taking the harness off

[Phoenix17June2009]

okay so phoenix and i go outside, when we do he has his kitty harness... but i'll put him in his viv and begin to take it off and he will run and head swipe and hiss.. you name it he does it... anyone have any ideas how i can do this easier... i move slowly with him and as far as i can tell he doesnt care if i put it on him... any ideas?

What if you were to take it off before placing him back in the viv....or maybe a little snuggle time before putting him back and try taking off the harness while he's in snuggle mode?

i'll try it!! usually when we come in he throws a fit anyway,lol.. *spoiled*** so i think thats part of it but i'll definatly try that!! thanks for the tip!! i'll let you know if it works

Morgan you could also try letting him run around the house or room for a few before try to attempt taking it off...maybe a cool/calm down period would do him good. :lol:

Your welcome ....I find it comical that he doesn't like to take it off yet gives you no problems putting it on. :lol: Sounds like he's just not ready to give up the harness when you are ready. :lol:
