🐾 Should You Walk Your Cat? 5 Questions to Ask First! 🐾

Walking a cat? Yes, it’s possible—but is it the right fit for your feline friend? 🐱✨ While most cats prefer the comforts of home, some adventurous kitties might enjoy a stroll outside. Before you grab a leash, here are 5 things to consider:

1️⃣ Your Cat’s Personality – Is your kitty bold and curious or shy and nervous? Confident cats may adapt better to walks. 🐾

4️⃣ Your Comfort Level – Walking a cat isn’t like walking a dog. Be prepared for slow exploring and unpredictable behavior! 🌼😼
5️⃣ Vet Approval – Check with your vet about vaccines, flea prevention, and safety tips before heading outdoors. 🩺🐾

✨ Thinking of giving it a try? Start slow with a comfortable harness, practice indoors, and let your cat set the pace. Safety first! 🐾❤️
