Can I Walk My Cat On A Leash?

As the days get longer and warmer, we all want to be outside.  We do get asked if cats can go out on a leash.

The answer is yes, but it is best to practice indoors.  Harnesses are better than collars since they are harder to escape.  Most cats will get use to having a harness on their bodies.

People do act like they have never seen a cat when they see one on a leash. As with most things cat, the cat walks you not the other way around.

We have video of us putting on a leash on my cat.  The second video is from Buzz Feed and is pretty humorous.

All right folks. Let’s see. Here we are. We’re going to show you how to put a harness on a cat. This is Patrick– Hi. –and Bart. So Bart is a really good guy. Quickly put this on around his torso All right, Buddy Boy. Bart is Mr. Tolerant. He is very tolerant. So you might have a little bit more difficulty at home with your feline. And you might let them get used to it. Just takes a little while. Usually most cats will acclimate to it, then you can take them outside and walk them on a leash, and everyone will look at you like you got three eyes. And that’s putting a harness on a cat. See you later. Take care.
