After Nancy and I took Milton in on a fostering basis we decided
that we would see if he could be trained to be a leash cat. Nancy
made him a custom walking jacket. We took him in to the back yard
a couple times with Ranger and he did really well. So when we next
had to go to the pet supply store for litter we took Milton with
us. we put a blanket down in the child-carrier seat, and he was
quite content to ride around while we puched the cart. We came
across a lady shopping with her little girl, and the girl asked if
she could pet the kitty. We said yes, and Milton loved the extra
attention. We're going to plan to take him with us any time we
have to go back to the store.

I would love to train a cat like that! I suspect the younger the cat,
the easier it would be to train to a leash.
