Hello there! It sounds like you're caring for a special kitty with an e-tube, and it's wonderful that you're thinking about their comfort and safety. Cats with e-tubes can generally wear a harness, but it’s very important to ensure that the harness doesn’t interfere with the tube or cause any discomfort.
When choosing a harness, look for one that's adjustable and lightweight to avoid putting pressure on the feeding tube area. A vest-style harness is often a good choice, as it can distribute any pressure more evenly and helps avoid direct contact around the neck or tube area.
At home, you can make sure the tube is secure and covered; using medical tape and gauze can provide extra protection from accidental snags. Always be gentle when putting on or taking off the harness to prevent any pulling or tugging on the tube.
Watch out for signs of irritation or redness around the tube site, or if your cat seems uncomfortable or is trying to remove the harness themselves. These could indicate that the harness might be too tight or not fitting properly.
For personalized advice tailored to your cat's specific needs, I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We’d be happy to help make sure your kitty stays comfy and safe!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
