Walking your cat outside is entirely possible.
In this article, we will tell you how you can easily and quickly accustom your animal to walking on the street.
Should cats be walked
Whether the pet will go for walks is up to the owner to decide.
There is no clear answer to the question of whether you should walk your cat.
In general, you can take a domestic cat outside at any time of the year.
Walking allows you to diversify your leisure time, improve health, increase vitality, and improve physical fitness.
On the other hand, it can be dangerous for the cats' health.
How to start walking your cat
You don't have to walk your cat. Nevertheless, if you have such an opportunity, and the cat shows interest in the outside world, then you can go for a walk.
The main condition is that it must be safe.
Give your pet the appropriate vaccinations. You can’t start walking right away - immunity must be established.
Carry the kitten in your arms. The pet must get used to noise, new smells and sensations.
Accustom your pet to the street gradually.
The first walk should not be long, and it is advisable to spend it in a quiet, secluded place.
It is important to hold the cat in your arms. Over and over again, the walking time is increased.
When the pet feels more confident, it can be lowered to the ground.
Getting outside stimulates all the senses and can be a great pleasure for cats who feel cooped up indoors.
If you decide to let cats outside, take the necessary precautions to keep your kitty healthy and safe.
Cats that are outdoors are more likely to pick up fleas or ticks and become infected with infectious diseases.
An animal can also become poisoned by eating a poisonous plant or insect.
