I have a seven-month-old Ragdoll, and he adores going for walks. I recently moved from my parents' home to an apartment in another city, so this is a great way to keep him from feeling cooped up because of the smaller living space.
Umm... sorry, but no. Having an indoor cat is not a form of cruelty. If you think it is, you clearly have not volunteered in enough shelters in your life. Go do it, then come back when you know what you're talking about.
Sorry to be rude, but as the owner of a beautiful, healthy, and above all, CONTENT indoor cat, I find that statement ludicrous.
I just love this! I make the original Mynwood Cat Jacket that allows you to give your indoor cat fresh air whilst keeping him safe and secure. Please check out my website.
I just cannot get the harness on my cat. Whenever he see's me trying to put his head through that hole, he just runs away in fear. But when I can get it on, he's so fat and uncooperative, I can't get the other strap around him. Help please?
lmao! she's talking and the cat's like wat THE f***k is this thangy doin on mah gorgeous neck! She best not be hangin me cuz i'm half black . rofl JK! :D
I agree!! And well said! Far too many animals, much like their owners, are over weight! Mine included!! LOL!!! So I'm all for getting those pets out of the house, and exercised rather than letting them lay around and pack on the pounds:) Hmmmm...could probably do with a bit of that myself on my own advice on my days off! Hehehehe but since I work as a valet, I do get quite a bit of exercise during my work week;)
I don't think it's cruel to keep a cat indoor. It's tough when they have been exposed to outdoor life since they've had a taste and may not wish to give it up. As long as they have access to a window, outdoor enclosure, screened porch, or fenced yard that is safe (safe from coyotes, wild dogs and birds of prey), I don't see why they can't be happy.
While I appreciate your suggestions, you should understand that I live on a very busy street that is merely separated by a wooden fence that surrounds my back yard. If I lived on several acres, than I would certainly have no need of any type of security. As it is, all it would take is one leap up and over that fence regardless of any supervision. I'm sure you would agree that cats are very fast and agile creatures! Especially when determined. Trust, me...he is very content and quite spoiled lol
There is nothing wrong with walking a cat! This is new, and therefore ppl are quick to critize, because it out of the norm. But with all the heavy ppl and heavy cats in this nation, having a way to burn a few extra calories and bound more with your pet shouldn't be critized!! Ppl need a little sunshine and fresh air just as much as a cat or dog needs it! The outdoors is beautiful and healthy. And this is a safe alternative for cats to get a little outdoor time w/o being harmed.
@nikigurl08: So true. It seems new to most people on walking cats and people are used to seeing dogs being walked. Next thing you know the vets will required cats being walk as it becomes more popular.
@nikigurl08 Thank you for posting! Finally! Someone with something positive to say about something that is not only good and healthy for your kitty, but also safe!! And that's what's important isn't it?? I can't believe all the angry replies I've received simply because I've chosen to give my indoor kitty access to fresh air, sunshine and exercise in a SAFE manner! Sheesh people! Get a life! And to those who feel like spamming me with more angry replies. Don't bother! Sorry OP for offense:(
@LdyWolf Well cats use to be something ONLY women could own, cuz NO self respecting man wanted a cat. And that has changed, so that even manly men can own a cat w/o ppl questioning his manhood. So things have changed and as time progresses you will c more ppl walking their cats, just like it not that common to see ppl bike their dogs. I have two tiny dogs that I take for bike rides and some ppl may critize but they love it and their not fat and miserable like so many other pets I see!
but the cat did not actually go for a walk :( I started walking my cat as soon i got his off the street which was when he was 9 years old! I did not give him a treat because cats generally don't go for treats they think they're just bs... at least for my cats...
Make sure you use a retractable leash. You're only keeping your cat safe outdoors. then just let him or her have the lead and basically "walk" you! LOL!! The retractable leash will help you cat to feel unfettered and they should just slowly start to explore. Patience is the key here. You can also try giving a little tug every now an then to encourage them to walk. But the whole point is to allow them to get used to it. Try letting them wear just the harness in the house first.
I think it's cruel to keep a cat indoors all it's life. I have a new Siberian kitten and I've been working with him on his leash so that he can SAFELY enjoy the outdoors. I also have a run for him in the backyard so that he can SAFELY go out when I put the dog outside. I only do so though when I'm home and can keep an eye on him. An outdoor unwatched cat is a dead cat. Sorry to be blunt but it's true!! Way too many dangers for kitty outdoors. My kitten learned to walk in only one day.
lol better to be seen as a crazy nut then to have one's cat meet a certain terrible fate. My cat is now 8 mo. old and loves being on his retractable leash/run outside. I just thread it through a clothes line I put up and he has the full run of the yard so he can explore all he wants and just be a cat...well, that is as much as I can safely allow him to be. He loves to just sit in the grass and pounce on whatever he happens to be "hunting" that day lol
@LdyWolf We have things called CAT FLAPS in the UK on back doors. Cats come and go as they please. Even Cat Food commercials often have cats going in and out of cat flaps to eat.
Dogs only have leashes on the street. At home nobody puts a dog on a leash in their garden to play, so why the hell should you a cat? If you are that worried you can supervise your cat in the garden without tying it up unnaturally.
@LdyWolf as long as the cat has a scratching post and toys to play with along with a window to look out of he will be happy. indoor cats live far longer than outdoor ones and if theyv never been out they adapt to indoors
@LdyWolf You say it's "cruel to keep a cat indoors all it's life," but, do you really believe a cat knows anything about being outside if it doesn't go out? I mean, why is it "cruel?" The statistics say an indoor cat lives often twice as long as an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat. Cruel? I don't understand. What's cruel? Can a cat really comprehend it's being kept indoors as cruelty? That doesn't make sense. I know many, many seemingly-satisfied & happy, healthy indoor cats, including mine.
@ProChoiceJesus Thank you for your comment. In answer to your question, yes I do believe a cat knows about outside. It's called instinct. And cats, like all animals, have it very strong. Why else do you think wild animals born into captivity don't live as long? They "know" nothing other than being in captivity, yet their life spans are significantly shorter than those born in the wild. Feel free to do what you think is best for your cat. Just don't think he or she doesn't "know."
@MSIslave28 Quite a few "exceptions" actually. I know, because my daughter works at an animal sanctuary and is in charge of over 30 tigers and 5 lions. These animals are rescued from captivity type situations such as zoos, and circuses. Their life span, even in what amounts to "animal heaven" at this sanctuary is significantly shorter. Animals, much like people are meant to be free. I think it's our job as pet owners to make this happen for them as much and as safely as possible.
@LdyWolf Wow, you are so full of shit. A cat isn't going to die going out on it's own, your cat is going to have a miserably existance if it can't have any time away from you outdoors to go exploring. The only danger is the road and cats aren't as thick as you, they know not to go in it, retard.
@Faiiliien What's with the name calling? You really need to get a life, if in order to feel productive you've got to turn yourself into some armchair warrior. Wth??? Do whatever you feel is best for your kitty. I've simply come up with a SAFE compromise that both my kitty and I can live with. Oh and he says, not to worry cause my mommy spoils my lil furry butt rotten;)
@LdyWolf At least my idea of productivity isn't teaching a cat to walk and building needless crap for it so I can feel safe as I'm so insecure that I'm afraid my only companion is going to leave me if i take my eyes off it. I feel sorry for you, I really do. You clearly crave companionship but can only find it in animals, you're the one who needs to get a life. You don't have one, and you're denying your cat one. Stop giving bad advice to good people, keep your rubbish to yourself.
@christinefragala1 I'm so sorry your cat is missing. I do hope you find her:( Have you tried putting up posters with reward offers. Sometimes they do help. Also, maybe try putting out some of her favorite food outside and wait to see if she comes to eat it. You might even rig up a surveillance cam. At least then you'd know if she was still alive, and approx what time she came to eat the food. Then you could make sure you were home at that time to let her in the house. I hope you find your kitty.
Wow. It's a crappin' miracle! An expert village video that actually is helpful and informative! Wooo! -pops confetti fun-
Maybe it's because she's...well, and expert? I don't really think most of the people that make these videos are experts, but whatever. I'm just glad this was actually helpful.
what you do is put a stick on his collar so it sticks out over his head, put a piece of string on the end of the string and tie a cat treat on the end so their is a cat treat dangling in front of it. Thats how I trained my cat.
@mossbank123spir Ppl put harness on livestock, and horses, how is this any different!! NO ANIMAL accepts a leash right away NOT EVEN a DOG!! Just look at a puppy or a young horse and in this case a cat. If an animal isn't use to a leash of course it will resist, but ppl like you want a quick and easy solution because you cannot take a challenge. A cat is just a little more work than a dog when it comes to accepting a leash, but that does not mean it shouldn't be done or CAN"T be done!
My question is how do you put a leash on a kitten who sees it and scratches on your hand to reach it now thats my problem......... Please help well they have to start in a very young age remember but how to put a leash on their waist if their just gonna try to get it and its gnna be impossible to put it on........
@suiteangel45 lol your "kitten" is probably full grown by now, but wanted to answer you anyway...wait till he or she is very sleepy before trying to put it on. Kittens sleep quite heavily since they play so much;)
Why is it that everything is so complicated with cats? I've never had a cat before, but I'm considering adopting one, so I've been looking over cat tips and tutorials. I've owned dogs my whole life and I've never had to go to so much trouble!
@YusukeIZmine Well cats are sometimes different because cats are more of the scratching or not that obedient than dogs do..... but yet some cats doesn't need an owner to be patient when they love doing those thing LOL
Cats do whatever they please. It is often joked that Humans dont own Cats, but on the contrary.
Cats are actually very self-sufficient generally; you don't need to bathe them, you don't need to brush them generally (I own two half-Persians and have never needed to), basically just feed them, make sure they've got water and clean their litter (if they're indoors), and make sure they don't get sick.
@Vire70 Cats only own their owners if their owners don't display dominance, or if they are acquired when they are older and can't be trained. I have a cat, and I tell you he knows what he can't and can do, and knows there will be instant punishment if i catch him. They are animals and need to be trained and treated as such, they don't react to reason, they react to cause and effect. and if people didn't spoil their cats and treated them like children and let them do whatever they want
Hmph, how ignorant. Obviously you can teach them what you want them to do, that doesn't mean they are programmable tools with no feelings.
Saying "they are animals and need to be trained and treated as such" gives off an incredibly callous vibe. One could say the exact same about humans after all.
@MaliciousYankee So be it if they want to bring their prey home then bring it i dont care ill just clean it up not that hard to do.They are cats their meant to hunt,roam freely if you dont want them to roam around hunting and shit teach them to be a house cat.For me i have 3 cats and they are perfectly healthy and fit you know how i do it? i let them be cats not dogs cats if i put a leash on my cat they are just going to tear that motherfucker apart.
It depends on what else your cat likes. If she likes petting and attention, then you might try petting her and then slowly moving your hand away from her and hoping that she follows. Keep doing it for a while and increase the distance your cat walks. Remember, when she does what you like, (walk forward) you should praise her with whatever she likes. If she isn't a "petting" fan, you can try tuna treats. (they love them) Or If she doesn't even like those, try real food.
@AnimalsROCK271 Yes. After getting her used to the retractable leash and harness by letting her wear both around the house till she gets use to them, pick her up with both leash and harness on and carry her out of the house. Hold her tightly, as she will be frightened if never outside before. Walk some distance from the house into a large open area with no obstacle to run to and hide under. Now set her down and give her full control of the retractable leash.
@LdyWolf Let her take the lead, completely, and then simply quietly follow behind her. She will instinctively want to look for your house again or anything familiar, this will cause her to slowly begin to explore her new surroundings. If she seems overly upset, kneel down and pet her and talk softly and reassuringly to her. Make it as pleasant an experience as possible for her. If she just sits there and looks up at you, give a little tug and begin walking away from her.
@LdyWolf This part is where the RL comes in handy. Because it will allow you to get a good 20 feet from her and will encourage her natural desire to follow you, as you are now the only familiar and SAFE thing in her world! It sounds mean, but so long as you continue to reassure her and keep her safe, if on a street, be watching for cars. I find that my kitty trained better late at night when most people were asleep so fewer distractions.
@LdyWolf Just keep doing this every night and she will soon come to welcome her new found SAFE freedom and new places to explore with you. Also, it's a good idea as you walk back to your house to allow her to walk up to the front door and through it. This encourages her natural feline independence and gives her a sense of some control back to where she feels safer and begins to trust you more.
@LdyWolf As she begins to feel safer and more comfortable with her walking you lol, as that is exactly what she is doing, begin to start out your walks closer and closer to your house. Eventually, she will be able to walk you right out your front door, ANTICIPATING her walk with you:) Sorry this has been so long...but you asked;0)
A warning for people walking a cat on a leash: your cat can get out of the leash like Houdini and STILL get runover. My cat got off a leash in seconds and luckily he did not run into traffic. I will never think that I can take him for a walk safely on a leash.
@beten0ire Very important! Use a harness! Not just a leash. And make sure it is good and snug. My kitty is a Siberian, as those who know Siberians know they have a coat like a rabbit! He is smooth and silky, so I must be extra careful to keep his harness snug and check it often. Also, a RL helps the cat to feel more in control and not so tethered. Just make sure you're walking him or her in a wide open area to start training. Like a school or something of that nature during a quiet time of day.
Today, I tried to put a harness on my cat. She hissed and growled at me. I got it on her, but couldn't snap the neck part together. She was unwilling to cooperate and was running away from me. I got fed up and took scissors and cut off the harness. I would love for her to take a walk with the family. We let her out without a leash, and she starting running and sneaking around the neighbor's backyards. She's real cute but such a brat at times. She's 1 1/2 years old.
I dont think anyone cares what you want, ever think that the person might be alergic to dogs? I didn't think so, learn how to spell and keep your thoughts to youself
...If you want to take something out for a walk, then get a dog. Cat's are not made for beeing treated like a dog... Dogs like to follow. Cat's don't. If you don't want to give you cat it's fredom, I don't want you to have a cat. Just get a dog. it's that simple. lol.
"Walking" a cat isn't about treating it like a dog- I see it as a way to allow an indoor cat to experience being outside. Maybe other posters here don't, but since I live in a place where it wouldn't be safe to let my cat come and go as he pleases, I'd like to try and take him outside (using a harness, I guess) on supervised "walks".
my cat just roams around out side without a leash, and he is fine, but a leash is a good way to walk a cat, but it's not really letting them enjoy there freedom lol
It's never too late to teach cats tricks. It just takes more time as they get older (since they become more independent and stubborn). If your cat knows how to stay, try making her stay with a harness on (using treats and praise). Once you do that, attach the leash. Don't use the video's method. Cat's HATE to be tugged on. They're dominant animals so don't force them. Train your cat to walk with you with the leash on the collar, but not in your hands. Have her do that for a while.
Then, pick up the leash. She should be used to the idea of a leash attached to her collar regardless of whether or not you're holding it. When you're using treats, don't just drop it in front of her. Hold it in front of her nose and slowly move further away. She'll follow it instinctively. My cat learned fast. She loved treats and attention. She was around 2 (I think) when I found her. With your cat, it might take time and a lot of patience, but cat's are smart. Just persuade her. :)
i have a kitten, well he is one in september and i am thinking of getting him a lead because he is really adventurous and it will get him a bit more excercise than walking around the neighbours gardens.
@ShinkuDragon Yes, the earlier the better! It's like teaching a child a foreign language vs an adult. They will learn it much more quickly and it won't seem like such a new thing or a threat to their safety. Start putting a harness on your kitty right away so he or she will get used to wearing it. Make it a positive thing by giving a treat before and after putting it on. And also when taking it off again. It will quickly learn to associate "harness" with "Num nums"
@LdyWolf After she's had all of her shots, you can begin with the wide open area training method that I mentioned already. Have patience and give lots of reassurance. She'll be walking YOU in no time at all;0)
i have to learn how to do this on a 5 year old cat because she isnt allowed otu anymore because our neighbors were complaining about her killing baby rabbits :(
Cats won't walk with leashes, not because they're stupid, but because they're smart. First of all, its not in their genes to be led, they like to lead.
Secondly, the cats you see going nuts when they're on a leash, that's how they would react if caught in something in the wild.....it's an instinctive response to get out of whatever they're caught in.
It would be good if cats could walk on a leash ......they'd get exercise, stay out of their neighbour's yards ......but you can't fight nature.
@crackerdawg@crackerdawg If your cat is afraid then try this (although I hesitate to give this advice as it teaches bad habits lol) Get a RL and harness. Get the cat used to wearing it inside the house by using the treat method I mentioned. Once he or she is used to it, wait for a time when your cat is looking out your door to the outside world. A sliding glass door is ideal for this. Put the leash and harness on and then slowly open the door. he will do the rest, just hold tightly to the RL;)
@ApocalypsePlough Wrong! That's where a RL comes in. Let the can walk YOU! You're simply there to keep it safe from danger. Once you realize this, it's a piece of cake. Don't try to change your cat's nature, by putting it through your idea of obedience training...adapt to his or her nature by using a RL and just letting him or her do what comes natural. To explore:)
I have never had a cat who would walk on a leash, and I've had quite a few cats in my lifetime.
Like I said, being on a leash is the antithesis to a cat's natural instinct to get out of something they're caught up in. This is a cat's nature. It's instinctual and there for a reason. It's in their genes, and can be traced back to their wild ancestors.
If you can get your cat to walk on a leash, bravo to you. I can't.
I don't think cats should have leashes. Besides, my cat just spreads out her legs and lays on her stomach when you put a leash on her, and she's an indoor/outdoor cat.
@samecool My best advice for you is to keep her indoor for a few days till she begins to miss being outdoors. Then take her to a wide open area like I talked about that she's not used to or familiar with. Since she's allowed outdoors, take her some place new and far away from your neighborhood to leash train her. Remember...the key here is unfamiliar to put her on alert and so she will WANT to explore her new surroundings and will WANT to follow you as her only safety net in a strange place.
I think there should be more education on cats. I kno cats are intelligent and loving towards there owners. And I think there ought to be more books and encouragement on cat walking and obedience. Like 4-H for cats, where young ppl can learn about handling cats.
A lot of ppl I kno think cats are boring, but if ppl knew how to play with them and walk them, than cats wouldn't be seen as that animal that jus lays on the furinature.
I just got my cat a harness/leash. He wears a collar with license already and doesn't mind it, so with the harness on he doesn't mind so much. Yes it it possible to train an adult cat to walk on a leash (check on Youtube, you will see videos of owners walking with their cat/s.). I'm going to try training my cat (who is 2-years-old to walk on a leash.
I remember a long time ago I put a leash on my cat Simba and he layed out on the floor and refused to get up, he's a drama queen sometimes. I wanted to see how he took to the leash, he doesn't need to be walked, he's an indoor cat and gets plenty of exercise by running around all morning
Cats should be on a leash just like dogs. No one likes a "stray" cat and noone likes cat prints on their vehicle. Cat owners should be expected to put the same amount of time into training as dog owners.
I find it really scary when i see a cat cross a road really slowly.A year ago i was walking with a friend and we saw this cat who began to follow us across the road with but when it got to the middle this big grey bundle of fur decided to start rolling its self on the road while a car was approaching at high speed though fortunatly even though we coaxed it back to the pavement. I have seen so many cats walk really slowly crossing a road. So many drivers just dont care until its too late.
This is great, I have a garden and would love to let my cat roam free, but apart from the the big hungry foxs that have been responsible for nearly killing all the cats on my road except for one which is a house cat, then you have the neighbours out of control dogs that will go for a cat or small animal in a heartbeat. also i live on the end of a busy road so i dont fancy havin my cat run down like the cat that got hit by a van just recently.

Make sure you use a retractable leash. You're only keeping your cat safe outdoors. then just let him or her have the lead and basically "walk" you! LOL!! The retractable leash will help you cat to feel unfettered and they should just slowly start to explore. Patience is the key here. You can also try giving a little tug every now an then to encourage them to walk. But the whole point is to allow them to get used to it. Try letting them wear just the harness in the house first.

I think it's cruel to keep a cat indoors all it's life. I have a new Siberian kitten and I've been working with him on his leash so that he can SAFELY enjoy the outdoors. I also have a run for him in the backyard so that he can SAFELY go out when I put the dog outside. I only do so though when I'm home and can keep an eye on him. An outdoor unwatched cat is a dead cat. Sorry to be blunt but it's true!! Way too many dangers for kitty outdoors. My kitten learned to walk in only one day.

lol better to be seen as a crazy nut then to have one's cat meet a certain terrible fate. My cat is now 8 mo. old and loves being on his retractable leash/run outside. I just thread it through a clothes line I put up and he has the full run of the yard so he can explore all he wants and just be a cat...well, that is as much as I can safely allow him to be. He loves to just sit in the grass and pounce on whatever he happens to be "hunting" that day lol

@LdyWolf We have things called CAT FLAPS in the UK on back doors. Cats come and go as they please. Even Cat Food commercials often have cats going in and out of cat flaps to eat.
Dogs only have leashes on the street. At home nobody puts a dog on a leash in their garden to play, so why the hell should you a cat? If you are that worried you can supervise your cat in the garden without tying it up unnaturally.

@LdyWolf as long as the cat has a scratching post and toys to play with along with a window to look out of he will be happy. indoor cats live far longer than outdoor ones and if theyv never been out they adapt to indoors
sachinisking1 7 months ago
@LdyWolf You say it's "cruel to keep a cat indoors all it's life," but, do you really believe a cat knows anything about being outside if it doesn't go out? I mean, why is it "cruel?" The statistics say an indoor cat lives often twice as long as an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat. Cruel? I don't understand. What's cruel? Can a cat really comprehend it's being kept indoors as cruelty? That doesn't make sense. I know many, many seemingly-satisfied & happy, healthy indoor cats, including mine.
ProChoiceJesus 7 months ago
@ProChoiceJesus Thank you for your comment. In answer to your question, yes I do believe a cat knows about outside. It's called instinct. And cats, like all animals, have it very strong. Why else do you think wild animals born into captivity don't live as long? They "know" nothing other than being in captivity, yet their life spans are significantly shorter than those born in the wild. Feel free to do what you think is best for your cat. Just don't think he or she doesn't "know."

Most animals in captivity that are well kept and not victims of cruelty outlive their wild counterparts actually. Though there are some exceptions.

@MSIslave28 Quite a few "exceptions" actually. I know, because my daughter works at an animal sanctuary and is in charge of over 30 tigers and 5 lions. These animals are rescued from captivity type situations such as zoos, and circuses. Their life span, even in what amounts to "animal heaven" at this sanctuary is significantly shorter. Animals, much like people are meant to be free. I think it's our job as pet owners to make this happen for them as much and as safely as possible.

@LdyWolf Wow, you are so full of shit. A cat isn't going to die going out on it's own, your cat is going to have a miserably existance if it can't have any time away from you outdoors to go exploring. The only danger is the road and cats aren't as thick as you, they know not to go in it, retard.

Also, maybe try putting out some of her favorite food outside and wait to see if she comes to eat it. You might even rig up a surveillance cam. At least then you'd know if she was still alive, and approx what time she came to eat the food. Then you could make sure you were home at that time to let her in the house. I hope you find your kitty.

If an animal isn't use to a leash of course it will resist, but ppl like you want a quick and easy solution because you cannot take a challenge. A cat is just a little more work than a dog when it comes to accepting a leash, but that does not mean it shouldn't be done or CAN"T be done!

Cats do whatever they please. It is often joked that Humans dont own Cats, but on the contrary.
Cats are actually very self-sufficient generally; you don't need to bathe them, you don't need to brush them generally (I own two half-Persians and have never needed to), basically just feed them, make sure they've got water and clean their litter (if they're indoors), and make sure they don't get sick.
Vire70 1 year ago
@Vire70 Cats only own their owners if their owners don't display dominance, or if they are acquired when they are older and can't be trained. I have a cat, and I tell you he knows what he can't and can do, and knows there will be instant punishment if i catch him. They are animals and need to be trained and treated as such, they don't react to reason, they react to cause and effect. and if people didn't spoil their cats and treated them like children and let them do whatever they want

@AnimalsROCK271
It depends on what else your cat likes. If she likes petting and attention, then you might try petting her and then slowly moving your hand away from her and hoping that she follows. Keep doing it for a while and increase the distance your cat walks. Remember, when she does what you like, (walk forward) you should praise her with whatever she likes. If she isn't a "petting" fan, you can try tuna treats. (they love them) Or If she doesn't even like those, try real food.
Good Luck

renay11 1 year ago
@AnimalsROCK271 Yes. After getting her used to the retractable leash and harness by letting her wear both around the house till she gets use to them, pick her up with both leash and harness on and carry her out of the house. Hold her tightly, as she will be frightened if never outside before. Walk some distance from the house into a large open area with no obstacle to run to and hide under. Now set her down and give her full control of the retractable leash.
LdyWolf 5 months ago
@LdyWolf Let her take the lead, completely, and then simply quietly follow behind her. She will instinctively want to look for your house again or anything familiar, this will cause her to slowly begin to explore her new surroundings. If she seems overly upset, kneel down and pet her and talk softly and reassuringly to her. Make it as pleasant an experience as possible for her. If she just sits there and looks up at you, give a little tug and begin walking away from her.
LdyWolf 5 months ago
@LdyWolf This part is where the RL comes in handy. Because it will allow you to get a good 20 feet from her and will encourage her natural desire to follow you, as you are now the only familiar and SAFE thing in her world! It sounds mean, but so long as you continue to reassure her and keep her safe, if on a street, be watching for cars. I find that my kitty trained better late at night when most people were asleep so fewer distractions.
LdyWolf 5 months ago
@LdyWolf Just keep doing this every night and she will soon come to welcome her new found SAFE freedom and new places to explore with you. Also, it's a good idea as you walk back to your house to allow her to walk up to the front door and through it. This encourages her natural feline independence and gives her a sense of some control back to where she feels safer and begins to trust you more.
LdyWolf 5 months ago
@LdyWolf As she begins to feel safer and more comfortable with her walking you lol, as that is exactly what she is doing, begin to start out your walks closer and closer to your house. Eventually, she will be able to walk you right out your front door, ANTICIPATING her walk with you:) Sorry this has been so long...but you asked;0)

A warning for people walking a cat on a leash: your cat can get out of the leash like Houdini and STILL get runover. My cat got off a leash in seconds and luckily he did not run into traffic. I will never think that I can take him for a walk safely on a leash.

zeebamusic 2 years ago
@beten0ire Very important! Use a harness! Not just a leash. And make sure it is good and snug. My kitty is a Siberian, as those who know Siberians know they have a coat like a rabbit! He is smooth and silky, so I must be extra careful to keep his harness snug and check it often. Also, a RL helps the cat to feel more in control and not so tethered. Just make sure you're walking him or her in a wide open area to start training. Like a school or something of that nature during a quiet time of day.

"Walking" a cat isn't about treating it like a dog- I see it as a way to allow an indoor cat to experience being outside. Maybe other posters here don't, but since I live in a place where it wouldn't be safe to let my cat come and go as he pleases, I'd like to try and take him outside (using a harness, I guess) on supervised "walks".

cookiecrumble748 2 years ago
It's never too late to teach cats tricks. It just takes more time as they get older (since they become more independent and stubborn). If your cat knows how to stay, try making her stay with a harness on (using treats and praise). Once you do that, attach the leash. Don't use the video's method. Cat's HATE to be tugged on. They're dominant animals so don't force them. Train your cat to walk with you with the leash on the collar, but not in your hands. Have her do that for a while.
HYESUNGSWIFEYY89 2 years ago
Then, pick up the leash. She should be used to the idea of a leash attached to her collar regardless of whether or not you're holding it. When you're using treats, don't just drop it in front of her. Hold it in front of her nose and slowly move further away. She'll follow it instinctively. My cat learned fast. She loved treats and attention. She was around 2 (I think) when I found her. With your cat, it might take time and a lot of patience, but cat's are smart. Just persuade her. :)

@ShinkuDragon Yes, the earlier the better! It's like teaching a child a foreign language vs an adult. They will learn it much more quickly and it won't seem like such a new thing or a threat to their safety. Start putting a harness on your kitty right away so he or she will get used to wearing it. Make it a positive thing by giving a treat before and after putting it on. And also when taking it off again. It will quickly learn to associate "harness" with "Num nums"

markeyboy9944 2 years ago
Cats won't walk with leashes, not because they're stupid, but because they're smart. First of all, its not in their genes to be led, they like to lead.
Secondly, the cats you see going nuts when they're on a leash, that's how they would react if caught in something in the wild.....it's an instinctive response to get out of whatever they're caught in.
It would be good if cats could walk on a leash ......they'd get exercise, stay out of their neighbour's yards ......but you can't fight nature.

crackerdawg 2 years ago
@crackerdawg @crackerdawg If your cat is afraid then try this (although I hesitate to give this advice as it teaches bad habits lol) Get a RL and harness. Get the cat used to wearing it inside the house by using the treat method I mentioned. Once he or she is used to it, wait for a time when your cat is looking out your door to the outside world. A sliding glass door is ideal for this. Put the leash and harness on and then slowly open the door. he will do the rest, just hold tightly to the RL;)
LdyWolf 5 months ago
@ApocalypsePlough Wrong! That's where a RL comes in. Let the can walk YOU! You're simply there to keep it safe from danger. Once you realize this, it's a piece of cake. Don't try to change your cat's nature, by putting it through your idea of obedience training...adapt to his or her nature by using a RL and just letting him or her do what comes natural. To explore:)
LdyWolf 5 months ago
@LdyWolf - I have no idea what RL means.
I have never had a cat who would walk on a leash, and I've had quite a few cats in my lifetime.
Like I said, being on a leash is the antithesis to a cat's natural instinct to get out of something they're caught up in. This is a cat's nature. It's instinctual and there for a reason. It's in their genes, and can be traced back to their wild ancestors.
If you can get your cat to walk on a leash, bravo to you. I can't.

@samecool My best advice for you is to keep her indoor for a few days till she begins to miss being outdoors. Then take her to a wide open area like I talked about that she's not used to or familiar with. Since she's allowed outdoors, take her some place new and far away from your neighborhood to leash train her. Remember...the key here is unfamiliar to put her on alert and so she will WANT to explore her new surroundings and will WANT to follow you as her only safety net in a strange place.

I think there should be more education on cats. I kno cats are intelligent and loving towards there owners. And I think there ought to be more books and encouragement on cat walking and obedience. Like 4-H for cats, where young ppl can learn about handling cats.
A lot of ppl I kno think cats are boring, but if ppl knew how to play with them and walk them, than cats wouldn't be seen as that animal that jus lays on the furinature.

I find it really scary when i see a cat cross a road really slowly.A year ago i was walking with a friend and we saw this cat who began to follow us across the road with but when it got to the middle this big grey bundle of fur decided to start rolling its self on the road while a car was approaching at high speed though fortunatly even though we coaxed it back to the pavement. I have seen so many cats walk really slowly crossing a road. So many drivers just dont care until its too late.

This is great, I have a garden and would love to let my cat roam free, but apart from the the big hungry foxs that have been responsible for nearly killing all the cats on my road except for one which is a house cat, then you have the neighbours out of control dogs that will go for a cat or small animal in a heartbeat. also i live on the end of a busy road so i dont fancy havin my cat run down like the cat that got hit by a van just recently.
