Ich möchte mit meiner Katze spazieren gehen, damit ich mit ihr in den Urlaub fahren und sie daran gewöhnen kann. Aber es ist mir ein bisschen peinlich, weil ich in der Stadt lebe, ich weiß es nicht :/

  1. I wouldn’t react in any visible or discernible way. I might think a few things, but you wouldn’t notice this.

  2. That’s awesome and definitely impressed. I’ve tried training mine but they go dumb and try to run back inside.

    I would smile and nod, I like to walk my cat as well.

    If I’m feeling particularly friendly that day, I would ask if I could say hi and pet their cat.

  4. I would not care and believe you should not care but I get why you feel a bit weird about it because its not something you see every day like you do with dogs…

    We treat cats a lot like outdoor animals that roam free with all the consequences it comes with… Imo you have the right idea and you are actually doing it for a practical reason, so just go out and do your thing 🙂

  5. I would be impressed, tried to do this with my kitty but hes way to naughty and gets out of that corset.

  6. Having tried this (and failed) I will always be impressed when I see people who walk their cat

  7. It gets more common. Yet, it you, like my friend, walk a goat, yes you’ll have some weird looks

  8. I would think this person is amazing, understands the risks of letting your cat roam free but wants to give him the chance to explore outside. Also, fuck what people think anyway

    If the cat is not distressed, I would think the person spent a lot of effort training him.

    If the cat looks like he’s not enjoying it, I would judge the person harshly.

    As long as your cat is used to being leashed then it’s fine. I walk with my cat every day, he loves to accompany me and my daughter while walking her to school and it’s never a problem. But we live in a suburbs so not so busy in the city.

  11. I would think it was incredibly cool. I saw someone walking their ferret once and it made my day!

  12. Long time ago we got a rescue but lived in an apartment in the center. We walked our cat, people loved it. Just watch out for people with dogs.

    I’ve walked my cat as a child when he was still learning the neighborhood, there’s a little old lady walking her cat every day in the street we live in now (city as well), so I consider it pretty normal.

  14. Unusual, but sure. If the cat doesn’t seem scared, I might even step off my cycle to ask to pet it.

    Considering my experience with Mirabelle, I’d advise you to be wary, because *many* people will come and pet the cat without asking. And some are pretty violent.

  15. The only negative thing about this is that people will keep saying stuff like „omg a cat“ and „can I pet it“

    My dream, I wish my cat would allow it. She can murder me just thinking of this.

    I often see people walking their cat. Then upon closer inspection, turns out it’s a dog.

  18. Someone on my block walks with her dog and her cat is always walking along with them.

  19. i’ve seen people do this.

    i think it’s neat because i like to see cats

    My cat loves going for walks in her harness! Without harness would be her preference, but too many birds around. And she likes the company too, sometimes garden, sometimes sidewalk, sometimes we get really adventurous and we take a side street or cross the road. Good times 🙂

    As someone who traveled Europe with a senior cat, don’t leach a cat, let him follow if he wants.

    After continuing to give mine more and more respect/freedom, she was able to go free in each city.
    She went outside while we went grocery shopping
    She went outside on the highway stops
    Forests, parks, central city, beach….

    Occasionally i would walk her by just following her her her following me

    I walk mine with my dogs sometimes.

    Depends where in Brussels, but a calmer place, sure. Make sure the cat is vaxxed so he doesn’t pick up something, get him a tracker and make sure you have a good harness and you’re good.

    Other people in our neighborhood do it, too.

    Would probably look a bit surprised since you don’t see it often. Most people will probably act surprised or stare unintentionally, that’s kind of unavoidable. No need to feel embarrassed about it though

    I say go for it! I ride around with my cat on my lap (I’m a wheelchair user) and I get THE BEST comments, def don’t be ashamed! Fyi, I also live in the city

  25. I feel like people might see it as a novel thing. Belgians are also very live and let live kind of vibes, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the possible embarrassment you’d feel

  26. A neighbor does that. Nobody cares. And my dog is confused as fuck when he sees it tho.

  27. typewriterbitch on

    I’ve seen it and think it’s cool. Just be mindful of the cats safety — not everyone walking a dog has good control over it. 

  28. WishmeluckOG on

    I follow several youtube channels of people that travel with their pets. It’s pretty cool but you need to find out if the cat likes it. If he or she gets to stressed don’t keep doing it cause it looks cool.

    I used to live in Laeken and saw several people walk their cats there.

    In other places I saw people walk their ferrets.
