My first attempt to wear a harness on my Scottish Fold, Bruce (actually is Bruce Lee) failed. He either retreat or jump over the harness.  Don’t want to be too hard on him on the first day so will try again tomorrow or so.
I also carried him out of his room. He was ok and was quite relax on my lap but as soon as my sister’s hand approached he flee. Second attempt same result. Will try again tomorrow see if he has any improvement. |
it is ok. i m quite an observant person actually. anyway, no cats would like to wear a harness for the 1st time. perhaps what u can do is to fasten the harness on Bruce but w/o the leash. let him walk around with the harness till he is comfortable with it. juz make sure the harness is not too tight that might restrict his movement n also not too loose where he can get it out. after half a day, then u can try put the leash n see how he react. juz remember if he do not want to move, do not drag Bruce ya. pity the fellow. again, after fasten the harness, give him a treat n pamper him.... if he juz sit there, lure him with treats n pat him if he come towards u...
