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)
