Cat on a lead.....

The Jammy dodger

Have you ever seen someone with a cat on a lead before? I did, thought it was strange. eh

aaronjumper

I did. It was on youtube and the guy got
scratched to hell when the cat got upset
because it could not get away.

Summary: It's a bad idea.

Not as strange as seeing a human on a lead. Being walked by a cat.

That was a colourful day.

On a hot tin roof - yes.
In a hat - yes.
Melodian - yes.

On a lead? Never.

My neighbours who have their cat on a lead and taking it for walks are foreign so maybe its a thing in their country?

My wife saw them taking it for a walk and said that when walked past the cat got spooked and ran but was getting choked on the lead. She said leads are just not designed for cats, there is no need for them.

Not a cat, but a (foreign) woman that lives near me often walks her two guinea pigs around the local park on leads. Thats a bit fucking nutty if you ask me.......

Saw a woman with a cat on a lead near the Grand canal one day in Portobello.

I thought the woman was a complete idiot. You can't put a cat on a lead.

You can, you just said yourself you seen it in Portobello

The neighbour used to have one on a lead out the back, it was meant to be so he wouldn't get lost in gardens, he was old & very slow and also meant to be very expensive so was also at risk from pet thieves if he strayed.

I used to tease the dog by putting a lead on the cat and saying the cats name and 'walkies'. The dog used to go mental barking and was mad jealous. If only she understood we really weren't going anywhere because the cat would lie there like a lump. T'was funny

What about leads that actually are specifically designed for cats?? Dogs don't like leads either when they are first put on them but they adjust. Not that I would try my cat on a lead because I would probably come out of it missing an eye and several fingers

Seen a punk dude in Glasgow in the 1980s with a loaf of bread on a lead, was like WTF!

I saw a quite a few people in France with their cat on a lead. One man had a cat on his shoulder, which was wearing a lead too. They seem to bring their pets to town a lot though, maybe that's why?

If I ever tried to put a lead on my cat he'd kill me. He's traumatised enough already from his Halloween costume :pac:

I don't think you can actually walk a cat on a lead, but maybe if you were carrying the cat somewhere it would stop it from running off and getting lost?

My sis has a cat and whenever she moves, she takes it for a walk on a lead for a few times so he can get to know the local area and find his bearings. Seems sensible enough. He goes nuts when she puts it on him, though.

johnayo

I know a few women who have their hubbies on leads. And some are quite short.:mad:

No this one was actually walking her cat on a lead like a doggie.

Not just that, but how I first discovered her was looking out my kitchen window only to see her with her cat on the lead, in the centre of my lawn and it taking a dump on the lawn. When she saw me she got embarrassed but hey...remained where she was and let her cat continue his business.

is she south american? Could be the xmas dinner shes exercising.

The guinea pig one is quite normal actually. I wouldn't be too surprised seeing that. People sometimes do the same with Rabbits, but a cat on a lead is a bit strange alright.

InkSlinger67

Never seen a cat on a lead.

I've seen some lazy-ass dog owners who make the dog carry the lead themselves in their mouth. They don't even hook the lead to the dog's collar....WTF?

Ruu_Old

Use to bring my cat out into the park with a harness, little fella was mad to go after the squirrels. Aside from that, more babies on leads than animals.

Gummy Panda

Only slutty kitty at Halloween

Guy down the road has an old cat and brings him/she off for walks
except the lead is more like a harness lol

I love cats but an angry cat can be one hell of a funny sight.

^This. You can't put a cat on a lead. It just doesn't work.

RichieC

our cat would have your face off in a second if you tried that sh*t on him... he is his own man.

Dudess

Tom cats can be tough alpha male ****ers. Mmmm... if I were a cat... :pac:

Slightly off topic, OP are you actually a biscuit, just wondering how you managed to type on the keyboard. I understand gingerbread men have hands but no actual fingers, so how come a circular biscuit with a jam filling can type.

It's not normal in rural Co. Limerick let me assure you........

Cat on a Lead? No

Snakes on a Plane? Yes. I thought it was okay

I will have to dodge such as a question.

I once saw a dog on a lead before, twas funny sh1t

Some cats can indeed be taken for walks on a lead but it's all down to the temperament of the cat in question. It's rare that it happens but it does indeed happen.

Not at all, they are slimey bástards. I wanted a lead for my hamster, would of enjoyed the looks everytime we hit the town.

Posy

I had my cat on a lead in my back garden after I had moved house so he wouldn't try and escape back off to our old house and get lost.

Walking a cat on a lead- strange.
Walking a ferret on a lead- I want to see that..
Walking a loaf on a lead- I want to eat that..*


*provided it's wrapped

Tries a lead on my cat before,

It just acted as an immobiliser, so it does actually have a use

MistyCheese

FFS, what kind of sheltered, suburban lives do some of you inhabit??! I have honestly witnessed not simply house pets on leads/leashes but offspring of the lord and lady of the manor.

up for anything

When I lived in London and got a kitten, I used to walk her on a harness lead from day one for lots of reasons, amongst them was that she got to know the area before going out on her own and I could keep her away from other cats before she was fully vaccinated and yet she got her quota of fresh air. It was also handy when we'd go home to Ireland for Christmas because it meant she could get out and about a bit. We'd get strange looks but most people thought it was a reasonable idea. She was always a hit with kids on the ferry who'd nearly pay me to walk her.

I think this belongs here

A cat on a lead is strange but what is bonkers is those freaks that put their dogs into prams

The larger pet stores here sell them specially desgned ones for dogs !!!!!! :mad:

ilovesleep

Great craic I thought it would be,
To tease the daft dog with glee,
By walking the cat,
With a lead and all that,
But the fat lump just sat there for me.
