Cat harnesses

Our cat likes to go outside. I tried different types of cat harnesses that are on sale, but they don't seem to fit well or they slide right off the cat... 

So, I decided to tackle the harness issues myself. 

I thought the harness above looked good and worked well. However, the cat himself hated it with passion. Each time we tried to put it on him, he would get agitated and bite us. So, I had to make another one that is easier to put it on him, which is shown below...

This is easier to put it on him. However, it is not 100 %, either. He had escaped from it a few times, especially when he pounces on the frogs in the back yard... We read keeping our eye on him, but I don't think I will be making these harnesses for other people's cats just because I cannot be responsible for their cats escaping... If you want me to show you how to make them, I can, but you need to make it and use it at your own risk. (Maybe our cat is simply very troublesome, and your cats are all good boys and girls... Sigh.)
