Cats don't do walks very well

[piplover]

So,I tried to take my cats for a walk today. Yes, yes, yes, I know what you are thinking. They are cats, not dogs. But still... You would have thought I was trying to kill them the way they behaved. Rodney sat down on the sidewalk and started yowling, and Colonel laid down and refused to budge. I ended up carrying them back to the house. Sheesh.
They don't mind the harness, or the leash. They just don't seem to like the outdoors very much. I think I will try again tomorrow, and this time use their favorite toy, a bunch of feathers on a string, to goad them into moving. Hopefully they'll equate walking with fun time. Sigh.

My sister and her boyfriend stopped by a few nights ago with their dogs on leashes...and sitting on the walkway was her cat, who followed them all the way. It was adorable. So some cats do take walks, just continue on and I'm sure yours will.

I hope so. I know my mom used to take our cats for walks, and they don't mind the harness and leash. I think they just don't like going outside when its cold, lol!
