Hello,
I adopted a healthy 9yr old Kenzo this week (a lady cat). She is very obedient and already very affectionate and bonded to me. She is "not used to other cats" but has been allowed out at times in her old home, according to the rescue centre. She is getting vaccinated.
I'm thinking of taking her out on a lead when she's been in the house the requisite 3-4wks. There are a couple of other cats in the area. Then, depending on how she gets on, think about allowing her free access. (Although I do feel very protective of her!!!)
I have already bought a cat harness from Pets at Home and placed it near her food bowl so she gets used to its sight/smell.
She is going to the vet on Tuesday for an initial check up etc - should I have a go at putting the harness on, just round the house, or should I let the vet have the first go at putting it on her as he will be more confident? She might associate it then thought with being nervous at the vets.
Any thoughts/advice/experience welcome, thanks!

Does anyone walk their cat like a dog on a lead?
