Voglio portare il mio gatto a fare una passeggiata così posso andare in vacanza con lui e farlo abituare. Ma mi sento un po’ in imbarazzo perché vivo in città, quindi non lo so :/

  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.

    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 🙂

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

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

    I rather see someone walk their cat than put their dog in a stroller.

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

    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

  10. nothin, if you and the cat like it who am i to make fun of you?

    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.

  13. Unpopanon on

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

  14. 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.

  16. Isotheis on

    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.

    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.

  19. colouredmirrorball on

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

  20. blitzbane on

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

  21. emohipster on

    i’ve seen people do this.

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

  22. Remote-Objective-931 on

    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

  24. Ok_Homework_7621 on

    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.

  25. I’d look at it, look again in disbelief, then smile and walk on.

  26. Limesmack91 on

    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 

  27. Insomnia_always on

    Awesome!! Ive tried it with my ginger boy but he just flops down.

  28. __N3R0__ on

    I have a guy who lives near me that walks his cat off the leash, I can’t help to smile every time

  29. That’s the advantage of living in a city, almost everyone minds their own business…

  30. crippled_clara on

    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

  31. Kagrenac8 on

    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

  32. Excellent-Bee-4343 on

    Is be jealous. My cat freaked and fought the harness every time I tried to put it on 😭 I wouldn’t say anything though because I’d be busy keeping my dog from trying to sniff your cat and stop him from barking 🫣🫣

    For real though I’ve seen it a few times by now and I think it’s amazing if you can do it. Way better than having an outdoor cat where you don’t know what happens to them anytime they’re out and not lounging near the house.
