Is a cat harness a good idea?

Taking your pet cat for a walk in a harness and on a leash is good for them as most felines enjoy spending time outside, taking in all of the different sights, smells, and sounds. It is particularly good for those felines that spend most of their time in doors. Taking your cat out for a walk also helps to strengthen the bond between you and your pussy cat, as you get to experience something together.

Although not all cats will enjoy putting on and / or wearing a harness, animal behaviour consultants believe that they should all be given the chance to experience it. Whilst out doors, your cat will be forced to use its brain in a different way compared to how it does when roaming around the house, so it is good for their cognitive development.

Being walked outdoors also helps to breed confidence into those felines that lack it. Being able to look around and experience their surroundings will, generally, make them much more confident in all other aspects of their lives. However, it should be pointed out that some cats do not like wearing a harness and leash, so it may be a struggle to get one on such felines. Participating in proper harness training is the best way to ensure that your cat will take to wearing a harness and be controlled by a leash.

The best cat harness to use for those cats with no experience of every wearing one before is the PetSafe Come With Me Kitty Harness and Bungee Leash, as the leash is long and has some give in it, which lets your pet cat still feel like they can run around and roam free.

After looking at some of the best cat harnesses out there, it is clear to see that the best cat harness for any pet owner that likes to take their cat out for a walk is the PetSafe Come With Me Kitty Harness and Bungee Leash, Harness for Cats. There are several reasons why we particularly like this specific product.

One is the body harness, which fully wraps around the cat in a H style and has some handy adjustable straps so that you can get the right fit for your cat. Despite it completely covering your cat, it is still easy to get in and out of, and has been designed to relieve pressure from the neck area. Then there is the leash, which is a bungee cord and extends to as long as 6 feet, and even has some give in it so that your cat is not roughly stopped when it reaches the end. Overall this is a high quality product that is definitely worth its price tag.

However, before purchasing a cat harness and leash yourself for your own cat, it is important to do lots of research in order to find the one that will suit your needs and those of your cat the best. Once you have done this, you can expect many fun hours enjoy the outdoors with your feline friend.
