Train a Kitten to Walk

Want a unique way for you and your precious kitten to get exercise? Try walking your kitten! It might sound impossible, but it is completely possible with the right training, and patience! Read this wikiHow and soon you and your kitten might be able to take to the streets!

Steps

 * 1) Go to the store and buy a harness and leash. Make sure the harness fits well. If you can fit a finger under it easily, it's too loose. If you can't fit your finger under it without pinching, it's too tight. It's important you have a harness, not just a leash.
 * 2)  Have your kitten walk around the house with the harness for a few days. It's important your kitten gets used to the harness, first. Try to distract your kitten with treats and affection!
 * 3)  Try walking your kitten around the house without leading the way for a while. Just have your hand on the leash without taking control--this should let your kitten get used to the leash. If you tug on the leash during the first time, your kitten might resist more. Afterwards, try walking your kitten around the house while guiding your kitty.
 * 4) After a few days, take your kitten outside for a walk to exercise.

Warnings

 * When getting your kitten used to the harness and/or leash, don't do it for too long. Try at least 10-15 minutes a day.
 * Take caution when walking small kittens outside. It might slip away, or even worse, be attacked by prey. It does happen, surprisingly. Only take your kitten out when it's at least 2 months old. Anything younger, should be walked in a safe indoor environment.
