Training a cat to walk on a leash can be a great way to give your feline friend some exercise while also keeping them safe from outdoor dangers. Here are some tips and tricks for getting started:

  • Start by getting your cat used to wearing a harness. Put the harness on your cat for short periods of time each day, gradually increasing the amount of time they wear it.
  • Once your cat is comfortable wearing the harness, attach the leash and let them drag it around the house under your supervision.
  • Once your cat is comfortable with the harness and leash, start taking short walks around your home or yard. Reward your cat with treats and praise to encourage good behavior.
  • Gradually increase the length and frequency of your walks, and always keep a close eye on your cat to make sure they're not getting into anything dangerous.
  • Remember, not all cats will enjoy leash walking, so be patient and don't force your cat to do something they're not comfortable with.
