Do you want to spice up your cat's life? Do you want to allow your cat to enjoy the outdoors and use some of their built-in instinct to hunt without actually letting them capture any small birds? Do you want to be noticed by other people? Then take your cat for a walk!
1. Purchase a cat harness and leash from a pet supply store. Your cat might like rhinestones on her harness, or he might like a leopard print for the big hunts.
2. Your cat should be allowed to become acquainted with the harness and leash at his/her own pace. Leave them near your cat's bed or bowls and don't make a big deal about them.
3. After the cat has lost interest in the harness, try to put it on him/her. Keep at it with short attempts until the cat is okay with wearing the harness around the house.
4. Lead your cat outside on the leash for short trials at first, then for longer periods. It may take a week but eventually your cat will enjoy being walked and love being in the great big wild outdoors. Next thing you know, your cat will be waiting by the front door for his next walk.
Cats need exercise, and walking them can be a great way to exercise them as well as relieve boredom. Cat owners know that a happy cat causes fewer problems indoors. Maybe the furniture can yet be saved.
