We shall see!
When we think of the term “pet behavior”, we think of issues, like chewing or inappropriate urination or freaking out in a thunderstorm, not something more positive like getting your cat to walk on a leash. So I am taking up the challenge of training my cats to walk on a leash.
I have two indoor cats, Rocket and Rosie, who are 2.5 years old and have never gone outside. Heres a quick video introduction to them.
I know theyd like to go outsidebut Im committed to keeping themout of harms wayso we asked JoyKatz ifwe could test outsome of their beautiful handmade walking jackets for cats.
So, here are the kittens getting their harness put on.
And here they are wandering around with their harnesses.
As you can tell, it is going to take a while for them (Rosie in particular) to get used to the harnesses and associate them with a fun walk outside. It doesnt help that Im in Cleveland and its cold and snowy outside, and will be for a while. Perhaps well have to practise in the garage.
Ill post every now and then with their progress and next time, Ill show you the harness in more detail and how it works.
Thank you to JoyKatz for supplying these two Walking Jackets – they are very smart and well made indeed, and to Erin for taking some of the video.
