My hubby and I are attempting to get our cat munchkin cat Minnie to walk on a leash. Does anyone have a cat that is leash trained and if so do you have any helpful suggestions?
@Munchkincat The best time to try and train your cat to walk on a leash is when they're a kitten. I don't know if your cat is an adult cat, but if so it might be very difficult or even unsuccessful to leash train.
Here are some guidelines, if you arent already familar with them:

Walk a cat on a leash? DD (who has 6 indoors) can't even give one a pill!
(meant tongue in cheek, so don't go crazy on me.)

My Mothers' neighbor walked his cat using a fishing pole. He attached the line to the cats' collar and then would reel out the line so the cat could go along at its' own pace. Then he would reel the line back in when he wanted it to be closer to him. I don't know anything about cats but this always amazed me. He said the cat liked it because it didn't feel like it was being tugged on or held back. I would think with a cat it would just depend on how old it is and if it is a young cat you would be able to leash train it by just getting it use to a harness first then trying it in the house first then gradually going outside with it. A harness would work better than just putting a leash on the collar as it is on the back and not pulling around the neck.

When they are outside by the pool DD and family attache a long thin rope and take her out with the rope tied to their chair. She loves it and can move around and be perfectly safe. She is never left alone outside. Stands by the door to go out and stays still when they attach the rope. she happily walks with them. She is not happy if they are outside without her. So cute.

@mspatmac Is the rope tied to the cat's harness, or how is it attached?.

Google-search for Jackson Galaxy's and others' tips, but first make sure you're using a halter. Also, check out the cat strollers that are available - they're enjoyed by cats and humans alike.
