    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.

    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 :p

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    That would be Pinky. Apparently, he was pet of the week.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

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