Walking your cat weird?

| Do people do this and is it weird? It’s better than letting your cat roam free to kill stuff, no? |

Not weird but different.
What's weird to me is a young woman, who I saw with her cat in Walmart. She was holding her cat to her chest as she walked through the store. I thought that it would serve her right if the cat escaped from her and disappeared. |

Same, but I like it better than just letting them outside. It's kind of cute. |

| My DH saw a neighbor doing this last week. I've never had a cat that like wearing a harness/leash. But there are a few that do, and I assume they are ones that were introduced to it early. |

| I think it's awesome. You have to train them while they're young. |

If the cats like it, I see no difference from walking a dog. And it's still better than people with their dogs in strollers 
My big concern would be if a dog decided it wanted to eat one of the cats and lunged away from its owner. There is no safe way to pick up a scared cat without full body armor. |

| Yes, it's weird, but it's a good kind of weird. |

I've seen it, and I love it. I think it's a smart compromise between keeping your cat inside, and letting it go out (provided your cat is content being out on a leash).

| I definitely find it weird. But I'm also in awe; how did you get your cat to do that? |

| I think it’s quirky and cute! Very sweet of you to care so much and want the cat to have the safest experience. Definitely go for it! |

My dog trained my cats to go in the back yard (only) and meow at the door to be let in. One cat comes running whenever I put the leash on the dog, and I’d love to take her! But I don’t want her to get a taste for freedom and start roaming, so a backyard cat she shall be.
And yes it’s weird, but I’m 40 and don’t care what you think, darn it! |
