Re: Kitten Q

Old enough to fit one. The younger they are when they are harness trained,
the easier it is for them to get used to it.. First leave it out for a few
days so the kitten can sniff it and get used to it, then put it on in the
house and let him get used to having it on. Then it's time to go outside!
It's important to make sure the harness fits right..cats are experts at
wriggling in and out of things!
