My parents adopted two kittens last Fall- one is about 8 months, the other just about a year now. The younger, (neutered male) is the wildest kitten any of us has ever seen, and will not calm down. They play with him as much as possible (they're both approaching 80), and his sister loves to play as well, but he is not calm.
They want to abide by the humane society's "no outside cat" plan, so have purchased harnesses for these guys to get to come outside in the summer safely. Neither cat likes their harness, which my parents try to put on for a few minutes each day, offering plenty of treats, to get them to accept them. The younger kitten cannot stand the harness.
Any advice as to how long it normally takes for cats/kittens to adjust to a harness? They really want to make this work, and possibly help with little guy's boredom.
