Going out in a harness, gently
Published 2026-11-10 · Xavier Hure
A harness is adjusted to one cat. Start at home, long enough for the buckles to feel familiar.
Measure neck and chest, and choose a short lead for the first outings.
Kitten
Very short tries, in a quiet room.
Flat
The landing comes after the room. Keep the lead short.
