    I saw someone at my local park (small town, btw) take their pet OTTER on a leashed walk. So this is totally doable.😂

    My cat took a couple of weeks to get used to the harness. I made him wear it almost everyday for about 15 minutes each day. I haven't got him outdoors. Unfortunately, he is quite scared of what's going on out the door. So, for now he enjoys the balcony and gets used to the street's noises :) As you said... ALL CATS ARE DIFFERENT.

    I got an 'H' harness for my kitten about a week or two ago, She's about 5 months old and loves being outside.When she wants to go outside I put her on the table and she just calmly sits and waits for me to put it on,I'm about to start teaching her to walk with a leash on,Hopefully that goes well too!
    Just shows how much kittens can learn in a week or two!

    I got my kitten a blue harness today , he was kinda scared at first but soon just sat down and enjoyed some ear scratches and he then walked around , trying to work on the walking progress , I think he will do great :3

    I've always walked my Maine Coons on a leash. I never saw any big deal about the harness. Just put it on him and leave it on. He'll get use to it.
    As far as actually getting him to walk on the leash, it's easy, especially with a kitten. Just hook on the leash and open the door! As long as he associates the walk outside with fun, you'll have no problem walking him.

    My car was part main coon. She has a great personality. I always took her out she was okay right away.
    She loved it. She would purr as I was putting the harness on her. Very smart.

    I've been trying to trianing my 12 week old kitten Loki for about two months now. We go out all most every day. The only problem I having is getting him to walk with me/beside me. He often runs to climb a tree, chase something or play in a grassy field. He lays down, stops and go when he wants to. I don't pull on the leash to make him go. I've tryed treats and use a clicker when he meets people. It worked for meeting people and he often wants to say hi. However I want him to be able to go to the mailbox with me without having to carry him or it taking half an hour. How do I get him to walk beside me when I need him to when the treats aren't working? I live in a one bedroom apartment so space to practice inside is extremely limited.

    Hi! Great video, really helpful! If you're taking your cats outside, what kind of vaccines/oils do they need? Thanks! :)
    Also, do your cats ever try to run outside because they're used to the outdoors from walks?

    • @lifewithmainecooncats
      @lifewithmainecooncats  4 роки тому +3

      Thanks! It's best to talk with your vet about what vaccines or oils your cat needs because every cat is different. Our cats never try to run outside.

    Really enjoy watching the development of the respective cats. As a multi-cat household, you must have a wealth of experience to share with raising your cats so the last couple of videos with Luna have been really instructive. Whilst the product reviews are great, this is a welcome direction for the channel.

      @lifewithmainecooncats  3 роки тому +2

      Be very cautious with dogs. We never let our cats down at the park if there are dogs nearby. And one of us always stands guard for dogs. Usually dogs should be leashed at a public park but there are always ones that are loose so be very careful.

    When you’re walking your cat on a leesh and you see a someone walking their dog coming your direction on the footpath, do you advise walking the other way or another direction?

    • @lifewithmainecooncats
      @lifewithmainecooncats  3 роки тому +8

      Yes! We usually don’t put our cats down on the ground if there’s a dog nearby. We pick them up until the dog is out of sight. It’s just too risky and you never know if the dog can run over without you noticing. That’s why we usually only bring one or two cats at a time to the park. Safety first!!

    • @ducks1321
      @ducks1321 Рік тому

      Yes you can take it off when they sleep, it’s up to you how long you keep it on for but even 15 minutes maybe twice a day for a month should get them used to it :) depends on your cat but they don’t need to sleep with it :)

But the problem with training them at the same time is they each learn and want to explore at different speeds but they also get really stressed when they are separated. So i am trying to train them at the same time but it's difficult.. any tips?
