Hello!
Would anyone have advice on a good harness and lead for a slender Russian Blue kitten (4 months old)? Amazon options are overwhelming! And there's always something wrong in the reviews with all of them. So hard to know what to get.
Context for use:
I live in a top floor flat with a roof terrace. The terrace has railings around it that any cat can walk through. Beyond the railings is a kind of no access area that covers the whole building - overgrown with wild grasses and flowers. It's a great private garden for my cats. I've owned 3 cats in my time here and they have all enjoyed this space with no issues. However, they were chilled out cats (BSH crosses + a Persian). My RB kitten is a maniac! My Persian adult cat is super mellow. He has enjoyed access to the roof for 6 years now. However, I am worried about how an active, agile RB will take to this space. For now, I would like to let her out carefully supervised on a lead. She often looks out the window at the space. I would not consider her going out unleashed until she is around 1 year old (if at all). I've not owned RB before. I know they calm down when adults, but wonder how she will take to this space.
My flat is like a glass greenhouse, so rely on windows and terrace door open to survive the overheating (over insulation) of the building. All the flats here suffer from this. No AC. I like the cats to have their independence accessing the roof (this has worked with 3 cats) - but yet to know if this is feasible with an RB (Millie).
Many thanks!
