I have a cat, he's 3 months old now and I am planning to walking him like a dog but I would like to know how far can a cat walk.

As long as they feel like. Walking a cat is not the same as walking a dog. Even if you get the cat used to the harness (which is better than a collar since they can't wiggle out of it) and leash, you're still subjected to going where the cat wants to go. Be prepared to stop a lot along the way so the cat can smell and investigate everything. I've walked our male on a harness and leash before.....and it's not really a good workout since there's no continuity, lol.

But good luck!

well, you better start leash training him get him a cat harness and leash. start slowly by showing him the harness let him play with it for a little bit each day then the next week put it on him and then take it off, increase the time he is wearing it each day when he is comfortable wearing it introduce the leash let him play with it, then the next week put it on and let him run around with it on then the next week actually pick up the leash.

what I found best for leash training was get a string toy and hold it out infront of them and they will go for that, after a while you won't need the string toy. make sure you and your cat are comfortable inside before taking him outside and when you do find a nice quiet place. you must realize that a cat will not walk like a dog on a leash it is more of a way to get him outside for some fresh air and not to worry about him getting hurt. go at your cat's pace.

Most cats hate leashes. If you're going to walk it, use a harness that goes around the neck and body. They have them at pet stores for cats. If you just use a collar, the cat could get scared and pull out of it.

If you don't start him early enough so he gets used to the leash, he will rebel against being walked on it. I don't know about three months, but my first cat refused to walk on a leash at six months. Cats are a lot more independent than dogs and they'll let you know it. Good luck!!

Very few cats will "walk" like a dog. They tend to verge off of the path you want them to go on and start sniffing around in vegetation, lying down and rolling around in the dirt, chasing insects, etc.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/dupnI

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

If you can keep a cat on a leash...no matter how old...MORE POWER TO YOU!I

If your cat is very subservient, I suppose he will walk with you no matter how far you want to go.
