I have two Bengal boys they are cousins both aged four with just four months between them.
I adore them both, They are Hilarious & Yes Noisy & Boisterous.
They have the run of the house, along with a 7’L x 2’W Tunnel leading outside into their Catio complete with hammocks, bridges, swing, running wheel, tree stumps & a snug hut.
But ….. I have tried various harnesses but one of my boys is like Houdini. He puts his head down between his outstretched front paws & pulls backwards to escape in seconds when in the garden with me.
Can anyone recommend a truly “Escape proof” harness please.

Welcome!
Your kitties sound like they have an awesome catio!

We are currently working with our cat to teach him to wear a harness too but we're still early in the training process so I don't have any suggestions there.

How long have they been indoor only? It seems like they love your house and are smart. Have you clicker trained them,not for the harness

I tried different types of harness. My cats are too clever and within 1 minute they removed it. I gave up on harness. Sorry I could not be of more help. By the way your set up is outstanding and should keep them happy and busy.

Hi 👋 They have been indoor cats since kittens, just over four years. They are not clicker trained just talking to them. Thank you 😊
