So I finally managed to get some Harness walking pictures since the temps have been cool enough to take them out!

Todays adventures of Winston and Murphy included:

Much plant sniffing and grass eating...






Plenty of shadow chasing and stalking invisible things!





Any my personal favourite! Tree climbing!!

haha, those tree climbing pics are adorable, especially the first one. He looks like he ran out of rope and couldn't go any higher and was wondering "what the heck?!" hehe

I want to do that with my kittens! Where can I buy harnesses and how much are they usually? I bet Angel would love to go out today, she tried to already.
I also love the tree climbing pics. Their facial expressions are so cute!

I got mine from Petco, I think the Harness and lead where about $18 for the pair (They are sold separate)

I was reading up on how to train them and the best way I found was just to put the Harness on and let them throw their tantrum. They wriggle, squirm and chase them selfs in circles, but after 10 minutes they calmed down and when that happened I gave them treats. They then learned it was a good thing.

Now I get me-owed to death if I DON'T take them out!!

Great pictures! They sure look like they had a blast!

My cats loved it when they got to go out on harness walks. We don't anymore--we live on the 3rd floor, plus lots of people have their big dogs off leash in the complex.

OH those pictures are SO cute! They look like they had a blast...

What kind of harness is that?
And do they come kitten sized?

EDIT: WHOOPS! I need to read a little more carefully!

Hmm I forget the brand, it's a "H" shape though. Those harness' fitted the boys when I got them at 3 MO (They were 3lbs each) .. of course I had them on the smallest fitting lol.

Cute pictures


Quick question, i haven't yet tried out the harness Tristan has (Cleo hated it) will it work on an 8 year old kitty...big size difference i know. I'd like him to wander around the yard a little and know he's safe, not just have him in the enclosure. Though if we move i want to put up the anti-escape stuff around the fenceline instead.
