This will give your cat a little more freedom and keep him safe while he is out on the balcony with you. It's important to note that your cat or kitten is never too young to begin learning to wear a harness. There can be benefits to starting young; if you start training your kitten to wear a harness at, say 8 weeks, then he will more easily accept wearing a harness as normal. With that said, it's also possible to train adult cats to wear harnesses; it just takes a bit more patience.   Make sure to get the right size of harness. Measure the cat's neck and stomach with a measuring tape snugly but not tightly. Then purchase the harness that best approximates those measurements.  Start by putting on the harness (without the leash) on its slackest setting while giving your cat lots of praise and his favorite treat. Then remove harness after a minute or two. Repeat this at least twice a day for 1-2 weeks and gradually extend the amount of time your cat wears the harness before he gets a treat and your praise. The goal is to get your cat to forget he is wearing the harness and be comfortable in it.  How readily your cat accepts the harness is a matter of his individual character and how quick he learns. Male or female, neutered or un-neutered, if the cat is generally sociable and happy to be around people, then you have a good chance of training him to wear a harness. Attach the leash to the harness once your cat has been trained and accepts wearing the harness.  Fit the harness so that it is snug, but that you are still able to insert two fingers between the straps and the cat. If the harness is too slack, the cat may be able to wriggle free. On the other hand, if the harness is too tight, this can cause discomfort or pain for your cat.  Be aware that a regular harness may snap when placed under stress, which would occur if the cat falls off the balcony. Use the harness to restrict the cat's movements so that he cannot reach the balcony rail and thus put himself in a position of danger. If your intention is to use the harness as a safety restraint (e.g., to hold his weight if he falls), then you must buy a harness that is certified as suitable as a car restraint. If your intention is to give your cat freedom of the balcony in your absence, then tie the leash to an immovable object, and make sure the cat cannot reach the balcony rail from that position. Make sure you tied the leash tightly. Double-check the security of your knot by pulling on it a couple of times. If the knot is sturdy, it shouldn't come apart as you tug on it. If you're home, keep an eye on your cat as he roams the balcony.
