Little Onyx is very vocal, and we noticed today that she's noisier when she hears people in the hallway of our building. I was planning on harness training both of the girls eventually (Ruby loves going outside), but I was planning on starting after the snow melted and now I'm thinking I should start sooner.
We have a harness for Ruby, which she wears for a few hours every now and again, and I wanted to see if it would fit Onyx (I've seen kitten harnesses at Petsmart, but I was hoping not to have to buy a new one when she outgrows it ). So, I used a Sharpie to mark where the adjuster-thingies were for Ruby's fit, and made it smaller. It's one of those nylon ones with loops around their neck and chest, and straps connecting the two.
Not sure if you can actually really see the harness there, but it's the only photo I've got.
Anywho. I tightened the neck part as much as it would go, and the chest strap to roughly kitten-sized, and I put it on Onyx. The chest strap fit just fine, but the neck strap seems too big. She bit at it and got her teeth all the way around it.
I'm guessing I'm probably gonna need to get a kitten harness or, more likely, wait until she can fit in this one, but what do you guys think? She's around 4-5lbs, pretty long/slender (but not oriental-ish).
