To teach your cat to walk on a leash, you can follow these steps:

  1. Start by getting your cat used to wearing a harness. Allow your cat to wear the harness indoors for short periods of time to get them comfortable with it.

  2. Attach the leash to the harness and let your cat drag it around the house under supervision. This will help them get used to the feeling of being on a leash.

  3. Once your cat is comfortable with the harness and leash, start by taking short walks indoors. Use treats or toys to encourage your cat to walk with you.

  4. Gradually transition to walks outdoors in a safe and quiet area. Allow your cat to explore at their own pace while gently guiding them with the leash.

  5. Be patient and consistent with your training. Some cats may take longer to adjust to walking on a leash, so take it slow and provide positive reinforcement.

Remember to always prioritize your cat's comfort and safety when training them to walk on a leash.
