Hi all,
Our 2 cats are just over 6 months old and I am wondering whether now is the right time to harness train them.
I believe that they would get considerable enjoyment and stimulation from going outside, but am worried that once they have had the opportunity to go out they will not be content with stopping inside anymore.
All of my previous cats have been outdoor/indoor cats, so this is an issue I have never previously had to face.
In the future we are planning on building a catio with a cat flap, so the cats can have safe access to the outside world whenever they want. However we are moving house (hopefully) once things have returned to normal after covid 19, so cannot really build the catio until after the move.
I would love to hear about other people’s experience with harness training. At what age did you start, and what was your cats reaction? Also do you have any tips for me?
Thank you all, and here is a photo of our dynamic duo, just because
