Vivi had her first walk. I have been training her since I started fostering.

This is my 9 year old deaf cat Frankie.  He has always shown interest in the yard and we decided to buy him a harness, however he goes out and seems to like it but he just sits there and eats grass.  He looks around and seems to not want to leave but I don't know why he refuses to explore.  Is it too overwhelming?  Is it because he is deaf?  Did i walk him too quickly?  I want to know if i should keep trying to walk with him and how i would be able to make him move, or if i should try walking my cat that tries to escape all the time?  Please help!

Is it worth it (read body)

I thought I would ask here if anyone has some recommendations on strong leashes and harnesses. 

I have an Egyptian Mau called Pepper who I take out on a leash but she is an escape artist and has figured out if she moves backwards she can slip out of it. The harness I got for her is a padded one that Velcro’s under the stomach and you can clip the leash between the shoulders. 

I’m thinking she needs something different so I would really appreciate some recommendations from others who take their kitties out on leashes. 

♥️♥️

Harness recommendations?

This is why he needs to be on leash… he LOVES cars 

So I got a kitten like month and half ago and we harness trained him since we got him, slowly w treats and for few mins a day. He got so used to it rather fast and to the point that he doesn't even know it's on and let's me put it on and off whenever I would feel like it. 
Thing is however that he is really scared outside,  I tried to give him lots of treats, but he simply starts to ignore them once we are further from home. He is able to walk alone in some parts but for rest of the walk he usually freeze in place or when I go down on my knees, he hides under or near me. 
 He is a really curious older kitten (8 months rn) and likes to explore world around him, but gets scared when he is actually outside.
I want to give my kitten a chance to explore the ouside, I wouldn't force him if I didn't feel like he doesn't want that, it's just that he starts to shake after a while but I desparately want to help him gain some confidence in himself ( no treats or toys help though ). To give insight on out area, we have to cross a road to get to empty grass area or forest near us, he does fine around cars, but other than that it's disaster sadly. 
( + he js a mainecoon and the breeder told us they are one of the breeds that like to explore/ go out)

TL;DR; 
I have cat for 1 and half months,  harness/leash trained from the start and he got used to it fast that it's now not any issue to take it on/off. He is curious and likes to observe outside and explore inside, however once we get to explore the outside as well, he freezes once we are further from home and hides under me. I am not sure what to do, treats or toys don't help.

Help! My cat is excelent on harness but is scared of the outside

She has a vest style and now this H style strappy harness. This one gives her more movement to jump up on the deck and patio furniture. She mostly likes to lounge in the sun and has taken quickly to the harness and the outdoors.

She's liking her new harness!

This Yap Wrap harness is nice but a bit bulky for movement. She slipped out of her new Voyager harness. Suggestions?

My 13 year old girl finally has a space to go outdoors. What's everyone's favorite harness?

There's birbs in the trees

Made a Golden Girls harness for Ruthie. I need to tweak the design a bit but she’s happy to get out!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been walking my cat for almost three years now. Recently, though, she’s started to bite me when I pick her up to take her outside, because she likes to be outside. I walk her 30 minutes a day. Any advice?

Cat is biting me

First outing with our new cat

It's a nice day for once, so Mr Floops got to spend some time in his favorite chair.

Toulouse started feeling confident enough on his leash to climb ! Big win for us this morning / OC

this is baby Bear ❤️🐻 started leash training at 2 month

Cat on Leash meets Free-range peer

They can’t see me 🥸

Let’s go!

Getting my two orange boys used to being outside and in a harness :)

Artie investigating the tree 😻 (he’s really not so short and fat as he looks here lol)

Zuko likes going outside on his leash. But he is scared of other people. I am trying to build his confidence by sitting with him on the door step and just letting him watch the world go by, but it is having little effect. Strange noises also scare him.

In the back garden, he loves it. It can be a pain to get him to come back in! Last time, he kept bouncing away from me as I tried to pick him up, because I was getting cold. 

He also won't go far from the front door, even on quiet days. 

So what can I do to boost his confidence. He has the curiosity and the enjoyment of the outside, just, too nervous around noises and people.

How to build confidence around other people and noises?

Absolutely no pics of dogs or other animals on leashes.  Cats on leashes only!
