Cat-walking nanny-level guide

Cat walking and nanny-level guide, a must-have for walking and raising cats!

So what kind of cat is suitable for walking?

01. First of all, the breed

Cats such as Chinese garden cats, Siamese cats, leopard cats, and other breeds with more outgoing personalities will be relatively more receptive to cat walking. .

02. The second factor is age

Kittens under 1 year old have poor resistance and are not suitable for taking out for a walk. Then, cats aged 2-4 years are in a period of strong receptivity, active and curious, so you can try to cultivate their outdoor hobbies.

Note: No matter what age group, you must be vaccinated and dewormed before you can take it out for a walk.

03. Preparation before going out for training

You need to choose a cat leash that is not easy to break free. The basic standard requirements for the selection of the leash are that the cat will not fall off easily after wearing it. It is comfortable to move without stiffness or struggle. The first choice for cat walking leashes is the I-shaped rope type and the vest type. Since each cat has a different body shape and personality, you can only buy them all and try them out slowly.

The first stage of training: indoor walking

04. Preparation before going out for training

If the cat’s reaction to the shoulder is within the acceptable range, then Let it move freely indoors with the shoulder strap, and let it gradually get used to the feeling of wearing the shoulder strap. When you can move freely while wearing a shoulder bag, you can add a leash for walking the cat. The owner will hold the leash and walk slowly behind the cat. When this behavior has been fully accepted by the cat, the outdoor training stage can begin!

The second stage of training: outdoor walking

05. Preparation before going out for training

Start at the door of the house. After putting on the cat leash, Open the door and let it walk freely. All the owner has to do is to follow the cat silently. When he first started training, he liked to get into some grass and dark corners, so he could pick him up in time. During the entire cat walking process, it is wrong to pull or drag the cat along. When walking a cat for the first time, it is recommended that you need a quiet and enclosed space in the corridor or garden near your home.

Direct contact with an environment full of unfamiliar sounds and smells is too exciting for most cats, and they can easily be frightened. During this process, if the cat shows any refusal behavior, please stop walking the cat in time to reduce stress. After all, nothing is more important than the cat’s health. Finally, try a new open outdoor environment, but not all environments are suitable. Areas that are too crowded, noisy, and have too many motor vehicles should be avoided.

Key points for walking a cat: The real walking of a cat is not about taking the cat out and dragging it around, but about the cat walking you in a happy and happy state. Yes, you read that right, the cat walks you, not you.
