Roxii is 6 weeks and obviously hadn't had injections but is she too young to start collar and lead training in the house?

Well, to be honest she's too young to be away from her mother Sad , but having said that, if she's with you now then the sooner the better. Try with a soft cat collar at first - they have more give in them & usually a bit of elastic so if it gets caught on anything it'll come off & she won't panic!

Once she'll accept the collar, just clip a lightweight lead on & let her drag it around. Hopefully by the time she's allowed out she'll be quite used to it! Big Grin
