Before You Begin
This will be a learning process for your cat, as you help her accept the harness
and learn to walk with the lead. Kittens will adjust most easily to the sensation of
the harness. An older cat may require more time to get used to the feeling of her
“new clothes.” It may be best to divide the fi tting and acclimation process into
several short sessions to keep the encounter positive. Try to end each session
on a pleasant note, and remove the harness when your cat is calm. If you sense
your cat’s reaction is on the verge of escalating, do not prolong the session, as
it may make the next one more diffi cult!
• If your cat is sensitive to handling or becomes anxious when encountering
new things, use treats, food, petting, brushing, or a favorite toy to make the
fitting experience a pleasant one.
• Choose a quiet time and a quiet room indoors without distractions for either
you or your cat.
• Reassure kitty with a calm voice and gentle petting in areas that she likes.
• Do not scold or yell, do not force, and never hit your cat. Your cat must feel
safe in the situation or she will be unable to learn from the experience.
• Schedule whatever kitty enjoys – mealtime, playtime, petting and brushing,
or catnip fests – to happen when she is wearing the harness. This helps her
associate the harness with good things!
Properly fitted, the harness will be very comfortable and safe for
your cat. Remember that any new clothing or equipment – shoes,
eyeglasses, contacts, or braces – may feel unusual at first, but
we acclimate to them in a short period of time. Do not let an
initial reaction from your cat discourage you. Keep in mind the
long-term goal of enriching your cat’s life by giving her broader
daily experiences .
