Hoop for Cat/Dog Harness

I got a harness for my cats, and I was annoyed with its construction. There is a loop that goes under/inbetween the front legs of the cat, this loop is not attached to the rest of the harness, it just a loop that loosely loops around the rest of the harness. So every time I went to put the harness on the cats, that loop would just fall out and make the whole process tedious. The cats do not have patience for that when they want to go outside and look at the birds.

I made this hoop that locks this loop in place.  It is printed in flexible filament TPU. The small ball shape in the middle helps to keep it tight in place. With this the whole harness hold together, making putting the harness on a breeze.

When assembling this, it can be a bit tricky to put the hoop over the loop end. Take the loop off the harness. Squeeze down the loop edges, as much as you can. And push on the hoop. Then you get a smaller loop that you can thread the harness through as you normally would, push the hoop in to tighten the loop. This type of harness needs two of these hoops.
