I walk my cat everywhere with one of these and they’re great. It’s a struggle getting it on but once I do, he gets excited for his walk.
The secret to walking a cat is to let them go where they want, within reason of course (which is what the harness is for). If you try to force them to stay on a path like a dog, it’s never going to happen. They will sit down and protest. They will take you on a adventure but it’s a fun way to see the places the cat wants to go. And if they protest too much anyway, a gentle tug on the leash should get them moving again because no cat wants to get dragged. (If they keep sitting down it’s time to end the walk.)
Edit: Obviously this won’t work for every cat, but if yours is always trying to sneak outside, they’ll likely be receptive to walks once they get used to the harness.
Edit 2: They should be walked for at least an hour minimum, ideally several times a week, if not daily. This is especially true for indoor cats (and all cats should be indoor cats if you care about your local small animal population).
(By the way, get them a harness with a lot of padding. I replaced the one in the first photo cause it was digging into their skin . And sorry for the shitty image quality. The lens was scratched up and my hands are shaky. I got a new phone after taking these.)
Honestly not a bad idea, but maybe have a harness and leash on him in case he decides to be stupid and/or somebody brings another pet into the store.
This one might be overwhelmed by the concept of plaid, but I’m sure you could find one in camo or that says ‘Fish Fear Me’ or something like that.
