Walking a cat always seemed impossible to me, until I read this book. Now I'm convinced it can definitely be done--and that it also makes life much more enjoyable for indoor cats. (I love all the info the authors include about feline psychology and body language, too. Fascinating stuff!)

This guide gave me really good direction and a place to start in teaching my cat to walk on a lead. It walks you through the different steps of training from start to finish, and brings up all the challenges you're likely to have. There's a lot about how cats think, which is great - it's the basis for any kind of training. Now I've always had cats, done a little training, and read training books, so I was therefore able to quite easily grasp the authors' concepts.

I think the ideas are very well explained for those just beginning in training, and there's more than enough info for intermediate trainers who just need a few guidelines and direction.

Besides, their ideas are working - my cat is already doing quite well!

I've been walking three cats for about 6 years now and got this book to see if I could learn anything more. It was a very thoughtful book. I found that I did learn a few things and believe anyone can walk their cat no matter what the age. I would recommend it to those that worry about letting their cat outdoors alone. I walk mine for 25 minutes every morning and night just around the yard. Gives me a lot of peace knowing that they are safe.

I am proud to report that it CAN be done! I can now successfully walk my two indoor kitties. One LOVES it and gets his leash and harness and drags it to the door to go. The other loved it while it was warm, but does NOT want to be outside now. It is not too hard to walk the two of them because the siamese listens and follows verbal commands. One thing: I had to switch from a regular harness to a PET MET walking jacket because my boy cat could wrangle out of his harness. (If I am walking two, I can't always get to the side of each of them.) All in all a GREAT Book!
