Should you walk your cat on a leash: useful information for all owners of four-legged pets
A new trend among pet owners has long been noticeable to the naked eye.
If previously only dogs were walked on a leash, now it is not uncommon to see cat owners walking their pets.
And if you are wondering whether you should get your cat used to the outdoors, let's look at all the pros and cons of such walks.
Should you walk your cat on a harness?
There are actually several good reasons to keep a cat that has never been outside indoors.
Firstly, you will be absolutely sure that nothing will happen to your cat.
Of course, we are not talking about the animal being hit by a car or getting into a fight with street bullies, since it will be next to you.
However, there is a risk of picking up fleas or ticks and bringing them home.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account the character of your pet. Just imagine: if it is afraid of even one stranger, what will happen when you take the cat outside, where there are significantly more strangers?
However, if you are confident in your pet, you can gradually accustom her to walks. At first, the duration of such walks should not be several minutes, and the interval can be increased over time.
And, most importantly, don't forget to put a flea collar on your pet to avoid parasite bites.
