cats

Advantages of these specific bodies I have:

• way easier to put on, as the strings cannot be twisted etc.

• more secure due to the usage of velcro fasteners + only one clip string. At least here, those clip strings are standardized to open at a certain amount of pull applied to it. The goal is that the cat cannot hang itself. Only one clip instead of two means the force doesn't need to pull open two strings at once in the worst case

• also more secure due to the velcro + clip usage around the neck: I have personally seen a cat that somehow got her front paw into her collar, which caused her not to be able to move and especially not to free herself. Since the clip strings use basically the same principle, I guess this could also happen with them, with the leg causing just not enough pull for it to open. Why does this even matter? Well, from my experience you first need to get your cat used to the harness without attaching the leash. They need to be able to comfortly walk around, say, your whole apartment, before you can use it outside. And this is done best by having it attached for several hours, and not having to watch them every single minute is just way easier.

• I paid attention to get a body harness that is breathable but still sturdy. My cat has thick furr (due to having some maine coon genes in her). It is a loose mesh instead of tightly nitted.
