Anyone ever train a cat to use a leash? If so any pointers?

The best thing is to start when they are young. It works the same with clipping their nails, start when they are tiny. If they act antsy, stop and let them go and come back to it later. There is no rush to train them, just have to let them get used to it. We used one on our last cat. It was a figure 8 harness that we bought at a local feed store. Just put it on when they are relaxed, in the house. Let them wander around in it to get used to it. Don't talk when you put it on...they don't know what your saying anyway and may take it as being a bad thing to hear you talking and it seems to be more soothing to just give them a pat or a treat and put it on. When Mounds, don't ask why we called him that, got used to the harness than we put on a very light weight lead and let him drag it around. After that we took the end of it and walked out the slider door. He followed us right out. We clipped the leash on one of those tie out stakes for dogs and just worked in the flower garden and yard around him. He loved it. The only probelm was if you got out of his sight he would cry.

They are absolutely darling. What a cute pair. I also really love side shots, profiles, of cats faces. You can really see the depth of their eyes and the shpae of their faces. Beautiful photography work!

Mina bites his butt, jumps on his back, steals his toys, trys to ambush him at every turn, even steals his bed, but Shaggy is such a sweat heart. Now he does have his limits and does go after her but she thinks its so fun he knows not to hurt her.. But when Mina needs a time out she gets one. But here is some quiet time they shared I just had to snap a few pics.

Shaggy is a good sport.

Well brought mina for her first Vet check and shots, well she has ear mites and ringworms, so have to start giving her baths once a week with special shampoo, and keep her lathered up for 10min! Locked in a kennel, getting ready to do that for the first time, the ringworms were detected around her face, so I have to put mineral oil in her eyes and ears. This might hurt me more than her. Wish me luck.

Ya... I think that's often the case with these rescued babies. My two had ear mites and fleas and some kind of worms too... intestinal ones though. Roundworms maybe? Anyway, the less serious kind. We got lucky. My vet gave them Revolution which killed all three in one dose, so it wasn't so bad. I don't envy you giving long cat baths every week! I hope it clears up soon!

[Jryan]

Wasn't too bad, hard hearing her cry for 10 min being in the crate. Hardest part was putting the harness back on after.

This is Ernie, the rat terrier. He's 11 year's old now, and very protective!!

A few more pics of Calvin and Hobbes... cuz they're only this cute for a little while...


It's harder to get pictures of Hobbes when he's awake.



Cuz he's always playing.



Calvin is my Little Prince... and far more likely to pose for me.




Sometimes Hobbes will fall asleep upside down in your arms... still purring.



And sometimes Calvin will curl up with a friend.



But most of the time they still sleep together... on their favorite perch.

Great pictures, PFC! Looks like Calvin and Hobbes have made themselves at home.

I thought I had quoted KRod's picture too, but I guess I didn't. Ernie's adorable!

[lady_mephisto86]

Love the pics pfc! Especially the second one, so funny

He's such a great dog with kid's! He would probably, or sound like it, eat em' up if someone messed with either me, Tony or Parker and Preston!

[lostinblue]

Oh! those cats are soo soo cute! I just want to hug them right now! I especially love that picture with orange cat in your arms. So cute!

And the picture of the cat and dog like holding paws!! So adorable! I just LOVE animals.

My cat named Lucy went after a bat once. It was funny. She totally jumped up onto the reclincer and brougt that bat down. I think you'd only think it was funny if you were actually there.

But now she has had kittens and I named my favorite one Bobby. There's 6 kittens. Only one of them is a girl. The girl's name is Oliva. You know? After Olivia benson? I just LOVE the name Olivia. It's so pretty. And one time my mom was leaving to go somewhere, and Olivia got out. My mom tried to catch her. But she ran away. It was winter, and when my mom came back she was just shivering. Poor Olivia!

Oh don't freak out when I tell you this. Bobby, my favorite kitten, looks like his mother. He's like the same size of his mother, and he's fatter than his mother. And Rupert (his sibling) thought Bobby was the mama kitty. It was SO disgusting. Ruperts always the stinker cat, besides Jack. Jack has fur that my mom says looks like a Tux, but he's piraty. My mom wanted him to call him 'Bond, Jack Bond' I thought that ws funny.

They are precious all of them-Ernie, Calvin, Hobbs and Calvin's friend (sorry pfc don't remember your goldie's name).

We were out today for about 4-5 hours. Rigley was so excited when we came home you would think we'd been gone a month. It's nice to be loved.

Awww. i've never met a Goldie that I didn't like. They are sweethearts.

My brother has one named Cody. A couple of summers ago my brother and his family were going on vacation for a week so we offered to babysit Cody for the week. He was so good and so sweet. We had a good time. He kept a diary while he was at my house which his parents got a kick out of reading when they got home. Every day we would go out and play with his red ball. Then seriously on the LAST day we were out playing with his red ball and he peed on it! Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! I told my brother about it and he said "he always does that." So all week we played ball and the whole time he was peeing on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily I am big on hand washing. So I always washed my hands when we came in from playing. It was gross but funny. I still love 'im. He's always so happy to see us when we go to visit.
