Learn English meaning of 'walking a cat'

Date: Jul 27 2016

Intro

Imagine this: You and your family are dog owners, and you want to walk your dog. It’s easy, right? You just put a leash on your dog and start walking. Going for a walk makes your dog happy!

Now, imagine that you own another type of domestic animal: a cat. You put a leash on your cat, and your cat falls to the ground. Instead of walking your cat, you’re now dragging your cat. Is that cruel or funny?

C´mon , walking a cat on a leash.? Cats ,unlike dogs ,are unpredictable, sometimes social, sometimes they look at you as is saying : ” mind your own business , leave me alone ! ”. A cat that permits to be walked on a leash might have a personality disorder .hahahaha.
