leash

My Cat walks on a leash. When my Mother watches her, her Community says all pets must be on a leash. When Mom takes her out, there are other neighbors in the Community that have their Cats on a leash as well. It is funny to see cats on them though..I have to admit. :lmao:

Immediately feed him his favorite meal

Praise him for being such a good cat, and give him some loving hugs.

Teach kitty to follow you by talking to him in a cajoling manner

If you have more than one cat, it may actually be easier to train the second one, because she will want to follow the first.

I suspect the author of this training how-to has cats confused with dogs.

My cats eat the same thing every day, so there's no such thing as a "favorite meal". They glare suspiciously at "cat treats" and won't fall for bribery.

They have a different idea of what constitutes a "good cat" than I. It's similar to being a "good" Blood, or a "good" Crip. They consider loving hugs something to be tolerated in exchange for food, and not a reward.

"Cajoling" my cats turns them smug and superior, which causes them to play hard to get. Yelling at them has the same effect. Ignoring them, same thing.

My little non-conformists are not interested in what their yardmates are doing. They revel in their individuality.

Teaching them to walk on a leash would only work if I *didn't* want them to do it. If I laid the harness on the dining table and sternly forbid them to touch it, THEN they would want it desperately.

I'm reading this and nodding as I picture each one of your precious darlings and their own individual personalities!

As for my Siamese, Simon,(who is really only an indoor cat) I am quite sure he would want to have nothing to do with the indignities of a leash! :drama:

I've seen this at soccer. Had to do a double take. The cat seemed fine with it. The dogs in attendance did nothing but stare at the cat.

Had a friend with an Egyptian Mau it was about the size of a beagle and would walk on a leash.

My cat Smokey has walked on a leash since he was about two years old. He's an indoor cat. I was bored one day and put a leash and collar on him and he loved it. All I had to do was hold up his leash and collar and shake it a little bit and he would come running from where ever he was sleeping, because he knew it meant he could go outside. When I did get him outside, he wold walk right beside me, better than most dogs. He would trot too, if I picked up my pace. He listened really well,and still does.

That's not a cat. It's a dog in a cat suit.

There is this video on youtube where this woman had her kitty on a leash at the airport. He just sat and watched the people & carts go by- very calm and seemed to be enjoying himself.

I think I am going to use a walking jacket. It seems to be better for training. The kitty I'll be training is just a few months old right now so I'm wondering if it is too soon to train or is sooner, better!!! I just don't want to wait too long and end up with a non-conformists. :lol:

Pix,

I used to have a cat that did that... totally cute.
