ARE CAT HARNESSES A GOOD IDEA?

If you are thinking of taking your kitty outside for some exercise and fresh air - a harness is a VERY GOOD IDEA. 

Like all new things, it will require some training.  We would sugggest introducing your pet slowly, in the house and practice before venturing outside.  Like training a dog to walk on a leash, it doesn't happen instantly.  Be patient and consistent and start indoors.

• First step is to get your cat used to wearing a harness.  Try first without a leash -have lots of high value treats available and get them into the harness.
• Once the harness is mastered, attach the leash and try walking indoors - maybe let them drag the leash around and don't try leading with too much tension
• Next would be to apply some tension and get used to having the leash attached and having some tension on the leash.
• Then practice walking indoors around the house.
• And, your all set to go outside!
