So I've decided to harness train my two cats. I bought the harnesses an leashes today. I figured I'd share the training journey here, for both future advice and for others to learn as well.
Lets start with Monet, who is 6 years old.. I only managed to get the neck piece on him. Left it on him for about 10 minutes with treats before I took it off. He was starting to get stressed- a little at a time!
Cassie, 3 years old, did not complain when I put the harness on her. Though her belly was low and slow, she moved around with no issues. I then leashes her and no issues. Then I took her outside- she was scared but did explore a bit. I think she will learn to accept quickly.
Here's a few quick photos I snapped of Cassie. Her eyes were not dialated in fear which is a good thing!
