Yeah I probably won't simply because the herd mentality here is not worth my time. I doubt any of you had any experience with harnesses, if not with cats at all.
100% I’ve never even seen a cat much less successfully harness trained two of mine.
First of all, harnesses work to some degree. They aren't perfect but that doesn't mean they don't work at all. I used one on my cat so many times, and he's only almost gotten out of it once.
Secondly, regardless of a harness working or not, that doesn't excuse letting your cat outside all willy nilly, still dangerous.
I'm advocating the exact opposite - don't walk your cats on harnesses and keep them indoors.
That's fair enough, better to be safe than sorry. If anything, having a nice catio would probably be better.
