Walking the cat??

[mummybugeyes]

Ok some of you might know if you read my other thread that i have just gto a new cat anyway i was wanting to teach it to walk on a lead so i could take it for walks with my children I was just wondering do you think this is weird ? and do you walk your cat?

we used to wak our cat when it was a kitten but when he got older we didnt.

our poor cat he has been missing for a year. mustve gotten run over or something but we'll never know. :crying:

i dont think its weird....:no:

I think its cute, good exercise for you and the cat too.
and dr harry did a bit on it last year so there must be plenty out there who do it, if I had a cat I would.

Yeah i ahd a friend who walked there cat and she said after a while the cat learns how to walk on the lead and begins to enjoy it im just worried seeing we live on sorta of large properties here that the cat will get ideas and go for walks without me and not come back

My grandmother used to walk her siamese cats. They loved it. You just have to be extra careful and walk them where it is quiet, due to dogs. Some dogs are fine, but to others it a a novelty and they want to play, or they just don't like em.

Don't think it is weird, but it does depend on the cat whether it is successful. Some cats don't like it.

I dont walk my cat, I think it is a bit weird but at the same time it would be a sight to see! I dont think it being weird would stop me anyway if I wanted to do it. I saw the cutest thing last weekend, a little girl riding on a scooter with her dog running beside her and a rabbit in a sling around her neck. Yes it was weird to see but soooo sweet

i think its weird although when I finally get my pet pig I will be walking that on a leash..

I used to walk my cat. I trained her as a kitten to walk on a lead, then once she got older she would just walk around the block with me, no lead.
I loved it!! Though many people think I was weird for doing it...

I don't think it's weird at all.When my cat was young I used to have him on lead and harness to go outside and he was fine on it,no dramas at all.

I used to walk my cat as when I got her, I lived in an apartment, then I stayed at my sisters apartment... so we both walked her.

A lot of the residents in Randwick thought it was adorable and didn't think cats could be walked.
At first it was a struggle to get her to accept the harness.. but that only took a couple of days when she realised - harness = outside = YAY :p

I clicked on I do walk the cat n dont think its weird, because where my mum lives cats r not allowed outside unless on a lead. Her cat loves the lead! She one tied out the front for her n another tied out the back as well as taking her for walks on the lead every night, she really does enjoy it! She actually gets really restless if she cant go for her walk because of the rain, she goes totally feral LOL
