Why a book on walking cats?
The fact that so few of the millions of indoor cats in the US, and worldwide, are walked would be surprising–if it were not for the widespread belief that cats can’t be walked. The authors of Walk Your Cat hope to change the way the public views walking cats. The benefits to cats, and to their owners, are significant enough to warrant a serious look at the topic of walking cats. For the authors, leash-training indoor cats seems like an obvious development in the feline-human relationship. As humans have moved to urban and suburban settings, the population of indoor cats has grown. The authors hope that with their book a new class of cat, which they like to call the “modern indoor cat”, will emerge. These are indoor cats that live a more natural life, with all the benefits of both the indoors and the outdoors.
