So OH is obsessed with taking the cats out for walks on leashes. I think it's ridiculous. Thoughts?

she lived a couple doors down from a pair of guys who wore cowboy hats (in the heart of the cockney end of london, mind) the whole time, owned a horsebox (miles from any grass) but had no horse.

good times.

1) Putting a rabbit on a leash is just plain stupid. *OH whistles and turns the other way* At least cats appreciate going outside and walking around. They can also learn to accomodate the leash tension and/or owner's direction.

2) We have no intention of turning Colin and Raisin into outdoor cats. They will be indoor cats who are entitled to an outdoor treat here and there.

3) Letting them out without a leash is scary anyway. We treat them like gold, but we're still afraid that they might not come back one day. (not just running away, but hurt, killed, diseased, extra vet bills, etc.)

Sometimes I would take my old cat to the park, and as soon as I let her out, she would scramble frantically to get back into her cage. Sometimes, if she was feeling very daring, she would leave her cage and hide under a bush until it was time to leave.

We didn't go to the park too often.

our first cat would always try to sneak outside if you didn't guard the door while it was open... but once outside he'd just hide under part of the dining room which stuck out from the rest of the foundation of the house. He would come back inside only when sprayed with water from the hose.

This was probably a result of carrying him outside "as a treat" so he came to believe the outdoors was part of his domain... didn't make that mistake with the next two cats and they have never tried to leave the house.

Ya see that's the thing. I have no problem letting them out occasionally, but I really doubt you can do that and not have them want to go out all the time. I think it's kinda teasing them.

just chiming in...

walking cats is totally gay. my mom bought a leash like 8 years ago when we had a rabbit. she tried to get that thing on the bunny, it never would let her. i lol'd. then one day the rabbit got out and wouldn't come back. because rabbits are ****ing stupid. i think its carcass is in the woods behind my yard somewhere. oh well. that rabbit was an ******* anyway. plenty of other bunnies were cool. this one sucked imo.

sorry for the derail, cats are cool tho OH!

You walk dogs.
Cats walk you.

I know you're imagining a cat on a leash walking down the street with me. It doesn't work that way. They're scared of the street and sidewalks. They're scared of cars. You can let them roam around in the backyard or in a grassy field, but that's about it.

He did nothing but try to hide as much as he could and was clearly scared as hell. After that I decided that he would be better off staying in his crate while we were driving and doing his thing only once we got to our hotel.
