NEVER again!

[Kirsten]

Poor CJ, what a horror!!! Reminds me of the horrible day when baby Lily got all tangled up in a lose edge of a blanket and almost killed herself!!! Had to cut her out of there!

I would definitely never use such a harness on CJ again! I once tried that with Luna, buts he ran away and kind of wiggled herself out of it. That day I decided it would be way too risky to let her walk outside my apartment with such a thing!

OMG, what kind of harness what that ? Poor CJ, that must have been a real horrible experience... !
I don't think you will ever get another collar on that boy.... !

I copied this from a 11/02 post:

"Freckles, strictly an indoor cat, doesn't wear a collar, but is chipped.

About 1970, my cat Jerry, was licking and cleaning his chest. Suddenly a lower canine tooth caught in the buckle of his leather collar. Fortunately, he was sitting right in front of me when it happened. I had to cut the collar off. None of my cats ever wore a similar collar again."

I know this is very scary.

My RB cat Oly got stuck in his collar like that one time. I found him when I got home doing a whirling dervish in the front room and by the time I got the thing off he had nearly shredded me and the shirt I wearing. No more collars for the O man.

So glad the Jack'ster is fine. Hopefully, Terry will come around in a day or two. This also happened with Monte. No more harness.

To echo...this is the exact reason none of my cats wear collars.

Poor Cj, and poor Debbie & Terry!!

Reminds me of the time I *tried* a harness on my RB kittie Willie. He was a big 20 lb tom cat, and someone told me that I should walk him on a harness. So I bought one, put one on him and took him for a walk in the apt. complex I lived in. Things went really well until a neighbor came walking up the walkway and scared Willie. He was out of that harness and into the parking lot before I realized what happened!! It took about 20 minutes, but I finally got a hold of him, brought him back inside, and trashed that harness!

My MIL gave our current kitties collars with bells for Christmas one year, and we put them on, already knowing that they weren't going to stay on, but it was quite funny to see the 3 going wacko trying to get this noisy collar off!!

Indoor kitties don't need collars, and the ONLY time mine go outside is in a carrier to the vet.

I'm glad CJ is ok. Beau wears a collar but Felicia always fights it.

HeHeHe!!! LOL Richard.


Debbie, I'm so sorry that this happened but glad that CJ is fine now. My cats will never wear collars either and they're all microchipped. I do have a dog harness for Sky but he hates it.
