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

Why dogs bark

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.
