It has a ring for attaching a leash (and bell in her case.) It is very difficult for her to wiggle out of. The only way she has escape from it is when she caught it on a branch.

Although I won't say she loves it she knows wearing it is the only way she can go in the backyard. She has even been known to sit on it as a sign she would like to go outside. She will come running when I jingle it.

It is far easier to get her harness on her than it is to shove a hissing and growling gray mass into a plastic container!
