My cats are brothers so get along fine and the slightly older one grooms his little brother. There is a lot of cats at my yard (6-ish) and there is a new kitten aswell. The kitten doesnt really play with the cats that much because there is lots more to play with (ex. The lunge whip, the hay...

I would go and collect him asap because his health is at risk. Good luck x

It isn't supposed to reach the saddle. Some shops will compensate you with a gift card or exchange if they have wrongly told you that it fits correctly. However they may not but its worth a try. Good luck :)
