«Breaking News» Scientist says pet owners should treat cats more like dogs to increase their happiness

Scientists have said that pet owners should start walking their cats on leads in a bid to give them more 'enrichment' and see more of the world.


A growing movement, with the hashtag #catwalking, has called on cat owners to begin taking their furry friends on walks, especially if they're stuck indoors all day. 


With many cats cooped up indoors for long periods, particularly in urban towns and cities, there has been an increase in interest to provide them with more freedom. 


Scientist Dr David Grimm, a deputy editor of Science magazine, has been walking his two cats on a leash for thirteen years.

Writing in the New York Times, he said: 'We just wanted our two kittens to experience more of the world than our cramped apartment in Baltimore.'   


'We need to start walking our cats. I'm not saying that you should put your cat on a leash like we did but it does keep them from running out into traffic.'


Dr Grimm said we should 'let our cats outside for thirty to sixty minutes a day to rove yards, stroll sidewalks and disappear into shrubbery'. 

'We should pick them up when they head for the street. We should whistle or clap when they begin stalking a bird. And we should have a bag of treats ready when it's time to call them back indoors.'  


Well known pet brands have released their own line of cat walking products, with specialists including PetSafe UK and PetPlanet stocking a range of cat harnesses and leads. 


The hashtag #catwalking has more than 38,261 posts on Instagram that consist of pictures of owners taking their cats through cities, trains, buses and parks.

WHAT IS #CATWALKING?



With many cats cooped up indoors for long periods, particularly in urban towns and cities, there has been an increase in interest to provide the furry felines with more freedom.


Well known pet brands including PetSafe UK and PetPlanet have released their own line of cat walking products featuring a range of cat harnesses and leads. 


The hashtag #catwalking has more than 38,261 posts on Instagram that consist of pictures of owners taking their cats through cities, trains, buses and parks. 


The social media cat-walking trend can be traced to organisations such as Adventure Cat, a website and Instagram account launched by Laura Moss in 2015 and dedicated to domestic cats enjoying the outdoors




However, some animal rights groups believe that a cats sense of control is very important and putting them on a leash or a harness removes their independence.


An RSPCA spokeswoman told MailOnline that while they appreciate the need for cats to be mentally stimulated, toys and climbing frames are likely to be more beneficial to their welfare. 


'Some cats may be frightened by the experience of being on a lead, so we would ask all owners to take this in to consideration.


'This is because a sense of control is very important to cats and being walked on a collar or harness prevents them from having control. 


'It may be more difficult for them to be able to move away or hide from anything which might scare or worry them.


'If an owner feels that putting their cat on a lead would not be stressful for their pet then they should introduce them to this experience in a slow, gradual and positive manner.


'If any signs of distress are seen such as the cat trying to pull away or get away then this should be stopped immediately.'

Although some animal lovers disagree. Cat behaviourist Anita Kelsey says that if a cat clearly wants to go outside, you should train him or her on a lead.


'If a cat is going mad being kept indoors, they're crying at the windows all the time, and you've done everything you can to bring the outside in, that's when I help people train the cats to walk on a lead,' she told the Guardian in an interview last year.


She added that letting a cat outside can help to solve some pets' 'destructive behaviour'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
