How to Harness a Cat

Your cat can have the best of both worlds: safety in the great outdoors. When you harness your cat, you don't have to worry about him getting lost or hit by a car.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• cat harness
• leash

1. Clasp the long cross strap of the harness behind your cat's front legs.

2. Clasp the short cross strap of the harness around your cat's neck.

3. Attach the leash to the metal o-ring on the main strap of the harness.

4. Take your cat for a walk, or tie the leash to a railing or stake in the yard.

Tips & Warnings

• Only put the harness on your cat when it's time to go outside.
• If you tie the leash to a stake, make sure the area is free of obstacles. Otherwise your cat can become tangled.
• Always use a harness instead of a collar. When attached to a leash, collars can cause the cat to choke.
