Is the animal bursting into unknown distances, constantly running out into the corridor? You can help your pet in this by walking him. To do this, you need to know how to wear a harness on a cat. Of course, no cat without a fight will not allow such an action to happen just like that the first time. Moreover, he will not walk along the street near you and will not break out, obeying control. They all feel like a cat that "walks by itself." And now they will have to be deprived of their freedom, which is extremely unpleasant for them.
Before you put on a harness on a cat, you need to accustom him to her, to give a look:
1) First, the pet must sniff it, play and get used to the new accessory. This usually takes 2-3 weeks.
2) You can not wear a harness on the cat and immediately bring him out into the street: first he must walk around the house in it.
3) After a few days, you can attach the leash. First, he himself must choose the direction, and then you can gradually begin to adjust it.
When you learn how to wear a harness on a cat, you will have many pleasant consequences:
- to walk with your pet and not worry that he can break out;
- it is indispensable if you want to participate in exhibitions;
- harness is an indispensable friend when traveling to the vet.
How to wear a harness on a cat so that she could not escape from her and run away
To prevent unpleasant consequences, everything must be done correctly. There are two types of harnesses. We will figure out how to dress each of them.
The first type: "figure eight"
They are the most common and are great if you just train your pet to harness. This design is a collar and belts that pass under the front paws, and the clasp is in the area of the shoulder blades, where there is a carbine. It is difficult to wear such a harness, so you have to try, but after a while you will learn, and everything will become easier.
- First of all, a collar is put on, the harness is rotated so that the carabiner is between the shoulder blades.
- When this point is completed, you can proceed to the legs, which need to be inserted into the special holes designed for this.
- Then tighten the belts and check. The distance between the cat’s body and the harness is one finger.
- We fasten a leash to a carbine.
If you did everything right, then the pet will not be able to break out.
Note: in the case when you need to fasten the strap yourself under one of the paws, first you need to poke the paw into the hole that is fixed, and then into the free one.
How to wear a harness on a cat, which belongs to the second type
Its design is simpler, it is without a collar, which avoids the burden on the corresponding department, but it is not worth putting on a “beginner” because it will be more difficult to control the pet. It consists of two triangles under the paws, so putting it on is much easier:
- put the harness on the floor / table (the surface should be flat);
- with the front legs we put the cat in the corresponding triangular holes;
- fasten the harness just below the shoulder blades;
- fasten the leash.
You can use a harness-jumpsuit if the cat can not get used to the straps. It is fastened with Velcro and is almost not noticeable on the body. If the pet has not been given the necessary vaccinations, do not walk with him on the street, as the risk of getting an infection increases greatly. Before you put on the harness on the cat, you must not forget to "attach" an anti-flea collar to it.
