What do you use to tether you cats outside? I tried using a cat collar and leash and Grayce won't move. She just stares at the leash. She loves to go outside.
Thank you for your answers. I will get Grayce a harness. She loves to go outside. Thank you susanmaip. I would never leave her outside unattended. Thanks everyone!
We travel alot and use a harness and leash on our cat. Whenever we pull over for a rest, we walk her on the lease or stake her out to do her business. She doesn't mind it at all. Everyone at the camp grounds think we are nuts, but you can't let them loose.
Cats hate to be tethered. Why would you tether her? If she is a house cat, she doesn't need to go outside, which is really best for her, anyway. If she is an outdoor cat, let her be.
Cat collars usually have elastic on them, so the cat can safely slip out of it in case it gets caught on something. Look for a regular harness-style or one that looks like an "8" where one loop goes around then neck and the other around the chest, and you hook the where the loops cross. Cats will not be able to slip out of these as easily. Be aware that if you tie your cat outside with one of these, you MUST stay out with it, or it'll be a target for any dog or animal that may want to kill it.
The cat will not like it at first, and will resent you for putting it on him. Usually after a while, it will get used to the harness, and the draw of going outside will win over. Be patient.
