I have not had much luck using harnesses with a strap between the leg, but if your cat tolerates them then great. Just be aware that the way they get out of a harness is to *back* out of it, so having a chest strap will do nothing at all to prevent this. Our MC mix spent like 4yrs outside on a rope all day wearing one of the H-style harnesses plus going for walks every night. In all those many *thousands* of hours of wearing an H harness, he managed to get out of it only twice (and trees were involved both times).
