​Leash training can be tough for some cats. You can train your cat with a harness and a leash. It will be difficult to walk with a harness and your cat will feel uncomfortable. The cat will feel confined when wearing the harness and may lie down.
Take your time training and be very consistent. At first, try a few minutes and gradually increase the amount of time. Be sure to reward along the way, with treats and praises.
It will be a good exercise for your cat and will help to prevent boredom.
Work with your cat indoors until your cat feels comfortable and then you can go outdoors.
When outdoors do not take the leash off the cat.
