He loved being outside, so it was almost impossible to open a door without him flying outside. We ended up getting a leash, and walked him around the yard for that month. It is doable, but they definitely want to lead and have more freedom.

The only one who rejected it was a 19 yr old cat that was already set in her ways. The difference between walking a cat and dog is that the cat wants to lead you and stop along the way smelling various plants etc. Enjoy the journey and make sure you get a leash that goes around their frame rather than neck. It gives you more control and is less dangerous to the cats neck. My cats look forward to their evening walk especially. I have for 30 yrs now walked all my cats on a leash.
