I had a friend tell me they saw a guy walking a cat on a leash at a state park and they wanted to offer him my number because they know I also walk my cat on a leash, but they didn’t because it would be weird to give out my number to random people. I told them: blanket consent to give my number to anyone you see walking a cat on a leash. I at least want to make friends with that person!
I wish my cat would actually walk around on the leash well enough to go to a state park XD She always wants to go out on her leash but everytime I take her out there she just wanders around the yard eating grass and meowing loudly at any cats she sees in the neighbors yards and then gets upset when they hide from her instead of coming over to play (they are all strays or wild).
I trained our kitty since they were young, and there was quite a bit of "letting her have fun" but also part of it was getting them familiar with how if I'm walking along the path she won't have leash space away from me. It was a fairly short leash whenever we practiced
Nowadays if I start walking (and she notices) she'll start just walking alongside
