Hi everyone,
I finally got the Kitty Holster harness yesterday and of course couldn't wait to put it on Whiskey. He looks just darling in red
He let me put the harness on no problem, wasn't afraid of the velcro sounds. He actually started purring right after I put it on, but he's weird this way, he purrs after a bath, when i put him in the carrier, and now in the harness too
But I'm not sure if it's comfortable for him or not, especially around the neck. His neck, I think, is short compared to the harness, and the neck part of the harness is very stiff from all the velcro, and overall he moves really awkward... Is it normal for the first ever harness training attempt? Do you think he'll get used to it? Or the harness isn't a good fit? I feel like I'm putting him in a straight jacket judging by the way he acts and moves.
Couple of videos I've made (sorry for the quality, i don't have a clue how to edit videos)
First one: the harness was pretty loose, and the second, I think, it's a bit tighter on him.
We did try again today, he did pretty much the same thing, walked a bit, plopped down, rolled around, went after some treats, went backwards a few times...
General thoughts, advice or encouragement is greatly appreciated.
