If we have to evacuate having a leash and harness on them will be helpful.
Just a note from a long time cat lover...get your cat chipped! all of ours have easily slipped out of all of their collars and in fact you want a cat collar to be loose enough so they can slip out if they get caught otherwise. Ray, my avatar got caught in a brush pile on a trip and came home without his harness and tags. We had a new harness which he's till wearing but had to wait to get him now tags! Our vet made them up for him for $9....but surest is chipping. All shelters now have the equipment.
