I too agree with that kayaking vests are the best! They also sit higher, making the use of a trapeze harness under it much easier. They are designed with the intent of allowing the user full range of motion in the arms, which is often needed on a cat. Check out the "Lola" model my Lotus Designs, or the "Contour" or "Retroglide" by Extrasport. I have the Lola and the Retroglide, both are great!
