If you want to learn how to walk your cat on a leash spend the time researching the subject properly as it takes a lot of effort, patience, respect and love, and some cats will simply refuse to ever do it even after all that.

All the people crying abuse: Sure, these people aren't too bright, but they are not abusing their animal. Clearly you've never been around an actual cat for any length of time. You can't make them do anything they don't want to. This is a simple fact of cat nature.

He will actually walk in front of me down the sidewalk. he even walked some in the pet parade but couldn't keep up the pace with the dogs the whole way and it was upsetting some of the dogs.

Thank you. There are one too many "cat lovers" on the internet, like AbbeysMom. By that I mean, those who seem to think they know all about cats, yet don't seem to have any sort of clue.

"Oh, you liked that vase? Well you should have never put a leash on me, now look at your vase in pieces on the floor, let that be a lesson, now feed me".

You OBVIOUSLY don't own cats, this couple just took a video of their car being retarded on a leash when it didn't want to walk and posted it on youtube. People do this all the time, the cat was never dragged around, besides the short span on the WOODEN floors! The cat was not in pain in anyway, nor was rebelling in a violent manner, he simply didn't want to walk right then. If the cat was in any sort of pain or ill treatment, I can assure you, the cat would have made that apparent. To Abby's Mother, I do hope you realize what a harness is, and maybe you should do some research on them before posting comments where you have no idea what you are talking about. You simply stated that a harness is a "loop around the midsection" as it is not. What I deem cruel is a cat that could forcibly be controlled by a loop around the NECK. You're very stuck up about your own methods and were so torn by this video you didn't even HEAR the camera man say "don't drag him on the ground" AKA "don't actually hurt him". If the couple didn't care for their cat they wouldn't have been filming, or even walking their cat in the first place. Please think before you make stuck up, uneducated comments. The only response I will accept to this is one where you show me the link to actual cat abuse, and promptly apologize to the other people on this page for defiling it with no-cat-know-how, and narcissism. Idiots like AbbysMom should think before posting dumb comments. I'd just like to say to all the people who automatically deem this is "cruel".

My cat has walked on a leash since she was a kitten because it was done incrementally, with lots of love and encouragement, and because she likes being with me. This poor cat, dragged by a loop around his midsection, is obviously hating the situation and is now imprinted that leashes hurt and are not pleasant. NOT a good training method. Idiots like this should not own pets. it is beyond cruel to haul the cat around like that – it probably hurts him to be dragged by the harness across the floor.
