I tried to put the harness on Ted.

I survived without being mauled but it was close. The harness is not on him.

Oh poor Ted. And poor you.

Maybe leave it out for a few days so he can have a sniff and see that it doesn't attack him? Putting it on might be step two.

He's just not tame enough. I can hardly pat him without being bit . At least he doesn't hiss at me anymore when I feed him.

Gibson fucked me up when I tried the harness. She hardly ever hisses but yeah, lesson learned.

Put it on him for meals maybe?

He's a rescue and close to feral. Wouldn't work. I just wanted him to be able to go out for walks. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Oof. Void will harness and lead. Fishycat will harness kinda but flips out if lead is added. Sorry, little one, no outsides for you.
