Like dogs, your feline friend, can be trained to walk on a leash. Before taking him for a walk, just make sure that your cat’s vaccination is up to date, to keep him protected from potential risks that he might encounter as you take him outdoors.

Leash training is best done while your cat is still young and already learns to respond when called. Introducing a harness to your cat will be the hardest part of his training and may take several weeks to months.

A harness with the right fit specifically designed for cats must be used, instead of a simple collar to avoid choking or possible escape. Once he gets comfortable wearing a harness, you can then proceed with the leash. Fasten the leash on the harness and have your cat get used to the weight and the feeling of having it on. You can take small steps by taking him to short trips outdoor. Avoid overworking your pet so he will be looking forward to another short excursion with you.
