Hey guys! New sphynx/cat owner and I was curious which harness would be best to use and if there were any rashguards/sunscreen to put on him while we're outside in Texas. Osiris is about 3 months old and I would love to get him used to being out and about with us. He's my first cat due to allergies, but K's 8th cat so we do have some experience. Thank you guys! Also, he has earned the name "crackhead kitty" due to his antics. I can't imagine a life without him now!
What kind of harness should I use?

We use the Voyager harness...definitely size XS. It has. Clip, Velcro and ring for leash. XS might be a bit big for a kitten but due to Velcro can be adjusted a bit. You can google and look at colors nd prices. Second pic is our girlie in hers.

I've tried almost all types: a light body "rope" style harness, breakaway collar, and similar one as above. It all boils down to safety more than anything. Don't want to sound negative but if you use elevators please be extra vigilant to avoid accidents like the leash getting snagged as this happened to a family friend not too long ago and the pet passed on way too early.

My Clemmy could escape from any harness I purchased and I tried soooo many!! She could always do the backward escape. Finally I found one that I love and she unfortunately hates..lol. I’ve been using them for a while now and have had her try many times to no avail.
