Start by getting your cat used to wearing a harness indoors. Reward with treats and praise. Gradually attach the leash for short periods indoors.
Once your cat is comfortable with the harness and leash indoors, move to a quiet outdoor area. Let your cat explore at their own pace.
Use positive reinforcement to encourage walking on the leash. Reward with treats when your cat walks beside you. Be patient and consistent.
Allow your cat to lead the way during walks. Avoid pulling on the leash. Let them explore while keeping a close eye for safety.
Practice makes perfect. Take short walks regularly to help your cat get used to the leash. Enjoy the bonding experience with your feline friend.
Remember, not all cats will enjoy walking on a leash. Respect your cat's comfort level and don't force them. Keep training sessions positive and rewarding.
