Is that normal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery common the first few times. Let your cat wear the harness indoors for a few minutes a day with treats and play, then add the leash inside before you try the yard. Most cats walk normally after a few short sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for kittens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Size S is designed for kittens and small cats up to about 4.4 lb. Check the fit every couple of weeks, because kittens grow fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I attach the leash to a car seat belt or a tie-out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harness is made for walking with a person holding the leash. Never leave a cat tied out alone, and use a carrier for car journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-wash in cool water with a mild soap, press out the water and let it air-dry flat.
