Here's the link to get his harness ----- www.amazon.com/shop/jjyosh
*Always annoyed with our cat and **Trainr.pet** this got me fed up on kicking it out. But what saved it from that was when my mom told us what to do with this program when she brought it up. I must say, they are the coolest ever!*
*insert dark text here*
I’m going hiking for a week this summer with an elderly cat who isn’t used to hiking and a lab puppy. It’ll be a challenge, and that’s why I’m looking into things this early. I really hope it works out, or I’ll have to leave my little Harry at home which I hope it doesn’t come to, since he gets very lonely and is very attached to his family. Will have to look into rucksacks in case he gets tired, as well as something for the puppy. Labs have very sensitive hips, so I don’t want the little guy to walk too much!
I'm hoping to get my little girl out on the trail this summer also. Her regular backpack is rather large, so I'm not sure that I'll be able to take that with me along with my backpack full of our stuff for travel (food, litter box, kitty dishes, litter scoop, etc). Hopefully the smaller one that I used for her when she was tiny will do the trick... she does get into it at home once in a while to doze, so I'm hoping she'll be ok to ride in it when she either needs a break or when something scares her and I need to keep her secure.
@@winterlightstudios4340how was it?
Thank you for sharing! I also have a black cat ❤️
What is his/her name? :))
Simon is very calm and docile.
When you started talking to your cat you sounded like miss piggy. lol. Cute. This video was super entertaining. I almost peed myself laughing at your chats with your cat.
When you get aah sorry.. When a cat gets you the first thing you should do is get them used to a harness. SUPER EASY when they are kittens and they will grow up thinking it's normal. Avoids the high percentage of cats instantly falling onto their sides and turning into ankors. Also you should give them baths or rather in between baths get them used to playing in a few inches of water with toys or actual fish to play with.
Just remember when they start knocking glasses of water over you technically trained them to do that........ If you have a fish tank make sure the top is on tight because see previous statement.....
Train them to stop walking by commands as well as return to you. Might as well get a subscription for Temptation treats (kitty crack) It helps IMMENSELY speed up the training. Just don't give them too many all the time. Oh. And store the container in another container then lock it in a safe. THEY WILL find the box and utterly destroy it to get the treats.. If not you will come home one day and find a torn up plastic tub of Temptations and a cat laying on it's side next to the empty tub with a look on their face like when you woke up the next day after a serious party of beer pong, shots and (error 404 file not found) no memory of what you did but you moaned never again.. Never ever again.. Oh my head... Guess how I know what happens....... No idea how she at all the treats with a volume bigger then her whole body.
Teaching a cat to walk on a leash and play in water is so worth the first time you take them to the beach. Well once you deal with the whole I know it looks the same only way bigger but the beach is NOT your dream litter box...........
Be ready for a long and VERY slow walk as just about every girl on the beach will walk up OHHH that's so cute!!!! It once took me 3 hours to wall half a mile.. Walk 20 feet Ohh that's so cute.. stop.. Walk Ohh that's so cute.. stop.. Start walking again. Stop. OHHH that's so cute!
A retractable leash is a must have. Aside from letting the cat explore a bit on a longer line you can fish with your cat Cast your cat out with a whoosh then reel em back in click click click click.. Caught yet another bikinus hotis species......
when i got my kitten i started with a collar, and i put sweaters( literally just a fuzzy sock i cut) on him to get him used to having that feeling on his body. but i took it off when he started grooming and was trying to lick where the sqeater was. doing this process many times a week.
Finally. She dose not run away from me!! Thanks :)
Love cats. Reminds me of Bob The Cat. RIP Bob !.
I swear you have the cutest baby talk
Sounds like Mickey Mouse
Thanks for the help. I wanna take my cat on hikes 😃
I think I might have accidentally trained her to balance on my back 😹 she loves being carried over the shoulder everywhere and she'll just stand on my shoulder whenever she wants to jump off (even if I'm standing straight!)
My little girl got into hanging out on my shoulder when she was a kitten, and just kept doing it as she grew up. Fortunately she's still quite petite, but unfortunately her claws seem to be even sharper now than when she was growing up.
Mines super mellow and does it OFF LEASH. I have a cat backpack and he has a harness and Tractive LTE gps tracker on his harness. The leash just got super annoying and he never runs away his safe space is in his backpack!!! He’s good in hotel rooms and long car rides (we live in northern British Columbia 😙) I used a leash for his kitten hood but he’s a big flame point Siamese boy now and hated the leash
My cat can't calm like that lmao..everytime he just purring with me and show her fluffy tail and want me to pet her..following me everywhere
Dude. I finally found you! Love n Respect from the Pacific Northwest 🙌
Thanks for sharing tips very helpful
No problem, I want all of you to have adventurous cats like Simon :)) Do you have any questions about your own cat?
if the harness is loose though, wouldn’t the cat be able to slip out? that’s what happened to our cat and she was lost for almost a week. it was horrible
So cute!! 💚💚💚🐾🐾🐾🐱🐱🐱
Is he your favorite cat on UA-cam? ;))
@@jjyoshtv he sure is!!! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
6:50 Since he was spooked and ran off will he calm down and come back to you or do you have to track him to get him back since he'd want to stay out in the wild for good by hiding?
My cat legit fights so much. He’s a sweetheart but he really like to have control of his body. Had him for almost 2 years now and he’s never liked to be held more than 5 seconds lol. Having trouble with the harness as well.
I'm wanting to take my cat on the appalachian trail. She is harness trained, she just lays down if she feels a tug on the leash. I wear her in a baby carrier. But the added weight of taking a cat and their gear and food... my cat was declawed by a previous owner so the backpacking cat isn't going to work with my cat. She can't use claws to balance so she rarely climbs on anything. She is super attached to me so I gotta bring her. Can't leave her behind. She would be traumatized.
I worry about her need for a litterbox. If I lock her in a tent with me at night so she doesn't run off, she needs a box. The other alternative I've actually seen people letting their cat roam free outside at night but I can't put her at risk like that. So I gotta figure out a litterbox option.
Awesome vid! Are there any more resources you recommend? I just adopted a kitty and live in the mountain area and really want to start hiking with our new family member. Should we wait? He's a month and a half old.
Woo woo I Just want to tell you and Simon that I love what you guys do and the especially you have and a Bard with your cat there is nothing More special than having a bond with your cat or dog you guys touched my heart and so did Simon Simon is a angel sent from above and hes so adorable I look forward to watching you and ticktock and also more on Amazon please give me a shout out PS my cat Luna has a crush on Simon she watches your UA-cam videos With me all the time
Thanks Dorothy!!! I bet Simon and Luna would be best friends ;)) Have you seen all our new videos on how to train your cat?
I’m watching your live right now
i’m so ready to get my cat out onto trails. she’s only 3 months old so i’m gonna wait until she’s a little older so she can take flea medication before I take her out. she’s 4 pounds!! so tiny 🥰 i’ve tried to take my other cat out before, but she’s a total couch potato and hated the harness. this kitten is so active and always tries to get into things she knows she’s not allowed to. i wonder if a harness would help her out
How has it gone with taking your cat hiking? My cat is older but I think if he can get used to the leash and harness that he would love it.
Bruh your voice the moment you talked to simon killed me
How do you know when he needs to use the bathroom?My cat is leash and back pack trained, but I have yet to take him on a long trip.
Great content
I really love this video I have a 2 years old male orange tabby and I interested in buy your cat harness,please tell me the brand so I can get it on Amazon thanks 😀
I don’t have a cat :( but maybe I’ll adopt one once I’m older. I’m not officially 18 yet. I am 14. I just watch your UA-cam and TikTok!
I understand Todd! We are happy to have you here :)) What kind of cat would you adopt if you could?
JJ YOSH / BACKPACKING KITTY I’m thinking 2. One as a Ginger cat, and A B&W (black and white) cat too. I see a B&W cat almost everyday. I call her “Oreo”
I can upload a video about Oreo if you want!
@@toddscarslife1134 Hi! I remember really wanting a cat growing up. Until I was 11 and my parents adopted a cat, Karma. I used to tell him "you are my dream" cause my dream had always been having a kitty! Now I am 29, Karma is 19. He is living at my parent's house and three years ago I adopted two more cats to live with me at my place . I love cats!! Time will come Todd! And you'll love them =D
I find that bugging my parents until they say yes! (I’m 15) for instance, I’ve been asking my mkm for a cat since august! She said yes yesterday!
Hi guys! What size is Simons harness?
Anyone else watching this video Jjyosh and Simon?
How do you train a cat to like water? Or can you even do that?
My cat freaks out just going out on the porch. So your videos are inspiring. Any thoughts to get braver??
Your cat might be too overstimulated or might not be cut out for walks. You should watch Jackson Galaxy's video on walking your cat because he talks about how not every cat is suited to go out.
He is not type of cat to wanna go out just keep him inside remember its for the cat not you.
@@starfire139 yes! He has really helped me but so have "Albert and Mia, the Adventure Bengal Cat" you should go and check them out too!
Howdy JJ, your link for Simon’s harness is not working. Can you please send me the deets or a new link?
Thanks, just adopted black kitty I’ve named Percy and he will also be an adventure cat. Thanks. 🙏
My cat is a behemoth at 18 pounds, he grew out of a thinner harness he hated and I had to get a small dog harness for him 😭 he loves it tho
I have a three month old male here. His name is Phineas and he’s ready for adventures.. anything you could recommend at this age for him would be greatly appreciated.
Hey! Quick question. My cats don’t like being picked up or staying still for stuff like putting on a harness so is there a way I can train them to stay still for that and get used to getting picked up and stuff?
Your cat(s) have to feel safe around you and trust your hold enough to be held. Maybe you haven't had them for long...? Playing with them more often can help build your bond.
yeah got my little orange guy 5-6 months ago tiny little critter and i worked a 5pm - 1am shift and he would have to be alone for all these hours and i would pick him up every time i got home and he is used to now he is grown up more
@@illustryfe5354 my cat loves me, trusts me with every inch of his little body but as soon as i pick him up it triggers his fight or flight. So... some cats just dont like it lol
Hey! So I’ve been working with my cat on staying still for the harness part- I give him tiny pieces of treats to lure him forward (he is food motivated), and it’s been a couple of weeks and he’s finally getting the idea that once the harness is on, he gets a treat. Just be patient :). There’s lots of articles that can help you out with harness training.
Dude, you are literally my Idol, thx for posting vids ✌️
I can’t find that harness on your list do you think they discontinued it? I only see harness for dogs.
EXACTLY! its a dog harness
My cat is 8 months, will this still work with him?
DUDE WHATS A GOOD HARNESS FOR A CAT UNDER 1 YEAR/4-8 MO
I just subscribed
Que gatinho lindo.😻🙀💕💞💓💗❣💕💞
Sweet kitty is barely tolerating this demo...😀
Amo a tu gato se parece mucho al mio solo que el mio es esponjoso
why do you make knots on your leash? does it help?
If I had to guess it’s probably to make it easier to grip
I can’t see the link for the harness.

JJ YOSH / BACKPACKING KITTY thank you!
JJ YOSH / BACKPACKING KITTY what size harness does Simon wear? Small?
Live video was fun
My cat loves messing with ponds of water and Is very curious of my fish tank, so I want to take him fishing
A worm or a specialist lure will probably work better.
@@NaziHampster nah, I'm throwing him in the water
@@jcnopal1740 You know they're not fond of that. It could be a cat-astrophe.
Can you train an adult cat who can go outside on its ow to walk on a harness? I want to go on walks with my cat but he loves going in the yard so much!
No you need to start when they’re kittens. You’re too late
@@premiumaccount4166 Of curse they still can learn it. It just takes longer.
You deffinetley can! It may take a bit longer then kittens but it will still work
What’s considered a older cat?
My Nutmeg is harness trained but has a mind of his own. LOL
Luckily my cat goes on walks with me without a leash
Well why are you here? You show off…please make way for those of us who are struggling with our cats not wanting to be dogs.
@@trinitysorganics2260 Nobody is stopping you, I’m just saying what my cat does, why does that offend you?
Reddz Jagulus I was just joking lol not offended at all…. Secretly jealous 🥹
@@trinitysorganics2260 well atm I can’t say I’m the happiest either cause he has been missing for 3 months😢 his name is Salem
What breed or type of cat is he? He is sooooo calm.
the best kind
The breed type is called Bombay
@@kayleeb2310 i thought bombays were female
Hello, I would like to know what type of bag you use with your cat
Hey Ange, I use a few different hiking backpacks, but they all assure that Simon has somewhere to get support from when he is up on my shoulders! Does that help? :))
@@jjyoshtv bc ouuu
Thanks for helping us! We love you
4:13
Lol cool
Did you get some good information from my video Mae ;))
Hi
my cat does he's territory walk with me around the block I have a cat back pac bag (weather proof ) he wants it on my back wet days
your cats personality is part dog using voice tone to communicate
I put a leash on my cat but she played with it what should I do to make her not play with it?
Noga Feld same
Hey it's Mickey in 3d
You two are such an amazing team :) but please don’t trim your cats nails they need them :)
My cat is 4 years old
Can you guess how old Simon is?;))
Mine just won't to walk with it on
I just got a kitten and I’m slowly training her to be a fishing partner
Hey I was in your tik tok live amera_cats I'm on my aunties phone btw
Hey Lisa thanks for joining us :)) What do you want to see us do on Live next?
Maybe you can teach simon how to dance or wear one of his costumes
Are their other dog free places like graveyards to take a cat
What breed is your cat?
Hi JJYOSH, & Simon. Interesting Video, Thank You.
God Bless. 🐾
Thanks Judy!! How has your week been? ;)
@@jjyoshtv Fine, Thank You. You & Simon,
Have A Blessed Day, & Stay Safe.
God Bless. 🐾
I have a 10 month old cat is that considered a little kitten??
Yes. Until 13 months old
sounds like mickey
Do they hold the pee and poo outdoors?
I finally have a cat willing to wear clothes!!!!
That 1 dislike is from someone who is just jealous
my daghter was at the bathroom crying cause she was scard of matha now shes frends whith are cat
It’s actually really dangerous to leave a harness on an unsupervised cat
BlueBell Collective I completely agree, they should be in the same room as the owner, the cat should have the harness on a lot when they first start training though.
There are harnesses specifically made for cats that release if the kitty gets caught on something.. you could probably keep the cat safe harness on unsupervised just to get them used to it, and then switch to the walking one when you go out. (:
I agree. 24 hours is really unnecessary. If you put the harness on for just 10 Minutes everyday they will get used to it in like a week too.
Simon is beautifull
Activate baby voice while talking to kitty.
I subscribe u
꼬미의 고양이채널 huh?
Thank you so much! Do you like my cat videos lol? ;))
Step 1: Bring a cat carrier and expect to carry your cat most of the time.
Sweeeetttttt
i wanted to train my cat but nah I think it’s kinda fucked up now
Your cat is exactly my cat
Do you have a beautiful Bombay like Simon? :))
... I guess it’s too late for my fat, lazy, 6 year old cat 😂😂
It’s not too late! I just took my fat lazy 6 year old cat out this weekend and he surprised me😊🤣
@@marystrong6451 I will consider it
mickey mouse voice lol
i appreciate the intent of the video but not the handling of the cat throughout the video. for instance why was he forced to stay on the table for no reason for the first how many ever minutes before he was used for any sort of demonstration? he was treated more like an object and less like a beloved family member throughout and it really bothered me
he wasn’t forcing him to stay there, the cat was just chilling. my cat loves just being around ppl and will just sit in our general area for the sake of having company
@@xxmizzevaxx the cat tried to leave or move several times and was repositioned. we’ll just have to disagree.
I thought the same. I feel sad for the cat now. Felt more like a toy and not a Friend of him
It a a bit painful to watch how you are handeling that cat. He is swishing his tail, his ears are tightend and his stiff body language clearly indicates that he is not happy but tolerating. I get it that you are focussed on the camera - but it would make a much better impression if you could be bothered to notice what is going on with Simon. Also to get him on your back, you could clicker train him to go up there by himself - it will make him much less annoyed.
Only me who came from tiktok?
This is helping me a lot with my cat if you want to see him you can check out my TikTok @Princesskrj
I feel that your cat is scared AF, like you control it too hard.. creeped me out sry dude
he just sits there like 😞
Feel like this guy is treating his cat like an accessory for him to drag around instead of a domestic cat
a harness on 24/7 can make it hard for them to self groom
