Got a bold, confident, curious cat? You know the type the feline who loves snooping in drawers, watching the happenings in your street from a window perch. He may gain a lot of mental and physical stimulation benefits from leashed walks with you. Book an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination to make sure your cat is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations to reduce his risk of contracting a contagious disease outdoors. Select a harness and leash designed for cats and not for little dogs. Keep in mind that cats possess flexible spines and therefore, can easily wiggle out of dog harnesses. Remember to be patient. Start by introducing your cat to the harness and leash inside your home. Let him become accustomed to it by first placing them around his food bowl or near his scratching post. Accept the catwalk style. Cats, unlike dogs, prefer to meander, stop and start and walk in all directions, depending on what attracts their attention.
