Hello all, been a while! I have some questions about walking cats outside. My cat is getting bored inside and toys just don't do it for him. I'm thinking of walking him as soon as the weather improves, or getting a pet carrier and just letting him see the world a little.
First, should I invest in a heavy duty type harness or are the typical kinds for cats ok? Second, I'd have to bring my cat down a fairly busy street in order to access the walking trail where he'd be walked...should I get a pet stroller?
And how likely is it that cats can pick up diseases from walking outside? It's a walking trail, people walk their dogs, and of course there are river rats n groundhogs.
Is walking a cat safe, and what about a stroller? Does anyone here use one?
Thanks!
