We have a problem


Well after Moli's little 'upset' yesterday I've not been able to go anywhere near her when I've got her harness in my hand She just totally freaks out. I've even left it out so she get's used to it again but she see's it, hisses and runs off.

I want my brave little Moli kitten back!!!!

One little incident and I've gotta start all over again with her

Give her a couple of days. Leave the harness in one place where she'll see it often and then just leave her to it. I'm sure she'll get over it if given time to do it at her own pace.

I haven't known her so flighty poor thing

I've left the harness in the hallway so no matter which door she comes in she's gotta walk past it to get to the living room

Re: We have a problem


I'm sure she wil come round Nae - it just may take longer than the original efforts. Poor Moli. But she is made of good solid stock and is normally so laid back - she will be fine.
In the meantime, make that vest!

Re: We have a problem


Poor little poppet!!! perhaps when you can get the harness back on her just a few trips around the garden will be enough to get her confidence back?

One question though, what do you do if you come across somebody walking their dog??

Re: We have a problem


DM Moli's vest is being sorted as we speak and so is mine, hopefully then people will be more considerate

EmmaG we've only ever met one person with a dog on one of our walks and Moli completely ignored it and it her. They were on opposite sides of the road. I am always on the look out for dog walkers so we can take evasive action if neccessary
