Position the rubber stopper to keep the shoulder straps in place.

Important: This harness should not be worn while not in use.


Acclimation

Note: The acclimation process can take up to a few days.

Begin acclimating your cat indoors with short walks around your home.

Offer praise and treats when your cat walks calmly besides you.

Never yank or jerk on the leash.

Allow your cat to explore at her own pace.

Prior to going outside, check your surroundings to make sure there are no free-ranging cats or dogs in the area. Beware of hot sidewalks or driveways, broken glass, unidentified debris, etc.

Watch for signs of irritation such of flicking the tail, hunched back, and general signs of discomfort. Allow your cat breaks if these signs are shown.
