How it Works
We’ve designed the Easy Walk™Cat Harness & Lead to help enrich your
cat’s life with the sights, sounds and smells of a safe outdoor experience.
It allows you to share enjoyable walks, exercise, and playtime outside
your home. More quality time together leads to a deeper, more fulfilling
relationship for both you and your cat!
The Easy Walk™Cat Harness & Lead gives you gentle, comfortable control
of your cat or kitten, while allowing her to explore the world outside your
door. The patent pending design allows for a gentle pressure on the lead
to cradle your cat, thus, restraining any forward motion without putting
pressure on the delicate throat area. The cradling effect is calming to most
cats, providing safe and easy control for you. The adjustable sternum slide
allows you to create a custom fit for your cat’s body type, while the dual
adjustment points on the girth strap allow a snug, safe fit. The shoulder
straps glide through the two D-rings on the back, allowing an increase
of tension (when needed) to restrain your cat without choking. The lead
provides a little extra “give” to soften the effect of kitty reaching the end
of the lead.
_________________________________________________________________
“Enriched environments, including play and mental stimulations, are key
to a low-stress life. Many feline behaviours about which clients complain
are usually associated with lack of mental and physical stimulations, or
with fear or anxiety, making them largely preventable. Enriching the cat’s
environment and providing consistency in their routines prevents many of
these problems.”

Before You Begin
This will be a learning process for your cat, as you help her accept the
harness and learn to walk with the lead. Kittens will adjust most easily to
the sensation of the harness. An older cat may require more time to get
used to the feeling of her “new clothes.” It may be best to divide the tting
and acclimation process into several short sessions to keep the encounter
positive. Try to end each session on a pleasant note, and remove the
harness when your cat is calm. If you sense your cat’s reaction is on the
verge of escalating, do not prolong the session, as it may make the next
one more difcult!
•If your cat is sensitive to handling or becomes anxious when
encountering new things, use treats, food, petting, brushing, or a
favorite toy to make the fitting experience a pleasant one.
•Choose a quiet time and a quiet room indoors without distractions for
either you or your cat.
•Reassure kitty with a calm voice and gentle petting in areas that she likes.
•Do not scold or yell, do not force, and never hit your cat. Your cat must
feel safe in the situation or she will be unable to learn from the experience.
•Schedule whatever kitty enjoys – mealtime, playtime, petting and
brushing, or catnip fests – to happen when she is wearing the harness.
This helps her associate the harness with good things!
Properly fitted, the harness will be very comfortable and safe
for your cat. Remember that any new clothing or equipment –
shoes, eyeglasses, contacts, or braces – may feel unusual at
first, but we acclimate to them in a short period of time. Do not
let an initial reaction from your cat discourage you. Keep in
mind the long-term goal of enriching your cat’s life by giving
her broader daily experiences.

legs and side girth straps
behind front legs. Snap in
place. (Repeat steps 3 and 4
as necessary until fit is snug.)

Step
8
Move the sternum
slide to sit just
below the cat’s
breastbone so
that it will not
ride up to the
cat’s throat area.
Re-snap the girth
straps into place.
Position the black rubber stopper
near the lead connector to keep
the shoulder straps in place.
Check to see that tightening
the lead does not result in the
sternum slide riding up too high,
putting pressure on the trachea.
If it does, adjust the sternum slide
to sit lower on the cat’s chest.
