I'm just curious, folks. Can you walk a cat on a leash?

That's kinda weird. Cats aren't meant to be walked. Dogs are.

well, i've seen some do that but i don't with my cat.

you can make a cat wear a leash but i doubt if you can make it walk on that. cats are not dogs. they don't like to be tied and led by another.

I agree. Though it would seem like a good idea, cats do not like being walked on a leash -- in fact, I don't think they like to be walked at all. Cats are very independent creatures. If they want to, they will take walks though not necessarily with you Laughing

i don't think you'll be able to make a cat walk on a leash. and, i agree, they don't want to be led. i believe cats think they are too dignified for this. Very Happy

i can't even imagine a cat on a leash! hahaha. i'm sure my cat would put up a fight if i try to get it on a leash.

i agree with susie. I can't also imagine a cat on a leash. that's is just not possible dude.

You can walk a cat on a leash, but not all cats. Only very tame and comfortably stable cat can be walked on that.

Here's a cat that's on a leash. And look, she's not moving.

you're right, joey. i think that cat will only move when and if it wants to.

i guess it depends on the cat. i mean, bigger cats like tigers are put on a leash, aren't they?

You may have a point there, Isabella...

my cats would soo hate me if i try to put them on leashes.

besides, why put cats on leashes? it's not like they enjoy being walked, do they?

haha yes harvey and isabella, it depends on the kind and size of the cat.
but I don't make my Persian and Siamese cats wear leashes, though. I'm happy that they're quite behaved and easy to manage as they are.

there are leashes for cats, Harvey. and there are also harnesses. for those who travel with their cat, what is recommended to use is a harness because it's more secure.

Maia Shearer · Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:43 pm Post subject:

Right Libby. there really are leashes and harnesses designed for cats. leashes can be a big help to us cat owners. these can help us manage and secure our cats easily when we go outdoors. Wink

i'll take your word for it, maia. maybe i should put them on a leash when they travel with me, for safety.

Sofia Blackbern · Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 3:28 pm Post subject:

i don't really know if leashes function for the sole purpose of walking the cats...i think they work just as a safety tool for keeping your cat with you, when you're outdoors. Wink

exactly. i think leashes will save us from the pain of constantly worrying about our cats and having a hard time managing them when we're out.
