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 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.”

American Association of Feline Practitioners

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 fitting
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 difficult!
• 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!
Tip 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.

Fitting the Harness
The girth strap consists of one color of nylon, with two quick-snap buckles
and slide adjustments for a snug fit. The contrasting color comprises
the shoulder piece and lead attachment, and feeds through the unique
sternum slide hardware.
1. Connect lead to lead connector (1A).
1. Move sternum slide down to make the
opening large enough for the cat’s
head.
2. Slide shoulder straps on either side of
cat’s head with lead connector over the
withers/back (2A).

2. 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
(5B).
3. Re-snap the girth straps into
place.
1. Position the black rubber
stopper near the lead
connector to keep the
shoulder straps in place (6A).
2. Check to see that tightening
the lead does not result in the
sternum slide riding up too
high, putting pressure on the
trachea.
3. If it does, adjust the sternum
slide to sit lower on the cat’s
chest.

Using the Harness
We recommend you acclimate your cat to the harness indoors – with lots
of praise, petting, and play – before going outside. Use a gentle increase
of tension to encourage your cat not to strain against the lead. Apply
tension if your cat pulls away from you. Release tension when she is calm.
Your goal is to walk without tension, using a loose lead. Give rewards of
treats, toys, or petting when your cat walks calmly or remains at your side.
Never jerk or yank on the lead. Praise your cat for calm interactions and
ignore unwanted behaviours.
The acclimation process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few
days, or sometimes longer. But before too long, your kitty will almost
certainly find that the opportunity for a stroll outside is very rewarding
indeed! Bear in mind that for some cats who have rarely been outdoors,
the experience might be a bit overwhelming at first. Allow her time to
move slowly, to look around, and to feel safe. Rather than drag her in a
specific direction, allow her the chance to explore at her own pace. In the
beginning, brief trips outdoors may be best.
You may want to begin near your house door or along a hedge or planted
area, rather than in the middle of an open yard. Your cat will likely feel
more comfortable and less “exposed” if she feels there is safe shelter
nearby. If she insists on trying to duck into or under things, gently guide her
or pick her up, move her a short distance away, and remember to offer
rewards. If your cat is feeling stressed, she’s unlikely to prefer treats, so use
petting, feather toys, string to chase, etc.
Once your cat is comfortable with the harness and lead and you have had
successful outdoor time, you may choose to use a longer lead (3 m - 4.5
m light, flat lead) to allow your cat a greater range within a safe area.
(Imagine a lovely picnic on the lawn with your kitty able to explore a wide
circle around you.)

General Training Tips
Cats have an undeserved reputation for being difficult to train. Two factors
play into this:
• Because most people make this assumption, they make little or no
effort to train or socialize their cats. When someone gets a new puppy,
they usually can’t wait to take him out and about to introduce him to
all the wonders of the world. However, when people get a new kitten,
most do not even consider giving her the same opportunities.
• Unfortunately, most people are unaware that kittens have an earlier
“easy learning window” than puppies and miss out on this wonderful
growth stage. The truth is that most cats are not given enough novel
experiences and learning opportunities in kittenhood to prepare
them to respond happily to new experiences and interactions with
humans. This can result in adult cats who are frightened, confused or
de-motivated by new things. Unfortunately, those cats often remain
housebound.
Kittens learn about social interactions and form opinions about their world
very early. Age 3 to 8 weeks is the optimal time for kittens to develop
social skills with other cats and people. Gentle handling by a variety of
people, including children, brushing and tender examination of body parts
are all very beneficial.
From 9 to 16 weeks, your kitten continues to learn how to interact with her
world. Social play is very important in this stage. It’s also the right time to
give your kitten numerous chances to experience safe, new places and fun
experiences. These good encounters literally create “learning pathways”
in the brain, which ensures that your cat will continue to easily accept new
things in the future.
Starting at 6 to 8 weeks, and continuing through 16 weeks of age is the
perfect time to introduce your kitten to outdoor fun using the Easy Walk™
Cat Harness & Lead. If your cat is in this age range, congratulations!
If your cat is older, do not despair! In fact, many cats do not join their new
families until they are well past kitten hood. After 4 months of age, your

cat can still learn to truly enjoy new experiences, but the process usually
requires a little more patience. It’s important that the entire procedure
includes happy associations with things that your cat loves or enjoys in
order to be most successful. With a little bit of planning, you can introduce
your cat to a wonderful variety of safe and pleasant experiences – and
the Easy Walk™ Cat Harness & Lead will make it easy and fun for both
ofyou.

Fonctionnement du harnais
Nous avons conçu le harnais et la laisse pour chat Easy Walk™afin de
vous aider à enrichir la vie de votre chat en lui permettant de profiter en
toute sécurité des images, des sons et des odeurs accessibles lors d’une
sortie à l’extérieur. Ils vous permettent de partager d’agréables moments
de promenade, d’exercices et de jeux à l’extérieur. Le fait de passer
plus de temps de qualité ensemble aboutit à une relation plus forte et
enrichissante pour vous et votre chat !
Le harnais et la laisse pour chat Easy Walk™vous offrent la possibilité
de contrôler votre chat ou chaton en douceur et sans risque, tout en
lui permettant d’explorer le monde extérieur. Le design, avec brevet
déposé, permet par une légère tension sur la laisse de tenir délicatement
votre chat, empêchant ainsi tout mouvement vers l’avant sans exercer de
pression sur la zone délicate du cou. Cette légère tension a pour effet de
calmer la plupart des chats et vous permet de le contrôler facilement et
sans risque. La sangle sternale vous garantit un ajustement sur mesure,
alors que les deux points de réglage sur la sangle de poitrail permettent
un ajustement parfait en toute sécurité. Les sangles d’épaule se glissent
dans les deux anneaux en D situés sur le dos et permettent d’augmenter la
tension (si besoin) pour retenir votre chat sans l’étouffer. La laisse donne un
peu de jeu supplémentaire pour adoucir l’effet lorsque le chat arrive à la
fin de la laisse.
« Les environnements riches comportant des jeux et des stimulations
mentales sont essentiels à une vie peu stressante. Nombre de
comportements félins dont se plaignent les clients sont en général associés
à un manque de stimulations physiques et mentales, ou à de la peur et
de l’anxiété, ce qui les rend largement évitables. Un enrichissement de
l’environnement du chat et l’apport de régularité dans leurs habitudes
préviennent nombre de ces problèmes. »
Recommandations sur le comportement des félins de
American Association of Feline Practitioners (l’Association
américaine des praticiens félins)
