Another RVer loses their cat....
On Facebook there's a page for RVers with pets. A woman was walking her cat in a harness and the cat managed to free itself and run off. They were leaving the next day.... no cat. They stayed an extra...

Oh,that's awful! I've read accounts like this in the past and the CG kept the cat's photo and owner's cell number on a poster in their office. At least a couple of times that I remember, the kitty DID show up again.
Her cat is still in the area. Several people have seen it. I hope and pray she gets it back.
Toy breed dogs will pull backwards right out of a harness, too. We bought This Kind of harness for our dogs and nobody has ever escaped from them. They have lasted for many years, too. When we had to evacuate a few years back, we put one on the cat to take her with us, and she could not back out of it, either. I think the mesh is kind of anchored by the pet's fur and that keeps it in place. Also, the flaps are closed with velcro.
That reminds me of a harness for cats called Kitty Holster Harness:

These are supposed to be escape proof. We don't take our cats out in harnesses because we don't want them to become addicted to it as they became addicted to being carried out to the Gander Mountain screen room. With 4 cats all we'd be doing is walking them around outside.
