    I tried walking my cat, it did work but the problem was other people walking their dogs and letting them loose in parks. So I stopped going since it terrified him. I tried keeping him in his carrier backpack like thingy, but he still didn’t enjoy it.

    Now I have a tuxedo devil kitten, maybe I’ll try it again. Just have to think hard about how and where he can be safe. Maybe just start with his carrier and then move on to the leash?

      I feel like the CatPack is an interesting twist. Take 'em somewhere naturey+quiet and see how he likes a 10 minute walk and maybe just slowly edge that time up. Have a way to give treats along the way

        The bastards are so used to treats, it barely works anymore :). But dreamies has a new line out with catnip flavour they die for. I’ve been giving them very few of them, so that can help.

        I’ll try it out. My friend is picking me up this afternoon and I’ll ask if we can scout a few locations.
