Leash Technique and
Your First Adventure Out
We recommend you acclimate your cat to the har-
ness indoors—with lots of praise, petting, and
play—before going outside. Practice using a
a gentle increase of tension to encourage
your cat not to strain against the leash.
Apply tension if your cat pulls away from
you. Release tension when she is calm.
Your goal is to walk without tension,
using a loose leash. Give rewards of
treats, toys or petting when your cat
walks calmly or remains at your side.
Never jerk or yank on the leash! Simply
praise your cat for calm interactions and
ignore any unwanted behaviors.
The acclimation process can take anywhere
from a few minutes to a few days, or sometimes
longer. But before too long, your kitty will almost
certainly find that the opportunity for a stroll outside is
very rewarding indeed! Bear in mind that for some cats who
have rarely been outdoors, the experience can be a bit overwhelming at
first. Allow you cat time to move slowly, look around, and feel safe. Rather
than drag your cat in a specific direction, allow him the chance to explore
at his own pace. In the beginning, brief trips outdoors may be best.
You may want to begin near the door of your house or along a hedge or
planted area, rather than in the middle of an open yard. Your cat will
likely feel more comfortable and less “exposed” if she feels
there is safe shelter near by. If she insists on trying
to duck into or under things, gently guide her or
pick her up, move her a short distance away.
Remember to offer rewards! If your cat is
feeling stressed, she’s unlikely to want a
treat reward, so use petting, feather toys,
a string to chase, etc.
Ready, Set, Go!
Once your cat is comfortable with the
harness and leash and you have had
successful outdoor time, you may choose
to use a long-line (a 10 to 15 foot light,
flat leash) to allow your cat a greater range
within a safe area. Imagine a lovely picnic on
the lawn with your kitty able to explore a wide
circle around you!

Enriched environments, including play and mental stimulations,
are key to a low-stress life. Many feline behaviors about which
clients complain are usually associated with lack of mental and
physical stimulations, or with fear or anxiety, making them largely
preventable. Enriching the cat’s environment and providing con-
sistency in their routines prevents many of these problems.
Feline Behavior Guidelines from the
American Association of Feline Practitioners
We’ve designed the Come With Me Kitty Harness and Bungee Leash to
help enrich your cat’s life with the sights, sounds and smells of a safe
outdoor experience. It allows you to share enjoyable walks, exercise,
and playtime outside your home. More
quality time together leads to a
deeper, more fulfilling rela-
tionship for both you and
your cat!
Most feline veterinary
practitioners indicate
that the average
household cat is
under-exercised,
under-stimulated
and overweight. So
both veterinarians
and behaviorists
recommend our indoor
cats get more exercise and
activity. The Come With Me Kitty
Harness and Bungee Leash gives you
gentle control of your cat or kitten, while allowing her to explore the world
outside your door. The patented design allows a gentle pressure on the
leash to cradle your cat, thus restraining any forward motion without
putting pressure on the delicate throat area. The cradling effect is calming
to most cats, and provides safe and easy control for you.
The adjustable sternum slide allows you to create a custom fit for your
cat’s body type, while the dual adjustment points on the girth strap allow
a snug, safe fit. The shoulder straps glide through the two D-rings on the
back, allowing an increase of tension (when needed) to restrain your cat
without choking. The bungee leash provides a little extra “give” to soften
the effect of kitty reaching the end of the leash.
Cats have an undeserved
reputation for being difficult to train.
Two factors play into this:
Owners with a new puppy can’t wait to take him out and introduce
him to all the wonders of the world. Because most people assume
kittens and cats can’t be trained, they make little or no effort to give them
the same opportunities.
Unfortunately, most people are unaware that kittens have an earlier
“easy learning window” than puppies, and so miss out on this
wonderful growth stage.
The truth is that most cats
are not given enough
novel experiences
and learning
opportunities in
kittenhood to
prepare them to
respond happily to
new experiences
and interactions
with humans.
This can result in
adult cats who are
frightened, confused
or de-motivated by new
things. Unfortunately, those
cats often remain housebound.
Kittens learn about social interactions and form opinions about their
world very early. Age 3 to 8 weeks is the optimal time for kittens to
develop social skills with other cats and people. Gentle handling by a
variety of people, including children, brushing and tender examination of
body parts are all very beneficial.
From 9 to 16 weeks, your kitten continues to learn how to interact with
her world. Social play is very important in this stage. It’s also the right
time to give your kitten numerous chances to experience safe, new
places and fun experiences. These good encounters literally create
“learning pathways” in the brain, which ensures that your cat will
continue to easily accept new things in the future.
Starting at 6 to 8 weeks, and continuing through 16 weeks of age is the
perfect time to introduce your kitten to outdoor fun using the Come With
Me Kitty Harness and Bungee Leash. If your cat is in this age range,
congratulations!
If your cat is older, don’t despair! In fact, many cats don’t join their
new families until they are well past kittenhood. After 4 months of age,
your cat can still learn to truly enjoy new experiences, but the process
usually requires a little more patience. It’s important that the entire
procedure includes happy associations with things that your cat loves
or enjoys in order to be most successful. With a little bit of planning,
you can introduce your cat to a wonderful variety of safe and pleasant
experiences. The Come With Me Kitty Harness and Bungee Leash will
make it easy and fun for both of you.
For the greatest benefit and enjoyment of your Come
With Me Kitty Harness and Bungee Leash, we sug-
gest that you read and understand these instructions
completely before fitting or using the harness.
Indoor cats live longer. The average life expectancy of an outdoor cat is just two to five years, while an indoor cat may survive for 17 or more
years. Cats who roam outside are constantly in danger from cars, animal attacks, disease, poisons, and human cruelty. Unaltered, free-
roaming cats are the single highest cause of cat overpopulation.
You may find these figures startling and distressing—the American Bird Conservancy esti-
mates that millions of songbirds are killed each year by free-roaming cats. By choos-
ing a harness and leash rather than allowing your cats to roam free, you can help
protect our songbird populations for generations to come.
The American Bird Conservancy urges cat owners to keep cats as
primarily indoor pets, but to train cats to go outside on a harness and
leash on a regular basis.

Indoors! Campaign, please go to their web site—www.abcbirds.org.
Today’s cat owners face an important decision: “Should I keep my cat indoors?”

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)
