I know quite a few members here have trained their cats to go out on a leash and harness. Anyone want to share any funny anecdotes?
Fiona is totally trained for her harness. It took a couple of days of wearing the harness for a couple of hours, but she picked it up pretty quickly. (At first she would only walk backwards and fall down a lot.
) She is so well trained that we were able to take her on her leash to New Jersey with us (we live in Virginia) via car AND boat ride. She caused quite a stir on the Cape May-Lewes ferry, and their marketing director even took our picture to put in their newsletter!
Lolly on the other hand... is still working on it.
The first night we put it on her, she would NOT stand up for anything, and just rolled around the room! Then, she started somersaulting!
She was just faking though.. as soon as the laser pointer came out, she suddenly remembered she could walk again.
We've been gradually increasing Lolly's time with the harness on every day, and she's almost perfect with it now. She has it on at this very moment, and is snoozing away on top of her cat tree.
By the way, this is the funniest picture of a cat on a harness I've ever seen. Check out the World's Heaviest Harness group for more hilarious pictures.. or maybe I jus have a sick mind and it's only hilarious to me.
