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?

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 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...
