Encouraging Your Cat
with Enjoyable Rewards
Cats of all ages are quicker to respond positively to new things when you
make the experience fun and rewarding. Make a mental list of the things
your cat likes—treats, mealtime, special toys, long feathers, “fishing pole”
type toys, praising voice, petting, scratching an ear or the base of her tail,
brushing—whatever motivates her! You’ll use these things right from
the beginning in the process of getting your cat used to the harness and
exploring the world with you. From your cat’s point of view, he should
always associate the Come With Me Kitty Harness with enjoyable rewards.
When planning to use food or treats as a reward, keep in mind that if
your cat has free access to unlimited food at all times, you are forfeiting
control of one of your strongest motivators. Work with your veterinarian
to determine the ideal daily food
intake for your cat (both standard
food as well as healthy treats). Then
consider using a measured portion (or
all!) of her normal meal as part of your
rewards during training and walking with the
harness. Kibble and treats can be fed by hand,
or canned foods can be given from a spoon. Couple
this with a soft praising voice, and you have a wonderful
reward to be associated with the harness and fun exercise.
Before You Begin
This will be a learning process for your cat, as you help her accept the
harness and learn to walk with the leash. Kittens will adjust most easily
to the sensation of the harness. An older cat may require more time to
get used to the feeling of her “new clothes.”
It may be best to divide the fitting and acclimation process into several
short sessions to keep the encounter positive. Try to end each session on
a pleasant note, and remove the harness when your cat is calm. If you
sense your cat’s reaction is on the verge of escalating, don’t prolong the
session, as it may make the next one more difficult!
If your cat is sensitive to handling or becomes anxious when
encountering new things, use treats, food, petting, brushing, or
a favorite toy to make the fitting experience a pleasant one.
Choose a quiet time and a quiet room indoors without distractions for
either you or your cat.
Reassure him with a calm voice and gentle petting in areas that
he likes.
Don’t scold or yell, don’t force, and never hit your cat. Your cat must
feel safe in the situation or she will be unable to learn from the
experience.
Schedule whatever kitty enjoys—mealtime, playtime, petting
and brushing, or catnip fests—to happen when he is wearing the
harness. This helps him associate the harness with good things!
Properly fitted, the harness will be very comfortable and safe for your cat.
Remember that any new clothing or equipment—shoes, bras, eyeglasses
or contacts, or braces—may feel unusual at first, but we acclimate to
them in a short period of time. Don’t let an initial reaction from your cat
discourage you. Keep in mind the long-term goal of enriching your cat’s
life by giving her broader daily experiences.
leash
attachment
Move sternum slide down to make the opening large enough for your cat’s head. Slide
shoulder straps on either side of your cat’s head with leash attachment over the with-
ers/back. (figure 2)
Adjust side straps for a snug girth fit. (figure 3)
Chest piece goes between legs and side girth straps behind front legs. Snap in
place. (figure 4a) (Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary until fit is snug.)
Note that the connector “O” ring should rest on the belly, just behind the cat’s
front legs. (figure 4b)
You may want to release the girth strap temporarily to make the next adjust-
ment easier. (figure 5)
Position the black rubber stopper near the leash connector to keep the
shoulder straps in place. (figure 7) Check to see that tightening the leash
does not result in the sternum slide riding up too high, putting pressure on
the trachea. If it does, adjust the sternum slide to sit lower on your cat’s
chest.
Re-snap the side straps into place. Move the sternum slide to sit just below
the cat’s breastbone so that it will not ride up to your cat’s throat area. (fig-
ure 6)
