We have managed to practice leash and harness walks indoors with our purely indoor tabby, excited to introduce her to some outdoor walks. However, before we begin, we have two concerns:
1. Do indoor cats suddenly become very demanding to be let out? I realize every cat is unique- ours is a very sweet cat but are we opening pandora's box here?
2. How high is the threat of fleas or other parasites from walking them on the grass? I guess I know the answer: it goes from basically zero to something , and we should then start a flea prevention treatment- but we hate the thought of any toxicity from those formulations.
Thanks.
