3654.0. "Harness" by FRAGLE::PELUSO (PAINTS; color your corral) Wed May 30 1990 14:35

    The note on camping and kitties has brought to mind a topic
    I'd like to discuss:  Harness and their effectivness.
    
    I know there are several noters who use harnesses and/or leashes
    for their kitties.  What I am interested in is, can they escape?  If
    not what type do you use.  Are you afraid of them getting hung up on their 
    own accord (supervised of course)?   Any other comments?

    Michelle - we use two types of harnesses.  One is the figure 8 harnes
    and the other has a strap that goes around the neck, one around the 
    body and one connecting the two loops along the back.  We deliberately
    put the harnesses on a little loosely - tight enough so it stays in
    place, but loose enough so the cat can escape if necessary.  Mao
    climbs trees, for example, and has managed to slip the harness after
    becomming entangled in the tree.  I'm usually right there, but
    this particular day I had run upstairs for something.  Learned my
    lesson, I did.
