Yes! Cats can be trained to walk on a leash. Some cats may catch on pretty quickly while other cats may not be interested at all. If you want to teach your cat to walk on a leash, then try to start the process when your cat is young. Older cats can still learn, but younger cats are often more willing. Harnesses and collars vary by breed and size so be sure to choose the appropriate one for your cat. Start out inside the house. Allow your cat to get used to having a collar and leash on or a harness and leash on while she’s indoors so she can’t panic and run away too far. When your cat is familiar with the leash and collar/harness then you can take her outdoors for a few minutes at a time until she is ready to walk.
