Thread: Training Maine coons on a leash?

I am not sure people need to obsess so much about pressure from a harness. As I have written previously in this thread, we had a MC mix that we took in and then allowed to go out on a rope system, wearing a standard cat harness (which I posted a link to much earlier in this thread). He spent 12-16 hours per day outside every day for four years wearing the harness, attached to clothesline. He spent literally thousands of hours this way. The only problems were some matting around chest and under front legs where harness touched. This can be taken care of with a bit of brushing (if the cat is receptive).
