my view on
It is very common for the dog to walk with you on a leash or loose. We are not surprised and sometimes only find it disturbing if the dog is running loose or if this one ?? on the line ?? jumps up against you. After all, not everyone likes dogs. We do not find it strange that the dog goes everywhere on a leash. Even in many shops, the dog just walks in. If someone has a cat with them, it is suddenly a lot more nuanced
.
Who is and who is not?
Walking your dog along the coastline or through the forest is wonderful. However, if someone is on a leash with a cat, that is a lot more remarkable. Or in fact, sometimes it is certainly not appreciated. After all, there are quite a few dogs who get stressed out by cats or worse. But this public place is for everyone and yet joggers, cyclists, horse riders and just walkers are tolerated. Moreover, aren’t the owners of the animals responsible for these animals (and their behavior) and not the other way around?
That sometimes makes it difficult to use the ?? trained ?? cat to take on a leash.
Cat in stress?
In order not to stress the cat if you want to take it with you (you often see this in cats that do not go outside their own garden walls), there are some safe options. You cannot always take a cat with you just like that. A cat that is not used to walking on a leash may lie flat on its stomach. The cat gets stressed, because you take it out of its safe territory and the cat doesn’t really experience that as pleasant. In addition, if a cat is not used to walking on a leash, it does not know what to do for that reason either. The cat can even get into a hyper, so getting started this way is definitely a no go.
Cat on a leash
If you plan to bring the cat on a leash, it is good to do so from an early age. Increase from a few minutes to an hour, for example. Then take the cat with you to different places, but with a basket or bag where he can safely jump back in if it all gets too much. Do not force anything, because that will be counterproductive.
A basket or bag with an open front allows the cat to see everything and experience the outside world. and still sit safely in the bag. A shoulder bag that hangs against you is preferably a safe option. Moreover, if the cat really doesn’t want to walk on a leash, but you want to take it with you? the open bag is a great option.
Do this ritual regularly and leave it as ?? ordinary ?? to be. It is not an exceptional situation, at least that is how the cat must experience it. You are always there and if the cat has a bond with you, the cat will trust you. Never give the cat to someone else just like that, as you can sometimes walk the dog by someone else.
Since there are people who consider the cat in this way as ?? exceptional ?? see, can the cat ?? look ?? to have. If the cat is used to other people and they want to pet such a funny cat in the basket or on a leash, allow this. With children it makes sense to be a little more careful, because especially young children can sometimes act uncontrollably and the cat could lash out or scare away from the stress. Also with other people, the cat should be able to go along as normally as possible. If you see it as normal, it will be more normal for the cat too.
Natural behavior?
Is the cat’s natural behavior on a leash? No, but in fact that applies to many animals, after all we have cultivated all kinds of things.
We are not used to it, because the cat lets you go outside alone (for example, to poop in the front yards in the neighborhood). But yes, we once taught the dog to be able to walk on a leash and just look when you suddenly put an untrained dog on a leash, how it reacts. That can sometimes take a long time if it is to be okay.
For the cat, if you let the cat walk with a harness from an early age and regularly attach the leash to it, the animal will understand that it must walk on a leash. Not always as compliant as the trained dog, because the cat is even more curious than the dog and certainly slower.
Every animal can have space
In fact, it shouldn’t matter, because humans and animals must be given space in nature, but the practice is somewhat different. The ferret on the leash also remains a “freak show” to this day. and the cat is on a leash? although you see it more often? also as ?? remarkable ?? entitled. But that actually says everything about humans. In the brain, it’s hard to understand that if something isn’t mundane, it can still be okay.
As everyone ?? and therefore also every animal lover ?? now that it can be left as it is, it only becomes more colorful with all kinds of different animals.
