Harnessing Your Cat for Outdoor Walks
Tired of Cat Naps? Try Cat Walks UNLEASH YOUR FELINE FRIEND’S OUTDOOR POTENTIAL
The cat is out of the bag: Dogs are not the only household pets you can walk on a leash. While cats are best known for galavanting out of the house to partake in their own adventures, they can also be taken on walks by their owners, much like their canine contemporaries. This is a great way to bond with your cat while helping both of you stay fit and ward off boredom. If you want to take your cat for a walk, here are two tips to help your stroll go smoothly. Use a Harness, Not Just a Leash While dogs may be content with you attaching a leash to their collar, cats tend to dislike it and can become uncooperative. They will do their best to shake off their collar — and can even end up choking themselves as they do so. A leash attached to a harness will allow them to explore more freely while stopping them from choking themselves. However,
make sure you are getting a high-quality cat harness rather than one made for dogs, as the specialized harnesses are both safer and more comfortable. Paws-itive Reinforcement If you want your cat to be cordial and cooperative on your neighborhood walk, then make sure to pack a lot of treats for them! Training your cat to walk on a leash will be a process, and in order to meow -ster the basics, you want to encourage good behavior with treats and positive reinforcement. If your cat learns that walking with you will be rewarded with a yummy snack, they are much more likely to go along for the walk! However, it is also important to realize that your cat may just not enjoy walking on a leash, and if so, it’s okay to leave them be. But for open-minded cats in need of fresh air, a walk can be just what you both need to deepen the pet-owner bond, burn calories, and explore your surroundings together!
