Cat Collars
While almost everyone walks their dog, few people walk
their cats. However, cats can learn to walk on a leash.
In fact, there are collars, harnesses, and leashes
designed just for cats.
Unlike dog collars, cat collars are not created so that
they can be used with a cat leash. The shape of a cat’s
head makes it too easy for a collar attached to a leash
to pop right off. Instead, collars are used for other
reasons. Many people use collars as accessories. They
place jeweled collars on their cats simply because they
like the way these collars look. Other people use cat
collars to hold id tags, so that they can more easily
find their cats if they escape. Of course, the most
common reason for putting a collar on a cat is to warn
birds of his approach. Collars with bells on them may
be a low tech alarm system, but they work.
Cat harnesses are designed to stay securely on a cat,
even when the cat is on a leash. You can buy a simple
nylon harness for your cat or you can find more deluxe
models that look more like padded vests. As long as
the harness is completely adjustable, it should work
well.
Cat leashes can be standard leashes or retractable
models. Whichever type of leash you choose, be sure
that it is lightweight enough to allow your cat to
move easily under its weight. Retractable leashes
are ideal for people who want to allow their cats
to explore their surroundings in a park or other
traffic safe area, but want to keep the cats close
by when they are walking to and from their homes.
To accustom your cat to walking on a leash, you should
not use the same techniques you use to train your dog.
Cats do not do well with negative correction, so giving
a quick tug on the leash when they do not stay at your
side will not teach them to heel. Instead, praise your
cat when he does what you want and ignore him when he
does the wrong thing. Although you can teach your cat
to tolerate a leash, don’t expect him to consistently
heel on command.
The easiest way to teach your cat is to use a leash is
to start when he is a young kitten of eight to ten weeks
old. Place his harness on him and allow him to walk
about completely unrestrained. After a few days, add the
leash. Be sure that you do not apply any pressure. Once
your cat is used to the leash, you can pick it up and
teach him that it is ok for you to be on the other end
of the leash. Gently apply pressure to the leash and
call your cat to you. Praise him when he responds.
Eventually, he will become used to following you when
he is on his leash.
Once your cat is on a leash, you can finally take
him outside without worrying that he will use your
neighbor’s vegetable garden as a big litter box.

Cat Beds
Are you tired of cat hair on the counters, footprints
on the windowsills, and rumpled pillows? If so, you may
want to consider giving your cat his own resting spot.
In fact, to truly make your cat happy, you may need to
provide him with several cat beds in different areas.
There are so many different types and styles of cat beds
that finding one that blends with your décor should not
be too hard. You can look for colorful cat beds in fun
pet prints that add a touch of whimsy to the room or
you can shop for cat beds with plenty of designer ele-
gance, instead.
Of course, your cat will be more concerned with how the
bed feels than what it looks like. Cat beds often have
fleece pillows to keep them feeling cozy. These beds
may be oval shaped with high sides or they may actually
be completely enclosed to form a cozy nest bed. Cats
enjoy being able to snuggle up in a secure spot, which
is why so many of them manage to squeeze inside sofas
or other odd spots to nap. Some nest beds are even heat-
ed to add more warmth. If you have a cat that spends
time on the porch or in other chilly areas, you may want
to consider providing him with one of these beds.
If your cat sheds hair on the furniture, a nap mat is a
useful option. Place the nap mat where your cat usually
sleeps and simply store it away when company comes. The
cushions beneath the mat will be cat hair free. A cat
perch, which is a padded shelf, is another popular piece
of napping equipment. Attach the cat perch to your win-
dowsill so your cat can look out the window and dream
of stalking the wild birds he sees as he naps.
When you buy a cat bed, don’t be surprised if your cat
ignores it completely for a while. If he refuses to
explore the bed, you may want to add a catnip toy to
the bed to attract his attention. Placing the bed in a
cat friendly location will also make it more appealing
to your cat.
Cats do not care to nap in low places. Instead, posi-
tion the cat bed on an end table or platform that is
a few inches off the floor. Also, be sure the bed is
not in an area that receives heavy traffic. If your
cat feels as though he can never let down his guard
and relax, he won’t want to nap in his bed. Of course,
if you have several cats, you may need a napping spot
for each cat. If you don’t want three or four cat beds
in your home, you may want to shop for the kitty ver-
sion of a play gym, the cat condo. The cat condo al-
lows several cats to nap in elevated spots. To get
the most value for your money, look for a cat condo
that has climbing areas and a place to sharpen claws
in addition to napping spots.

The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that
is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human.
