"I just saw someone taking a cat for a walk in a lead. I've never seen this before. Is it normal ?
Not normal but not unheard off with pricey cats."
It was in Hyde Park and the owners looked wealthy. The cat didn't seem at all bothered. |

Perfectly normal. Around my neck of the woods (Coalville, the six toed capital of Europe) there's currently a program of training cats to help those with visual impairments. Just this morning I saw a blind gentleman walking along my garden fence and a lovely little old lady sitting in a tree.
Joking aside, if it means they're looking after their pets then I'm all for it. |

We once tried this with our cat when we lived in an upstairs apartment. Seemed like a good idea to use a lead as the cat had never been outdoors.
It was an utter disaster. Cats don't care about leads, they care about running up trees. Took us all afternoon to get her down. |

There's an old biddy that lives down from my mums who walks her cat on a lead. And there's a woman who goes round Loughborough market with one in her shopping trolly |

It's true I tell you. Loughborough university is just up the road and its where many of our Olympic athletes train. In the run up to the Paralympics they would train blind/impaired sprinters using a similar method. Instead of a starting pistol though, they'd release a Doberman. Sadly they had to stop this practice after one of the competitors (and his cat) scaled the dance, ran across the A512 and took up residence in the Spinal Way fire station. |

"My friends next door neighbour has a lead attached to the washing line. The cat just walks up and down where the washing line goes. "
That sounds a bit cruel to me. |

"Are indoor cats that way because they've never been allowed out?"
They're only indoor cats for so long. Once their scales have fully hardened and their wings are properly developed toured free to unleash them on unsuspecting villages to eat their virginal daughters.... |

I may have mixed cats up with dragons, I do it quite often. Cats do breathe fire don't they? |

"Are indoor cats that way because they've never been allowed out?"
Yes but some breeds are more accepting of it than others.
My two don't go out because they're extremely trusting and have neither any sense nor any concept of risk or danger.
They were bred to be beautiful and to have gentle, loving, trusting natures.
Their breed is very people-oriented so as long as they have enough company and attention, they are generally very content as indoor cats. |
