Dog owners know that even small dogs that require little exercise usually have to go out for a walk once a day, and those dogs that exercise a lot have to be taken out to play often. But cats prefer to stay indoors, and the amount of exercise they need can be accomplished by walking around the house every day. But there are also cats who like to play outside, but it is not easy to take cats out, and you need to pay attention to some things.

1. Cats that have just been brought home cannot be taken out.

If the novice pet owner has just brought the cat home, he must not be in a hurry to take it out to play. Because generally at this time, the relationship between the cat and the owner has not been run in well, and mutual trust has not been established. Taking him out to play with him will not have a positive effect on building feelings for each other, but will make the cat feel scared or hold grudges. Therefore, it must be with the cat for a long time, the owner has figured out the cat's personality and behavior patterns, and the cat has begun to trust and rely on the owner, before you can consider whether to take the cat out to play.

2. What kind of cats are not suitable for taking out?

Some cats are not born to be taken out to play, and owners must understand this. First of all, if the cat is very introverted and timid, and even if they see strangers, they will be very afraid, then don't consider taking it out. Because some cats are very suspicious and very cautious, if they are too timid, they will be easily stressed when they are taken out. Not only can this cause it to be frightened, but it can also become ill due to an overreaction to stress.

3. Pay attention to where you go out

When taking the cat out for the first time, it should be downstairs or in a safer place outside the house. Don't go too far, let the cat get used to the sounds and scenery around, and pay attention to observe the cat's reaction. If the cat is very scared, it is recommended to give up the idea of taking the cat for a walk, do not force it. Overly forcing the cat will only make the cat feel scared, may accidentally hurt us in the panic, and may also have a bad impact on the cat's personality, which is not what we want.

4. Put a shoulder strap on the cat

In order to prevent the cat from running around during the walk, the cat should wear a shoulder strap or cat leash. Shoulder straps are more comfortable and safer for cats. When wearing the shoulder strap for the cat, you must pay attention to the tightness, not too tight or too loose, otherwise the cat will run out of the shoulder strap when the cat moves.

5. Train before going out

Often taking cats out for a walk is very beneficial to the physical and mental health of cats. When taking cats out for a walk, the most important thing is not the happiness of people, but the happiness of cats. When training a cat to go out for a walk, it is best to start with a kitten. First, train the cat to wear a collar and a leash, let the cat walk around his own door first, and then lead it further away, so that it gradually adapts to this kind of walking.

Cats kept in captivity for too long will inevitably reject the outside world. Since the cat is very sensitive to the outside world, taking the cat out for a walk will help relieve her stress. While indoors are safer for cats, they also need to be in contact with nature to improve their physical and mental health. The cat may resist at first, requiring the owner to proceed in a gradual manner.
