i give up !!!!!do i persevere with trying to get the harness on CASS or do i give up?? last wkend i had all the windows open,enough so i thought she couldnt get out,boy was i wrong  they'd been open for a few hrs,i hadnt noticed she'd gone was only coz i was going to take the dog out,i went to close the windows,as i live on the ground floor,that i noticed she'd gone i went out the back,hooked the door open and whistled,nothing!!!!! so i went back in leaving the back door open,to get a box of biscuits,went back out side n called her shaking the box n there she was,i lifted her up,but she hates that  so i let her go n she headed straight for the back door,how did she know where to go? ive only ever been out with her twice b4,do u think it was my smell or the other cat she could smell,so knew it was home,or just coincidental?

You will need to be calm when trying to put the harness on Cass........ if you are the slightest bit stressed I'm afraid she will pick it up and try to get away from you. Have you managed to get any of the straps on her at all? Is it a straight forward harness? |

Does she ever come and sit quietly next to you? If so, maybe you could have the harness close by, make a fuss of her and maybe play with the harness with her instead of trying to put it straight onto her..... it will get her used to the smell etc... |

Oh, I think she knew where home was; she's a smart girl, if stubborn about the harness! I think I'd give it a rest for a bit... it does sound almost as if it's become a test of wills about wearing it. |

She just may be one of those cats who will NOT adapt to a harness; such a pity as it gives an indoor cat a chance to enjoy the outdoors safely. All of mine but Leia did with no problems so I really can't offer any helpful advice. |
