Mentor Q&A

I'd like to be able to take my kitten to the park. Is it possible to train her to use a leash?

Can I train my 3-month-old kitten to walk on a leash? She loves to go outside, but I am not ready to make her an outside cat.

I have a five-month-old feral kitten that I adopted when she was four weeks old. I have attempted numerous times to acquaint her with wearing a collar but each time she becomes angry and aggressive and refuses to move except for occasional moments of sliding across the room on her neck. I plan to keep her as a strictly indoor cat but I like the idea of a collar in case she should happen to get out of the house at some point. I’ve heard of microchip implants for identification purposes, but I also know that not every shelter checks for those when a lost animal is brought in. How can I get her used to wearing a collar, or will she ever get used to it? Are there any alternatives to consider? Help!

Can we take our new kitten on short camping trips with us in our camper? I've heard cats don't like to travel.

This is my first kitten/cat ever! I bought a collar for her, but it's too big right now for her. Are their advantages/disadvantages to having a collar on her?
