I haven’t attempted the double harness, but general advice I got when asking around for avoiding escapes was that where there’s a will, there’s a way for cats. I think the ultimate answer is to make sure you train them to see you or a carrier you always have nearby as a safe retreat. We didn’t train that young enough so we only go on walks right in front of our home and when she does get spooked enough to escape, she at least knows to run back to our door.

I feel like there would be some fucks given in the Greek situation…

Not that scary, more just interesting. I was camping on a full moon near a creek with a lot of quail. For a while in the night I heard these periodic short screams, probably something hunting them and just hearing their last cry. I’m guessing the moon gave whatever more light to hunt with. It made me sad when it was happening but in retrospec it was kinda neat.
