Surviving Your Cat’s First Harness Adventure

Ever tried putting a harness on a cat? It’s like assembling IKEA furniture—except the furniture has claws and a grudge. But if you want your feline to safely explore the world (or just not escape at the vet), a harness is your new best friend. Step 1: Pick your style—Figure Eight, H-harness, or the ultra-cozy vest. Measure your cat’s chest (good luck) and add a couple inches for comfort. Step 2: Let your cat sniff the harness, maybe bribe them with treats. Slide the small loop over their head, fasten the big loop around their chest, and adjust so you can fit two fingers underneath. Step 3: Watch your cat flop dramatically. Ignore the betrayal in their eyes. Give more treats. Repeat until they forget it’s even there. Congrats, you’re ready for the leash! Or at least, you’re ready to try. Remember: patience, snacks, and maybe some protective gear for yourself. #CatHarness #PetSafety #CatTraining #Pets #Cats
