Not Sure What Size Harness/holster To Get?

[Gizmom]

So.. I've been on and off with trying to leash train my adult cat Gizmo. He was not a kitten when we got him so we couldn't introduce it to him young. I have two figure 8 type harnesses that he doesn't really take kindly too, so I wanted to try an H type harness/or a "walking jacket" type harness. I would like to get the Kitty Holster but I'm unsure of which size to get. (Size chart:

Neck Girth (chest)
XS

5" - 9" 10" - 14"
S/M

9" - 12" 13" - 17"
M/L

10" - 13" 16" - 20"
XL

11" - 15" 19" - 23 )

I've measured Gizmo a couple times and his neck is 8-9 inches and his chest is 14-15 inches. M/L and XL is obviously too big, but I'm not sure if I should get the XS or the S/M? Would it be better if it's a little snug or should it have some wiggle room/not be too small if he gets any bigger in the future?

If he's a longhair cat I'd go with the S/M. If he's shorthair try the XS. Where are you buying the kitty holster? Check on the return/exchange policy in case it really doesn't fit.

Thanks! Gizmo is a shorthair. And I'll be buying it from crazy k farm.

By the way, I don't know if this matters in choosing a size but Gizmo is around 10 pounds. And would the narrow collar option on the customizable holsters make it to where it's not so tall up his neck? It just seems like there's a lot of fabric in the neck area.

Sorry I just saw this thread today. Gypsy weighs about 8 lbs her measurements are neck 8" chest 12" so I ordered an XS Kitty Holster Cat Harness from crazy k farm. Her neck is pretty short so I paid the extra $5.00 for the narrow collar. Jacket is great, we love it. Perfect size there is plenty of room for adjustment. I had emailed crazy k farm while I was researching walking jackets & was told an exchange for size wouldn't be a problem. Here are some pics. There are more photos of our excursions in her albums on my home page.
