You inspired me almost a year ago to start training my cat when she was only 3 months old.
First, I fed her wet food from a dish on my shoulder (only place to reach it). She actively seeks out my shoulder for a perch now!
Second, I trained her on (your) escape proof leash. For the last 4 months, our leash time has changed from backyard relaxing to forest exploring.

Thank you Albert & Mia! I aspire to have a cat almost as well trained as yours! <3

I love your harness, and so do the cats. One has become a total adventure cat (we have created a monster); he will go to the door and meow at us. When the harness comes out he starts purring. Loud.

Both cats have gotten spooked and tried to run, the harness design worked perfectly and gave me the time to grab them without escaping.

SPOT ON with never letting tension be introduced that they can use as leverage!! I hardly see anybody talking about this.

My cat wanted to explore the outdoors, but in my neighbourhood there are a lot of dogs without leashes walking around, and I didn't feel comfortable letting him go out by himself; so we began leash training when he was about 6 months old, and he loves going out now. We started with a conventional harness, but he was very uncomfortable wearing it, but tolerated it for sometimes several hours. Lots of rewards, and he eventually got ok with using it, but when we went outside, it was too restrictive for him to really explore. I then got this Houdini harness and it changed EVERYTHING!
He seems more free now, exploring, and climbing trees (and dragging me through bushes) and he loves going out and exploring our neighbourhood with me. He'll see me take the leash, put on the cat backpack, and wait for me by the door until I get the harness on him. We normally walk for about an hour twice a week, and he loves it. We've gotten into a few dangerous situations before with dogs and cars, but this harness works really well, and gives me time to get back to him and put him on my shoulder or in the backpack to avoid these dangerous situations.
We end every walk with his favorite treat, and meal time. Thank you so much for your videos, I'm sure my cat appreciates you SO MUCH for inspiring me to take him out on walks now.

Much love to you and Mia!

Can you please show a video on how to make your cat walk beside you when on a harness I can’t find this information anywhere 😊

[leslieg.]

Thanks for this great harness. Do you have any suggestions for places to walk a cat when the weather does not permit. I live in an area where the heat was over 85 degrees for the past 3.5 months. I have so many ways to play with my cat, and a Ferris wheel (that I moved inside), but nothing is as good as walking her. She loves it.

Glad to see your videos again :) Do you only have one cat?

we got our first 2 kittens in dec and went back for their remaining sister in feb, (2 full littermates and a younger half sib bengals) and so we had to initially wait out the canadian winter due to shaved bellies from them getting spayed... it's taken months and a lot of work, but each of them can be "walked" on a leash... aka either they act like a dog walking beside us, out an exploring on a longer lead, or their insane running till the sudden stop. the older two can now be walked together and are mostly decently not yanking one of us in different directions at the same time. working the 3rd in has been harder, but she's a bit more feral and has more ALC than her month older sisters. i'm just now taking steps into walking all 3 together and my hope is by the time winter truly hits, i can take them all out together lol, because having to take them out one at a time in 3' of snow will be miserable for me at least.

our typically hardest part, is them trying to escape the house when we go out, and they've become experts at it. thankfully, them being typical yelling bengals, they are easier to track if they get out.

My Bengal-Tabby mix is a year old and leash training, after a couple of interruptions, is going well, thanks to your videos. We are just beginning to have a little fun and have a meadow surrounded by lovely trees, with sand for digging pleasure for her. Unfortunately, we cannot go into the dense, snake infested brush. We are in a subtropical zone. She has learned, through play in the house, what a snake is and I just tell her I can't go in there, there's bad snakes. She has nearly quite trying to escape into the brush without me and is doing more actual walking. At least we get out and she can eat grass. I am looking for a way to grow grass in a large, low container that she has room to lay down in. Do you have any suggestions for best equipment? I don't like the small choices offered and it's difficult to find something like a bulb forcing tray-like planter. Also, these are very expensive and what we want would be at least 15" X 22". She has a long body and stretches out to about 22". But how to grow without making a mess is another issue.

Love this video, thanks! I've been watching your videos for a good long while now. I now have two kittens, 6 months old, and want to start clicker training them. Any advice as to how to train two kittens at the same time? It seems impossible. Lol.

I adopted a 2, 5 year old cat and he is now trained to walk with the harness on. Though he goes his own way and with the treats I have he does not listen outside to any commands like me calling his name. Is there a way to train my cat to walk beside me and make him more responsive to my commands? We do clicker training inside once a day for about 5 mins and then he listens a lot better(sometimes still slow in response)

[alishabains]

What is your opinion on the H harness for a 5 month bengal cat? It’s the harness with the two hole for the front two feet of the cat.

[chinsanity]

So is no harness escape proof? Because if my cat backs up they seem to escape every harness I’ve bought (like a dozen at this point)

[Enlightenment]

I have a good harness but he just drops down and goes crazy on the the floor when l put it on. I have a Bengal but adopted him at 3 and a half years. He wants to go outside but he can’t because he will get knocked over or eaten by a wild animal.

[mandyvankroon]

Does mia always listen to their name? My kitten only listen when she feels like it. She is 10 weeks and the harness and leash training is going so easily, but im afraid to go outside because she doesn’t always listen to her name when something else got her interest

[Marquise]

She stays in harness as puee curtesy to you. Because she loves you.

[martinvano]

I put two harneses on my cat and still wondering if that is enough :-)
