Our Cat Loves to Visit the Beach! - Bandit Climbs the Sand Piles

Bandit is 3 years old. We have been walking him for 2 years since we adopted him. He used to live on the street. We found him one day while visiting our parents. Bandit was following the neighbor to the bodega. We asked the neighbor if that was her cat, she said that he was a frequent visitor of her front porch.
She started feeding him but was unable to take him in. We decided to take this little cutie in because he kept following us to our car. He is a very social cat. He loves dogs and people. He is socially awkward with other cats. We have been working for the past 2 years to get Bandit to socialize with Naz, our Calico. He immediately bonded with Raja, our Tabby Swirl. Bandit is the only cat we’ve ever had who expressed an interest in going for walks. Naz and Raja loved going outside on the roof deck, but never liked wearing a harness.
If you are thinking of walking your cat, you should check out our videos on harness training and training your cat to walk outside. We created a separate playlist for Bandit’s journey because his story is so different from our other cats. We hope you enjoyed this video. If you are walking your cat or thinking of it, please share your experiences and tips in the comments.

[@kensmith5694]

Many years ago, I had a cat that initially I took to the park just so he wouldn't think the car only goes to the vets. He seemed to really enjoy it. I would take some food and water for him and a sandwich and a book for me. I noticed after about the 3rd time, he would go basically along the same path but explore different things along the way. There was a hill with a bench under a tree most of the way up. That was where we would stop for lunch. Yes, he also liked getting on top of things. That way he could be king of all he surveyed.

[@FrolickingFelines]

Thanks for watching, and thanks for sharing your story! 😻 That is exactly how this began for us, too! In addition to the fact that Bandit kept trying to get out of the house!😹 We felt it is important for the kitties to learn that the car and the carrier are not just for bad places like the vet. Here is our video when we first started taking Bandit to the park: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmPYg2p7mcmda6M

My cat walks with me on evenings, after dinner, for 25 minutes. No leach needed, she stays with me within a few meters. People comment surprised when they see us walking together.

[@FrolickingFelines]

Yes. It seems like walking a cat gets a lot of attention!😹 We're afraid of letting our kitty off leash... worried we'll lose him or he'll get hit by a car. How do you ensure your kitty stays with you?

[@FrolickingFelines]

Hello! Thanks for watching!!

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

How do you train a cat to become comfortable wearing a leash and harness? Any cat that I've ever owned would have launched in to drama mode.

[@FrolickingFelines]

We had 2 other cats who would go into drama mode. We think Bandit tolerates a harness and leash because we started training him as a kitten. Here's a link to our playlist which includes videos on how we trained Bandit to walk on a leash and harness - Adventures of Bandit - learn about his story: kzbin.info/aero/PL6JtCHVTgq18B5k5HYICc-66y_V77kgjp

[@kensmith5694]

Here is what I think works: 1) Start when they are young. 2) Put the harness on quickly so you are not messing with them too long 3) Follow the cat and let them explore 4) Say something like "this way" when you need to redirect them and try to make the new thing something interesting. Use the same phrase.

[@FrolickingFelines]

@ jack of all trades That's exactly what we did in a nutshell. We used treats to reinforce during training while walking in the house. If you need visuals, check out our video playlist above. We only trained for short sessions in the beginning to help keep it a fun and interesting for him.

[@thomas4315]

Cat can’t see very far vision , cause they have wide angle lens Like a go pro, but it’s good in moving on moving object and with their quick reflexes. Strange your cat not afraid of open spaces , cat are thinking escape route ahead , trees or bushes.. my cat she a rag doll so I can carry her on my back to the park from the car just holding one front paw lightly, she relaxed looking around. People get their kick on that.

[@FrolickingFelines]

Thanks for watching! 😻 That's probably why he kept moving towards the ocean, he heard it but couldn't figure it out. Once we got closer, he wanted to turn back.

[@user-ll9zd2dh6h]

what happens if you take him off the leash?He runs away never to be seen again

[@FrolickingFelines]

That’s our fear! We don’t want him to run away or get hurt! We are actually going to order a longer leash for him, so he has more freedom to run around.

When walking your Cat on a leash always carry a Broom or giant shovel Handle incase of Dog Attack.. shhhtt Happens and Fast

I, respectfully, don't agree with you that your furball likes the beach. The fact that he never walks with straight legs is a very good indicater that he is extremely wary. I didn't see him relax once. Maybe a different walk route would be more enjoyable?

[@FrolickingFelines]

Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching. Please note this is an edited video. We let him guide us to where he wants to go. He did sit and look around, especially when he saw dogs, and people (We respectfully cut out the conversations we had with those people.). He also found a rock and just sat and watched. We shortened this video. We go on lots of walks. When we visit the nearby park, he pulls us to go towards the beach.
