My 5 year old cat is currently indoor-only, but I think she'd do well going for little "walks" outside with a leash and harness. My only concern would be due to the fact that she's FIV positive and I'd like to minimize the risk of her contracting any parasites. I've taken care of kittens that were rescued from the outdoors before, so I'm all too familiar with what can be contracted from licking paws that stepped in the wrong puddle! My thought is that I can wipe her paws off as soon as we get in the door, but I don't know whether a damp paper towel or your average pet wipe is enough to do the trick, or if there's something stronger with antiseptic properties I can use that won't harm the cat. Any thoughts? Thanks!
