The best place to walk your cat is in your own back garden. Then they are close to their home territory and there is less risk of them encountering any dangers. If you do take your cat further afield, avoid busy areas, roads and anywhere there could be dogs.

The first step to taking your kitty for a stroll is to select your equipment. Look for a secure harness made for cats with a ring on the back to attach to a leash. Never attach the leash to their collar or anything that fits around their neck. When in doubt, ask your vet or store personnel for help with size and fit.
