Hi! I'm planning to begin walking my 6 month old kitten, but she got spayed on March 27th. How long should I wait until I begin 'training' her?
Also, do you guys have any tips? I've had cats that I walked before, but they were always trained by somebody else so I have no idea how to properly train Kisa to enjoy walks. Which kind of harness would work best for her? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance :)

I'd wait until the incision is fully healed, for a couple of reasons.  First, you don't want to risk exposing a semi-healed incision to God-knows-what outside, and second, you don't want a harness to irritate that area at all.

As far as the best harness goes, I'm in favor of the "holster" type harnesses.  They look a little like the "Thunder Shirt" that you see advertised on television, and seem to be very comfortable on the cats.
