Leash - Cat Leashes

Cat Leashes

Cat leashes are used with the purpose of preventing the cat getting lost. Unlike dogs, cats rarely get into fights or attack persons on the street so cat leashes are mainly a safety measure to protect the pet itself. Very often the cat leashes are replaced with harnesses because they avoid the dangers of the leash which include escaping and running away or choking. Cats are more likely to not be willing to be walked in a harness than dogs are. That is why cats are considered to need up to months to be able to adjust to wearing a harness.

Cat leashes come in a variety of colors, designs and models and they are also made of different materials. There are cat leashes made of leather, nylon or rope. Whereas the leather leash is one of the best qualities because of the characteristics of the material, it is also one of the most expensive and not very comfortable for the cat at the same time. Nylon cat leashes and harnesses are however more elastic and thus more comfortable and also provide more control.
