This is the harness we use: amzn.to/3m0T0qM

[@halaismail8734]

Sorry but the perfect one its not exist anymore.. Would you please post it again if you find it, i was trying to find that harness and already bought one, but the reviews were bad and not safe. So please would you post again link for that harness( save proof harness)

[@deepalall647]

Mia is a perfect cat model. Please tell her she's gorgeous ❤

[@sayankeynan8449]

how is he supposed to tell her 🙃

[@ronharris965]

Your accent is hard to pick up the names of the harnesses

[@punkbeluga5091]

I am getting a cat soon and I always wanted a traveling companion so Im just watching carefully ALL your vids, thank you so much :3

[@miss.scales7159]

My 3 cats all have different harnesses, based on their preference/ease of movement. Freya: basic H-type (like the explorer one) Merlin: step-in harness (with velcro strap and safety buckle on back) PK: head-through harness (like the red one shown at 7:55). Though I am trying other/similar ones on him as well, for greater security.

[@OutdoorBengal]

Wow! That's dedication! Each cat with the harness that suits them best! CONGRATS!

[@ranakonswa2169]

Hey , which one of the three is the most escape proof ?

[@loretta_3843]

Mia is just so precious when you're putting the harnesses on her!😘😸

[@smallestviolinplayin]

Such a beautiful bengal! We've been looking for the right kind of harness for our cats that won't allow them to escape & it's been a struggle due to paid reviews, things like that...Thank you for unbiased opinions & awesome explanations to back up the opinions! This has helped a bunch!!

[@bettyboop1524]

I just purchased the Come With Me Kitty harness for my 14# boy. He had no issue with me putting it on. First wearing the harness was loose and I will gradually fit it to him. He walked easily when I tossed treats in front of him. I think this is a really quality harness at a reasonable price. If you are thinking about real hiking this probably wouldn't work, but for me and my cat it's a win.

[@c.wildin1575]

My Miles is learning to walk on a leash and he’s doing very well. Your videos help me a lot for extra tips!! I’m glad I’m not crazy for wanting my cat to be an adventurous one. Thank you for your amazing work. I’ll be listening carefully :)

[@BasenjiAdventures]

I found your channel from your #Shorts video introducing her. She is gorgeous, and I love how healing and therapeutic she was for you. Our two Basenji’s are very catlike, and are also very good for us. We love to show them off when we take them out as well. I’m happy to subscribe to your channel and support you!

[@mariepython5801]

I would add that cats have a very sensitive fur and vest-style harnesses may have them lying on the floor without any movement. This is because when they feel hugged like that on that much surface they feel as if they were pushed downward from the top and then, they fall down. The cats who accept these harness may feel disoriented for a while and, in my experience, this kind of harness needs much more training than lighter ones. For beginners, I would definitively recommend the expawlorer style: it is easy to put on and off even when the cat hate having something passed above its head, it not so easy to escape from (but there are no harness for cat that is 100% escape proof), and that's the one which covers the less of the sensitive parts of a cat body (around shoulders and belly). I have been walking out with my cats for more than one year now and I never really managed to get them used to the kitty holster or any vest-style harness. I use those when I want them to be totally immobile, when going to the vet for example... For me the first step for difficult cats is the H style harness, with straps as thin as possible. The petsafe harness is the next step and vest-style harnesses, the very last step for cats that are already quite used to wear a harness like Mia. And it is necessary to start at home with a super loose fit, to be tightened a little each time. I am using the petsafe harness for my cats, it works, it is light and cute. I'd like to know what is the arrangement you have done to the upper straps with this little red string. Is it a friction knot to prevent the harness to get loose? For me, I have to regularly readjust the harnesses on my cats because they never pull on the leash, so that the harness never tighten...

[@jillibean8699]

Mia has grown so much since your last videos 😻 Hope you keep making more videos!!!!

[@ChunLoeSee]

Great video Albert! Maybe you can share a video about how you take care of Mia? Like clipping nails, feeding, playing, brushing etc

[@blessedbythebest6227]

YES!! I would love details on Clipping Mias nails

[@dori-]

Great suggestions! My cat loves when I run my backscratcher thru his fur. Purrs like crazy and will MEOOW 😾 (yells) at me when I stop 😹 I love my baby so much I have to brush him until he literally falls asleep otherwise I feel guilty. I also have an extra cell phone that belongs to him. He plays his kitty game apps and loves falling asleep to cat music on KZbin. My Aaron is spoiled rotten but I’d do anything for him 😻😿

[@zathegame]

Clipping a cat claws isn't good for them, it usually makes them feel weak, defenseless and uncomfortable; also makes them unable to climb, or at least really hard for them

[@bettyboop3353]

@@zathegame declawing cats hurts them. Clipping the nails is a necessity. My cat would destroy my recliners.

[@jaciertoify]

Albert, very well done in a friendly, down-to-earth and informative manner. Your Mia is a sweetheart.

[@OutdoorBengal]

Thanks so much!

[@MileyLouie]

Hi Albert.. thanks for the review. My cat has no problem wearing harness, but she seemed terrified to go outdoors 😁. If you could do a video on how to calm and train cats to be outdoor-friendly, that would be great! 😊

[@Piinkypanter]

with xp from my cat it comes with small steps. maybe let her get used to outdoor sounds indoors with the sounds you play of on youtube.. just a little brainwave since youtube also had cat tv's with birds to watch :P

[@MileyLouie]

@@Piinkypanter That's actually a great idea, mommymolly! I guess practice makes perfect as they say.. Now I need to brainwash my kitty on the big screen TV! 😁

[@godavisockaite7775]

Sometimes if your cat doesn’t want to go outside it’s just their personality! Like if someone was making you do sports if you hate it. :)

[@MileyLouie]

@@godavisockaite7775 Come to think of it, you might be right! After all, cats are natural hunters.. maybe the idea of going out to an open space outdoors doesn't suit well for my cat.. she prefers confined indoors full of hiding spots😹

[@technomicah]

Thank you for all the videos. Mia has been a great inspiration for my bengal, Laana. The bingpet looks like the one I use, cirque by RC pets (size XXS) She is an experienced leash walker, has no problem putting it on and shes very comfortable wearing it. It's not escape proof, but Laana is not trying to escape. She is 8 months old and had a thin nylon harness before we got this one last month. PS no clicker, no treats. We worked it out together with love and patience.

[@SleepyMamaBear-]

Thank you for all your informative videos! 😍

[@ferosa89]

Cool channel ,sympathetic guy, great charisma and very helpful and informative 😺

[@LilHeavenlyTreasures]

Introduced my cat to the clicker training last night and also put a harness on her to see if she could get used to it. Within an hour, she was able to walk around in it freely and she never tried to get out of it, though she did pout some..LOL She did relax and rest toward the end and did not seem stressed which I think is a plus. Was a pain to put on since the one I had was to put her head through a hole. So I have ordered the PUPTECK one. I figure I will just repeat the process daily of putting a harness on her with a treat reward system until it is nothing to her before I introduce the leash. :-)

[@zeusebruce6483]

[@blkbrn1952]

Mia is beautiful. I have one cat that is part Houdini and I've yet to find a harness that she can't get out of. After her running off and being gone for 24 hours, I decided that we would have to let go of our dreams of walking her outdoors.

[@OutdoorBengal]

You must try the Houdini Cat Harness! It’s probably the safest cat harness out there. Training is also extremely important! I have a couple tutorials on my page!

[@prachijain1480]

Hi is it okay if your cat tries to escape from home even after living with you for 4-5 months or even more. I cry sometimes thinking that it doesn't love me . You inspire me to travel with my cat. I have a tabby but he remains too aloof. And tries to run away from the house. Can you share some tips on how to prevent that?

[@vickicook6224]

Your videos are THE BEST!!!!! The harness links no longer working. I like the one velcro with clips. Would you be so kind as to update that so we can ensure we are purchasing the right one.

Albert, can you make a video on bicycle baskets and how we train our furry family members?

[@eugie1626]

I loved your video and your cat is sooooo gorgeous 😻 We have the black one with velcro, but ours has the buckle for the neck and also one for around their belly, which is super convenient. I just wonder if you think that one where the buckle closes on the back is more escape proof? Our main problem is that he doesn't like the feeling of the leash. He sometimes freaks out when he suddenly wants to sprint (and the leash restrains him) meaning we've only went in our garden with him because we don't want him to escape. Thanks for your amazing informative videos! It has encouraged us to harness and leash train our very outdoor loving cat 😁

Just a note to let you know the outdoor bengal harness came yesterday. I did wash it to get the factory smell out. I had been trying to get Starlight used to a harness, but it was s bulky she would sit & only walk when I had a treat & a clicker. I put on the outdoor bengal harness & it was like putting her collar on her. She actually sit while I put it on & walked around like she had nothing on. Thank you so much for a wonderful harness! I was not expecting this. She still has a couple of days before we try outside but I am excited about it now. Is there somewhere that I could do a review on the harness?

[@bella-k11]

Albert, I need your help! Is there a harness you've tested that's good for winter? One that keeps them warm as well.

[@daniellemarks8480]

Hey Albert, question for you: you say to not let your cat walk infront of you but you also say to have a fairly long leash? Can you explain where your cat should be walking with you and how to get them in that position? Thank you! Love your videos.

[@OutdoorBengal]

In an ideal world, you lead the way and they follow. If they stop for any reason, you can give them leash space so you don’t have to stop every time they do!

Albert, Mia is precious!!! My 2 year old Maine Coon attempts to swat or bite me when I place the pop it harness on. I love this harness for many reason especially because it is so easy to put on. Any suggestion for how to stop the swatting and biting? We are his forever home, but he has had 2 homes before us. He’s been with us for 1.5 months so I’m thinking we still have to get to know each other better. I have other questions for you is this the best place to ask questions or advice?

[@hannibruhngrann9211]

Recognised Gaudí park in this episode ❤️‍🔥 Very good point about the step in function Hanni Denmark

[@OutdoorBengal]

Thank you! The cat harness that I use is very light yet escape-proof. It has a small chest pad to protect the cat when they pull and a self-restricting mechanism that gently snugs the cat when they try to slip out. The harness is available for sale on: amzn.to/42khwDA and on our website!

What do you think of using both for a thin Kitty? Mesh first layer and Pet safe over?

[@OutdoorBengal]

Hello! I have to say that you are not alone. For cats that are very nervous, the PetSafe might be a little too thin. Instead of using 2 harnesses, I would use a jacket (less volume) and the harness on top. Also, consider subscribing to our newsletter. We are launching a harness to solve this problem that you mention.

[@ebrugenc8974]

Hi Albert, nice video! I ordered the escape proof Harnas the black one with velcro double buckle on Amazon, it came in a size S. It seems a bit small for my cat but the measurements are correct. Could I ask you which size Mia is wearing? I think my cat Muca, has the same proportions like Mia! Thank you! X

[@OutdoorBengal]

Hello! Thanks for the appreciation! I use an M size with Mia. I've been using the S but the velcro in the belly was not as tight as I like it, so I got a size up. My recommendation, unless it's very loose, is to use this one until your cat gets used to it and trade up to the PetSafe (advanced harness) to let them get the most out of the time outdoors. Hope this helps!

How can I make sure that the explorer harness isn't squishing the cat or I haven't make it small enough?

[@OutdoorBengal]

The rule of thumb is to fit two fingers between the harness and the cat´s body. If you can fit more than two fingers comfortably, too loose. If you can´t fit two fingers, too tight.

Hi Albert and beautiful Mia. How lucky you are to live in gorgeous barcelona!! You videos are great and really inspiring, but can you help me as I've recently taken on a 2y.o ragdoll female. She's always been an indoor cat but I'd love to take her out n about. She has no concept of road danger. I bought 2 harnesses from Amazon. 1 looks like a mesh covered jacket with Velcro & clips, 1 red that's basically 2 straps for neck & chest. She's not overly bothered by them being on her but was really freaked by the lead hanging down. I know you cant just stride out like with a dog, and I get very upset when I see videos of people thinking its funny to drag a terrified cat along the ground. I've never used a clicker, & she's not very interested in cat treats. What would you recommend to fast-track my cat-buddy to an outdoorsy cat??? I've bought lots of toys too but I'd like to take her places with me!!! Thank u in advance. N❤
