I've started putting Saffy on a cat harness, she had her first trip in the garden today.
She tried to bite the lead section off (no hope, it's a metal clasp!) and run away from me.
She almost made it under the fence to our neighbours garden, so i had to pull gently on the lead to coax her back in to our garden..
The way i see it, she knows she hasn't got a choice anymore. If she wants to go out, it's a harness or a no go! After what happened to her brother, i'm not taking any chances. Even if it does seem as if her freedom has been snatched away, we just have to improvise.
I think some cats will love it, some won't. With Saffy, she hates it - so it's about 20 mins every few days of wearing her harness in the house, just to get her used to it - even if she does yowl, crawl along the floor, and then attack me, i know it's for her benefit!
Luckily for me, she doesn't know how to get out of it. Yet!
Tameeria, we're looking to building a cat run too. I've told the OH he has to have it made by the end of this week.
We just figured the harness was a way for Saffy to get fresh air (safely) in the meantime. It's a hassle though!
