How NOT to Lose Your Cat 

My cat loves her stroller❤! My neighbors did laugh at first but now several have them and others wish they did.

You are spot on about the training. We moved to a gated community in Ecuador this past March, and began taking our (formerly indoor) cats outside for 15 minute walks each day on a harness. On two occasions, they've each gotten spooked by something and wriggled out of their harnesses. In both situations, they bolted right for our front door--even though we were a few houses away. You're also right about the whining to go out. It starts every morning around 11 AM and doesn't end until we take them out. But, its worth it.

Great program on familiarization! The stroller idea is good but you're right about the limitations. They can't check or leave scents around their property. Certainly good for the meet and greet with neighbours 💖💕

Our cats did not like backpacks. But some did a harness OK for short local jaunts and the stroller seems OK. We think cat enclosures are super idea! Want to try building one ouselves to save $$. 😊 Cheers!

I would love to walk my cat. I tried a harness and I was almost shredded to death. 😂😂😂😂 There was no way he was letting me put it on him. Catio is what I have been able to do.

My cats have a catio & love it. One of them is very smart and needs more stimulation. I bought her a harness, but I'm afraid to use it for reasons that you mention. Great video! 😺

Extremely helpful and corroborating most of my experience.

Good ideas. I'm not sure if my cats would take to a harness. Please consider doing a video of what to do if your cat gets out. We were lucky our cat came home on his own after about 24 hours. I left the door open, the same door he escaped from, and he was on the windowsill next to our bed acting like nothing had happened! He was hungry and we later found a bite mark on his tail. You can't imagine the relief I felt!

I live in an apartment, so a catio isnt an option. I tried the harness with both of my cats but it failed epically because there are too many large breed dogs around. My solution is a large wire mesh dog crate 3ft long x 2ft wide 2 ft high -- its not purrfect but its better than nothing. I put a carpet mat on the plastic floor tray, a bedsheet across the top so the cats feel like they are hiding and not exposed to hawks above, plants along one side so they think they are hiding in a garden, and I stay outside with them (never unattended). Would love to do the window balcony but the window screens arent removable. Regardless, I'm still looking forward to the balcony video. 👋
