Choose a comfortable, escape-proof harness made specifically for cats.
Get a Harness
Use a sturdy leash that gives kitty some roaming room but won't get tangled.
Proper Leash
Take it slow, reward with treats. Let kitty get used to wearing a harness indoors first.
Slow Training
Make sure to ID chip cat. Only go out when supervised & avoid cars, dogs.
Safety First
Bring toys & treats. Have a walking route planned with stops to climb, play.
Have an Agenda
Follow kitty's lead, don't force anything. Be prepared to pick them up if needed.
Go at Their Pace
Watch for signs of stress like crouching, dilated pupils. End walk if cat gets scared.
