Tonight E and I took Louis across to the park for a walk... A couple of others out for a walk couldn't take their eyes off us as we followed Louis around on his lead....Walking a cat is the opposite of walking a dog - you are the one that tends to 'follow' rather than 'lead'. I thought he may have been afraid as he is an indoor cat however he just loved it and we are now going to try with Matilda. She is not as placid as Louis but we hope that she works it out that the lead means 'outside'... This I believe would lower her stress level and ours. At the moment she is on supervised walks in our very tiny backyard - not at all satisfying for any of us...

Awww, he is such a beautiful kitty! I think it is a lovely idea to take Louis for a walk in your park. Cats might not like leads and collars as much as dogs, but they love to get out of their house, so being on a leash is a good compromise for owner and cat (or should I say Cat and Slave)
