My 8 month old kitten has really wanted to go outside. I will not let him go outside without supervision. So I decided to get him a harness and a leash. I put the harness on him inside the house to let him get use to it. At first he didn't like it, but after a while (hour or two) he seemed to accept it. Then I tried to put the leash on him. I had purchased one of those retractable ones that usually are for dogs, but I liked the fact that the leash could be extended to16 feet. As soon as I clicked the leash onto the harness, my kitten went beserk running frantically through the house until I could catch him and remove the leash and harness. He was very upset but I managed to calm him down. I waited until the next day, put the harness on him again. No problem with the harness on him. Again, after about an hour or so, I put the leash on and again, he went ballistic running through the house. Once I caught him, I removed the leash and calmed him down. I have not tried to put it on him again. Does anyone have any ideas why he would react this way to having the leash put on him? He didn't seem to mind the harness, only the leash. Sue He doesn't like it, Sue. That's all there is to it. Probably akin to some type of phobia. We took ours to the beach on one of those things. My wife thought he would "like the birds." He never even looked at them. Even when the seagulls came right in to attack him! He just twisted and spun against it, and tried and tried to get into his kat karrier. That told me all I needed to know, so I went ahead and put an end to the wife's family beach-blanket folly. IBen |

The thought of anyone being married to Iben is frightening. He also doesn't

Well maybe he has just a 14 year old's mentality? Unless Iben is prepared to
flash his ID we'll never know. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Diane L.
