Do Siamese Cats Like to Go on Walks?


How often have you noticed your cat perched on the window sill, gazing out? You might think that he craves an outdoor adventure if your answer to the question is too often. You are right! You can count on your Siamese cat to enjoy the great outdoors.

Siamese cats like to go on walks. They embrace and enjoy the outdoors more than other cat breeds. They are eager to explore the outdoors once allowed and accompanied by their owners. Their love for roaming and exploring kicks in when they see the outside through the windows. 

Batman and Robyn, my Siamese cats, are big fans of the outside world. They enjoy taking short walks. I knew from the start that they would be happiest if I took them for walks outside. 

Sure enough, they always look through the windows like watching TV and enjoy the view every time. 

They appear content and fulfilled after I take them for a short walk once or twice a month. Yes, that frequency (twice a month, at most) is enough to fulfill my cats’ enthusiasm for the great outdoors.

I enjoy adding excitement to my kitties’ lives while keeping them safe.

This article will discuss how much Siamese cats love walks and anything related. Please keep reading to learn more about the pros and cons of walking your furry pet.


Is Walking My Siamese Cat Outside A Good Idea?

Some will scoff at the idea of walking your cat on a leash. Others will not mind giving their cat some fresh air and adventure outside. It is up to you, as a cat parent. 

Walking your cat is good if you consider the benefits and drawbacks.

A few things to remember when you take your cat outside for a short walk:

1. Introduce your cat to his leash and harness before putting them on him.

2. Walk your cat around the house, garden, or yard before going anywhere else. 

3. Bring your cat’s carrier with you in case needed.

4. Give your cat treats and praise whenever he behaves well outside.

5. Do not let your Siamese cat venture too far. 

6. Let your cat be if he is not interested in going out for a walk. 

Some Siamese cats enjoy exploring the outdoors, while others prefer to stay indoors. Some love to be always close to their owners’ homes. Others are brave enough to explore the outside world. 

Please get to know your cat and learn about his personality before deciding whether to take him for a walk or not.
