It's just a new idea we have thought of but there seem to be mixed thoughts online and I'd be grateful for anyone more experienced with cats to chip in.
We have a fab 4 year old rescue boy who has outdoor access and likes to roam for an hour or so a few times day plus spends plenty of time in the garden. He is happy wearing his collar.
If we went away somewhere cat friendly, or to family, we thought of getting him a harness and lead so he could come out with us (in suitable weather, not very hot or cold) for fresh air and a wander without getting lost.
Do these tend to be a good idea?
I'd prefer it to leaving him at home (we get someone in to feed him daily and use a timed feeder) or in a cattery if we didn't have to but am just not sure in practice how much of a good idea they are.
A lot of stuff online seems to come from businesses or those with indoor cats they want to be able to take outside which he isn't.
