Those who care about the safety of their pet prefer to walk the cat in such a way that its movements are under control.
Not all owners with a cat at home uncontrollably release the animal into the street. If the cat rarely leaves the apartment, it will be safer and more convenient for her if the owners take her for a walk using special walking equipment - a collar, harness, leash.
A cat on a leash is quite common. Many owners, who care about the safety of their pet, go for walks without fail using a leash and harness. This guarantees the safety of the cat and peace of mind for the owner.
Cat leashes and harnesses are available in abundance at any pet supply store. The most suitable models are those made of nylon elastic tape. The material should be as light as possible - it can be cotton or nylon. When choosing a leash, weight must be taken into account - cats are very sensitive, and even lightweight structures can cause them discomfort.
Why does a cat need a leash?
Not all cats will respond to the call of their owners, let alone follow the commands voiced by them. A cat released for a walk usually runs to explore the territory or hides in the nearby bushes, from where it will be quite problematic to retrieve it. To keep the animal under control, the best way is to use a special harness and leash.
The leash will serve as a guarantee that the cat will not get under the car, will not get lost and will not get lost. They use it when moving, visiting a veterinary clinic, when traveling in public and private transport.
