Owners of Pets Articles about dogs, cats, birds and all other pets!

Whats that on the leash?! A Chihuahua, a Shih tzu, a Yorkie? No, its my cat! and I’m proud to walk him in his kitty harness with his florescent pink leash. Like many cat fanciers, I felt cruel listening to my cats chatter at the birds outside, exclaiming how lucky they are to have a window between them, or they would be dinner. Well no longer, I’ve decided to take a stand, er a walk. I decided to start walking my cat. I know now that I’m neither crazy(because of walking my cat) nor alone in walking my cat on a leash. My cat who allows me to walk him is primarily an indoor cat, and after I made some slight mods to an existing dog harness and the rest is cat walking history. At the website walkyourcat.com there is a neat book about… you guessed it walking your cat, it seems pretty cool especially for those of you with indoor cats like me. In my opinion you should get to know kittys actions while walking him for the first time, and if you plan on walking kitty regularly please check with your Vet about immunizations that aren’t normally given to indoor only cats. If you live in a metro area like most of us do try to find a nice park to walk at, reducing the risk of broken glass and other hazards. My park secret is to walk kitty at night when the dog lovers have left for the evening, or early morning before they show up, after all theres no need for fur to fly unnecessarily.
