Never put a cat on a leash!

This is why..........

That cat's attack was justified.You don't leash a cat.I actually saw a man once that was walking his cat.

i'll keep that in mind

Why the heck would I adopt such a mean cat? And why were they freaking it out and trying to put it into a box? The attack was justified, and yet it wasn't....

I love watching silly people who don't know how to handle violent cats.

Dude, that video is old as dirt. :P rcignoni

I wonder if they reconsidered Pinky as pet of the week?

Btdubs: better video

Ever wonder why more cats end up as road pizza than any other domesticated animal? Owners either do not keep them indoors or put them on leashes when outdoors. Sad really.

Ugh, seen that video many times before. >_>super_mario_128

Go kitty! I like the guy's "rrrrrrRRRGH" sounds.

And, yeah...no duh never leash a cat. You only need to leash animals that are not self-sufficient, like dogs :P

Wow, it was like a snake.

My cousin tried to do that once. It was how she died.

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"][QUOTE="Lockedge"]Uh, cats should always be on leashes when outside, unless they're strays and don't have anyone taking care of them. To not leash your pet when it's outside is just wrong and dangerous, and there's honestly no argument that can be made against it other than "But teh animals need to be frees and cats can't do any harm to anyone they need to stroll arounds" Its reaction in the video is a little justified, but to make it an argument against leashing....it would be like saying if a leashed dog bit you, then dogs shouldn't be on leashes.thegerg

What he's suggesting is that pet owners should take efforts to ensure that they have posotive control over their animals. It's what's best for the animal as well as their neighbors.

That is why there are leash laws in just about every community in at least the US. Leash laws are to protect both the animal, people and property.

Here is the Cobb County GA leash law:

Animals are required to be on a leash when outside unless contained by a fence. Pet owners are responsible for collecting animal waste and disposing of it properly. Contact Cobb County Animal Control at (xxx) xxx-xxxx to report violations.

As cats cannot be contained by a fence, it has to be on a leash. Unfortunately, cat owners seem to think that the law doesn't apply to them.

Still, there are places that do not have laws that cover cats and just dogs.

Yet, I've never once been attacked by a dog, no dog has drowned in my pool or got caught in my yard. All dogs in my neighbourhood were on leashes. Sure, my neighbourhood was populated with a lot of cats, but I had friends who had cats and if they wanted outside they'd leash them up and let them roam around.

It worked out well. For what reason should cats be without a leash? What reason is there for dogs to not be on a leash?

It enforces people to actually take care of their pets instead of passively caring for them(leaving out a dish in their backyard,etc.). It makes sure others don't have to take responsibility where the owners forfeited it. It helps keep the animals and the community safer and in better shape. There's no downside to leash laws for cats, except for cat owners who forget about their cats for days at a time and assumes they can fend for themselves.

Growing up we always had 4 cats in my family. They were all outside animals. Feed em in the morning, let them strut around a bit, kick em out, let em in at night ,feed them, snuggle, then kick them out before bed.

We never lost a cat. And while we didnt live in a high traffic zone, we had racoons and coyotes to worry about.

Theoverprotective mentality people have towards cats is rediculous; theyre independent animals, you dont need to coddle them like dogs

Yeah, I tried walking my cat once and he just ran away :(

Having cats in an urbanized setting is dumb in the first place. A lot of people I know who have cats rarely even see them because they are always running around neigborhoods crapping in everyone's yard and being noisy. At least with a dog you can restrain it and choose when it goes and where.

I didn't like that video :?Strider_91

ps I don't understand why this video is funny? People in the Youtube comments find it hilarious and I don't see the humor in it. I just see a pissed/confused/ cat. In fact it makes me uneasy to watch something like that, it's frustrating, he should've let go of the leash long before he did..

The cat being not being treated properly is sad, but the guy's reaction and sound he makes when getting bit is the funny part.

Is that the same guy which had the Lawnmower accident with his cat... :lol: :cry:

Well the guy getting hurt isn't funny, it's just the way he reacts.

the thing is cats are independent creatures. If you let them do their own thing (instead of putting them on a leash) the normal one's won't do that too you and even with the crazy ones it's rare.

Hm.

Reminds me of my sister.

Just don't mention anything about leashes!

That guy is far more restrained than I would have been in that situation. That cat would have been punched in the head and punted over the building.

Then I honestly hope you don't end up owning any pets in the near future :P

Anyways my cat is an indoor cat so I wouldn't try to put him on a leash anyways, though my friend used to walk his kitten on a harness Lol 8)

F*** that cat. My old cat was way cooler than Pinkey ever was. His name was Spliffy and he had the best attitude ever.

We have our kitten on a leash when we put her outside. She behaves just fine.JustPlainLucas

Ooo, I'd be careful about that Lucas. Your kitten is "justified" in attacking you if you put her on a leash, because...

1. Justice is a philosophical concept that applies to human/animal relations, and...
2. Because.
