Butterscotch and Gingersnap Fall Over on the Street

I told my friend that cats aren't like dogs; you can't put them on a harness and expect them to immediately adjust to it. It has to happen gradually. From the many cat books I've read, you have to leave the harness lying around at first so they get used to seeing it. Later you can put it on them and let them walk around with it lying loosely on their bodies. Then finally, once they are comfortable with that, you can attach the harness on them properly and walk them down the street like little dogs.
Still, I find their aversion to the harness funny as when they are indoors, his cats literally fly through the air and land on the highest object in his house, which is usually the humungous TV set he has. How can animals that graceful be unable to walk with a harness on? It just defies logic. Or maybe it’s similar to the old story of the elephant thinking it can’t break free from being tied to a post with a rope. Animal logic can be a bit fuzzy at a time like this.
