A cat charity has warned of a rise in people using harnesses to take their cats outside, preventing the animals’ natural fight or flight response and leading to them feeling stressed and scared.

Almost one in six (15%) cat owners use a harness to take their cat out, according to a survey by Cats Protection, up from 10% a year ago.
