Very cute! Good on you for being responsible too, both for the wildlife's sake and theirs π

Thanks. I think, helping the wildlife around here is a lost cause. There are a lot of cats in this neighborhood. But I do hope that it helps to protect our cats, since we lost our last two cats outside within the last two years.
We will watch their careers with great interest.
I tried this with my cats once, but they were not having it at all.
We want them to get used to the harness while they are young. It was surprisingly easy. They ignored the leash completely as soon as they were outside and saw interesting things.
We started as well with a leash when ours was a kitten, now (at 4 years) heβs completely used to it. He even sits to let it put on π
Nice work! Mine were already 3 or 4 by that point so it was too late. ;-;
Is it hopeless for my 3 yo cat to accept a harness?
She never got out so now that I have an accessible garden I would like to try to teach her to use a leash and harness.
I think it depends on the cat tbh. Mine were from the streets, so I think there was a lot "done with this shit, never again" going on.
Quick question: you don't drink do you?
