Mine were in kitten harnesses, cut down, made of webbing - we used a
very hot nail to add holes, as I recall. I attached the tag to the
back, and just ordered the smallest tag offered from a place that does
dog/cat tags. The rug rats didn't seem to notice the tags, but needed
to get used to the harnesses. You need to put them on snug, just be
able to slip a finger tween fert and collar, or the fert will slip it
off! Also, check the fit frequently, and check for sores from the
harness hardware, too.
