How to train your cat on a leash

Is it possible to train a cat to walk with you? Yes it is and not hard to do. Patience, practice, time, and you will be walking with your cat soon.

The best time to start to train a cat to walk with a leash is when it is a kitten. When a kitten is small, needs to be taught the correct behaviors. Molding a kitten's behaviors is just as if we would do with children. They are new to the behaviors and do not really know what is right and wrong.
An older cat could be harder to train as it is set in some of its ways. With patience from both you and your cat, you will be able to train the cat to walk with a leash.

Let us get started with first you will need to purchase a leash for the cat. One thing you will want to do is search out the leash that will be suitable for both you and your cat. There are many different leashes on the market to day. Some are retract able with a setting on the holder to be able to allow just enough leash out for the cat. On the other hand, you can just let the cat have as much as they would like. This is nice for walking and for letting the cat to play, with control that they do not run off or get in to much trouble.

The other leashes are standard leashes with the average of five to 6 feet, would be a good length. Weight of the leash should be light. You would not want a heavy one like for a dog. This will put to much weight on the cat and be uncomfortable.
Another item that you will need to consider is a harness or collar for the cat. A harness is the best for a cat.. With purchasing a collar you will want to make it very narrow one and light. When looking for one keep in mind that around the cats neck you need to give a lot of room for it but not to lose. Harness should be loose and comfortable for a cat. Being to tight can cause the cat to get sores and end up going to the vet for treatment.

Once you get the leash, collar, or harness, you will want to play with the cat with the item. This allows the cat to get use to it and put its scent on these items. Once your cat has been able to do this, the next thing you will want to do it, start with the harness. Put the harness on the cat as loose as you can get it, just place it on the cat, depending on the reaction of the cat you can leave it on for a short time or if the cat does not want anything to do with it, then you might have to go back and play with the cat. This step is very important, if you force the cat to wear the harness, they are not going to be happy at all with the harness or with you. Take your time with all the steps.

After the cat is wearing the harness loose, then it is the time to tighten the harness up until it is the right comfort for the cat. At this point, you will want to give the cat time to wear the harness. Once you see that is going good. Now is the time to attach the leash Remember first to have the cat play with the leash. Put the leash on and get the cat use to having it on. Then you will want to start walking the cat inside, until the cat is doing well. Once the cat is comfortable with the leash then it is time to go for the walk.

When walking with the cat makes sure, they do not have a lot of leash to run in directions they feel is necessary. The neighbors pets will be out and your cat might want to see them. Have your cat walk with you and not the cat walking you.
Now that you are set, you can exercise with your cat, as they need the exercise also.

Re: is it cruel to keep a cat inside that used to be an outdoor cat?
AMEN. I agree on all counts. As an aside, my 3 year old cat Rudy slipped out unnoticed one day a few months ago. Apparently he had a high time, even though I grabbed him in the yard within an hour. After his escape, he constantly whined at the door to go out. So we got him a harness and leash and took him on
