How tight should a cat harness be and can a dog harness fit a cat?

Question

When measuring Luna for a harness (chest and neck) how tight should the measuring tape be? Also is it ok to use a dog vest harness on a cat as long as I get the right size? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 8.2 lbs

You should only be able to fit 2 fingers underneath. You should be able to find a harness in her size. If you are going to leave it on all the time I typically then recommend a breakaway collar. That way if she gets it caught on something it automatically breaks. If it is just to go outside with you then a harness is a great idea, just make sure you remove it when you are done.
