Lay the reference flat
Measure one edge of a square bandana that already fits comfortably. Pet Parade S is 17⅜ in / 44 cm square before folding; M is 21¼ in / 54 cm and L is 25¼ in / 64 cm.

Cat bandana guide: sizing and safe wear
A cat bandana is an accessory, not safety equipment. Compare a familiar square first, keep the fit loose enough for comfort, and supervise every wear.
Use measured fabric, not a generic label
Begin with a bandana your cat already tolerates.
Account for folding and tying
The diagonal fold creates the triangle, while the knot uses part of the available fabric. A square measurement alone does not predict an exact neck fit.
Stop if your cat resists
Introduce any accessory briefly and calmly. Remove it if it appears tight, catches on anything, limits movement, or causes distress.
The supplier identifies S for small pets and says it will not fit an adult. That note is not a cat-specific fit guarantee, so compare the actual 44 cm square with an accessory your cat already wears comfortably.
Accessory limits
Keep identification and restraint separate.
Pet Parade is a tie-on fabric square. It is not a collar or restraint, does not hold identification, and should never be used instead of equipment selected for those jobs. Supervise use and remove the bandana before unsupervised rest, play, or access to snag hazards.
