Well, today Jango ventured out on the harness with me and my fiance for the first time Only out into the backyard/carpark area (its very quiet there and has some nice patches of grass, some bushes and a tree)

He was VERY uncertain of the whole thing, but overall having looked at the pictures again I think he actually quite enjoyed it

didn't move much when we put him on the floor mind and wanted to be picked up all the time (started pawing at our legs after a few minutes) but had a good sniff around etc.

Got a few strange looks from the neighbours (mainly dog people around here) but overall a sucess and he doesnt mind the harness too much either





We are reserving our opinion on grass for a future visit to the "garden"...



In future, where do other people walk their cats in general? I don't have the luxury of a garden so would be interesting to hear others views do you generally drive your cats for walks, or just stick to the local neighbourhood?

Hope you enjoy the pics

Lovely photos and it looks as if Jango really enjoyed it. Oscar and Wilbur were very still the first time I took them out too - think of all those smells, the noise, the breeze etc that they are feeling. No wonder they just stand and stare.

I have a garden so I tether my boys there with tent pegs and let them explore in their own way. At present they think ants are amazing. I use a 3m mini dog lead so they can wander where I can see them, although they are always under the bushes chasing each other. The neighbours make fun of me as they can only ever see my bum poking out of the bush whilst I try and untangle the leads

Not sure where you would take Jango, as local parks tend to have dogs out on runs. Don't you have any smaller secured green space around you?

Kittehnom - we just walk round the garden or along our lane - quite rural and lots of interesting places to stop and sniff. There's a little culvert just across the road and I have to stop Mai Tai from going down there to explore

sadly there are no secured green spaces as such where I live and alot of dogs in the local area I have thought though that I might take him down the to artificial lake in our housing estate with his carrier and sit in the grass with him so that if any dogs come he has somewhere to hide/I have somewhere to put him. Do people think that would be okay or maybe not?

For the moment we are just going to stick to the small grassy areas in the carpark as I think that in itself is quite overwhelming! as you say, lots of new smells and noises

Great pics

I used to take our old MC out on a harness but he was a PAT cat so had to try & keep him under control sometimes it was like haveing a box of frogs on the end of a lead though
