Not only Dogs, but cats can also be leash trained. Make sure to get a leash designed for cats. Let your cat familiarize itself with the leash. Let it smell the leash. Reward your cat after putting the leash on it in various ways. Try putting the leash on properly and letting the cat walk around with it loose. After that, pick up the leash and follow your cat around. Once it seems to be comfortable with it, try taking it for a walk outside.
Key Takeaways:
- Indoor cats have a lifespan over 2 times as long as outdoor cats. That doesn’t mean your cat can’t enjoy the outdoors, however.
- Cats can be trained to walk on a harness, much like dogs. The harness should not clip to a collar which the cat can easily slip out of, but be worn like a “jacket”.
- Before heading outdoors, make sure your cats harness fits well and he tolerates it by allowing him to drag the leash around behind him. Only then, take your cat outdoors on the harness and leash.
“There is no question that indoor cats live longer and healthier lives. The average life expectancy for an indoor cat is 12 to 15 years vs. 4 to 5 years for an outdoor cat. To ensure that they also live happy lives, it is imperative that cat guardians provide a stimulating environment.”
