Many cat owners believe that their pet is no worse than a dog and deserves to explore the world around them just as fully.
For this reason, cats, just like dogs, are taken along for walks.
However, the street is a place full of dangers, so a leash is the only possible solution to protect your pet from possible troubles.
Today we will talk about how to prepare an animal for a leash, because such a decision is not natural for a cat, so it requires some preliminary work.
To begin with, it is worth noting that the best choice would be a harness - it does not cause pain to the cat, is comfortable and at the same time allows a person to control the pet's behavior.
Before heading outside, introduce your cat to a new accessory.
It is worth putting on the harness for the first time before feeding or playing - this way the animal will associate this item with something pleasant.
After several “walks” around the apartment, when the cat gets used to the harness and stops paying attention to it, you can go outside the home.
The owner is required to have maximum concentration during the first walks, because the unfamiliar environment can push the cat to unexpected actions.
