Due to the recent gift I received I am now the proud owner of a 16 foot retractable leash and a harness for kitty.
Anyone know any tricks on how to do this? I know it's not going to work right away, so i figured I'd start teaching tinker. I put the harness on, inside of course, and without the leash, figuring it'd be best to just get her familiar with it.
It was rather comical. She stood frozen for a minute, and then started walking backwards.... a lot. lol.
I took it off about 3 minutes later figuring a soft introduction might be best, but I'm excited about the thought of getting to take the cats outside for exercise every day.
Anyone ever trained a cat for a harness/leash?
