I remember when I was a little kid and I read the comment section on this video. There was a huge fight between these two people and all I can remember was something about McDonald's... Anyway, I'd come back almost everyday to read what was posted next in the comments because it was fucking HILARIOUS!!!

Jack doesn't hate his leash. He knows exactly what it is, he is not afraid.

She IS being responsible. My cat walks on a leash, too (I posted a vid.) If he's not on a leash he goes on the roof and can't get down. Once he jumped from two stories up off the roof. VERY dangerous. Also an eagle can grab them. Mine is always on a leash because I love him.

Pretty cat. My black cat Mac gets cranky when he's outside on his harness too sometimes (for no apparent reason).

I've seen several dogs WITHOUT leaches in my neighborhood. They're trained well enough to stay with the owner too.

I love this song. It really helps me forget the problems of life

A responsible cat owner puts it on a leash when they take it outside. I hate having cats shitting in my yard, eating birds and leaving feathers strewn about my yard. To the owner of the cat, great job putting it on a leash while outside.

I worked at a lion sanctuary and they disliked any cameras near them... Its got something to do with the vibrations in the camera that only they can pick up...thats why the kitty is so stressed...

my cat gets like that when she's outside too, she's such a nice lovable cat but when I take her out on a leash it's like the wild side of her comes out!

EXACTLY! my cats are NEVER allowed outside. we have horrible neighbors that are not fans of cats. I worry about there safety. I agree 10000%

I used to let my grandma's cat out like this. She would sniff the vines and then get REALLY cranky! The misplaced agression is because a cat has come around and sprayed and when she smells that she gets territorial.

I have a burmese cat, and I was told by the breeders to never ever let her out unsuprevised, and always put her on a leash if I want to take her out somewhere where it is possible for her to run away (like we fixed all the holes in our garden fence so she can walk around there without a leash, but still supervised). Some breeds/cats just can't be let out on their own because they are prone to running away, so it's for their own safety, I dont get all the people who left you negative comments >_>

I know it was 4+ years ago, but I have to defend this poor girl. 1) Cats sometimes run away because they see a bug/chipmunk. 2) Even though they are animals, like someone said, if they are not used to the outdoors they can get hit by a car. 3) If you live in an area like mine, housecats are on the menu for coyotes. 4) Look sweetie, the cat probably isn't directly mad at you or "being mean." No cat likes a leash, yours just knows that's the only way it can go outside. And it loves the outside! :D

i would never keep a cat if i lived somewhere where they couldn't go outside.

That cat seemed perfectly fine on the leash. I bet the reason she was so upset was the bush she was smelling. My cats love to go out on our front deck but sometimes another cat will wander up and spray something on our porch, and then when my cats come out and sniff it they go nuts hissing at everyone and etc. That's my best reasonable guess, though cats can just be moody for no reason too xD

The girl sounds just like lona in Harry potter! Haha sweet!

Kitty: "I'm not a dog damnit get me off this leash!!" Ha Ha! A harness would be a better idea, I have 1 for my cat.

we also have leashes for our cats because we live in a city where they would get hit by a car outside. However,like someone else said your cat should be in a harness not a neck leash it is safer for her. Our cats usually hiss if we take them inside too soon....you're cat probably wanted to explore more :) If we have time and patients we usually follow them around and they walk back inside the house when they are done :) No worries!

If any of my animals were mean to my kids like that I'd let em run away!

Children like to be in control too sometimes. Sometimes they like to play in traffic too. But parents should protect their children and not let them do whatever they want no matter how dangerous it is. Guardians should take care of their companion animals, not just neglect them and let them run around loose so they could get hurt. She did NOT deserve bad comments.

Mercy Me-"I can only Imagine" i went to one of there concerts, Winter Jam

I use to take my cat to the lake on her leash, she loved it. We stopped when she started getting flees.

If he runs away, he doesn't wants to be in your presence.

Cat doesn't like the strange people, same here.

some cities have laws where you need to keep a cat on a leash now--so that way it doesnt come home with rabies, UTI's, etc.

"if you dont like it, dont watch it." HURR HURR thank gods for my time machine. I'll go back and warn myself now.

Judging by the collar she's a house cat, so the leash is the way to go for personal reasons and safety for the cat's health :) Ignore the mean people and enjoy your lovely cat

Children don't like going to the doctor, going to school, or not being allowed to go wherever and do whatever but that's why they have parents or guardians. DOMESTICATED animals need guardians to PROTECT them. Domestic cats and wild cats are very different. As different as domestic dogs and wolves.

thats funny same happens to me i cant go to sleep because i get woken up by the cat with no tail from upstairs whoring around and my little kitty trying to play with her lol

Cute cat, My cat wont go on a leash but wen she does get out she gets pissed when I try to grab her lol

Some who left comments here are idiots! She is not hurting the cat in the slightest! Leashes are the only way some cats can ever go outdoors. My cat LOVES going out on his long leash in our backyard! Unless you live in a park or estate, letting your cat run free exposes him to all kinds of dangers, pestilence & diseases. Better to go out on harness & leash than go free and get run over by a car, tortured by a psycho, pick up a disease, or get lost and starve or freeze to death!

Ive loved that song

Ok, I have noticed some things that the cat probably hates. 1. The buckle on the collar is too heavy for the cat's neck. 2. Who puts a leash on a cat anyway. 3. Being Stalked. 4. Getting a camera in its face. 4.

I'm lucky. I let my cat into the back garden everyday. He knows never to stray too far, and has always returned home, even after leaving him out overnight (so far anyway..).

if i had to hear that voice all day i would probably hiss and swat too. and yes, a harness is what a person would use on a cat. news flash, cats are not dogs, they don't get the whole leash on the neck thing and all they will do is pull and get worked up and eventually strangle themselves. better yet if your cat is either too stupid to find its way back home or hates living with you so much it won't come back just keep him in the house.

I love that song! But please get a kitty harness for her. It's better for her because if you have a break-away collar (and you should for safety reasons) if she suddenly pulls away from you, like she got scared, then you can lose her. If you don't have a break-away collar then she can really hurt herself if she tries to run from you. You will have better control of the cat if you get a cute harness for her.

i like how she blames her black friend for the cat being mean

Some cats just don't like to be petted when they're outside. :)

I love this song... "I Can Only Imagine"

My cats are harnass/leash trained, that way they can get a taste of the outdoors while still being safe about it

People just can't help criticize evrything whnever they can... I did that with my cat when he was a kitten, and the reason I stopped taking him for a walk on my shoulders or with the leash was he was very afraid of people and noises of Paris... He would hiss at everyone, cute little boy standing on my shoulder :D!

A cat's tail usually shows how the cat is feeling...the fact it's swooping from one side to another means it's pissed off...and you're supposed to back off or risk an attack....

some people do... and some species of cats love to go out on walks and even doesn't mind the leash.

My friends cat got out once and went roaming the neighborhood. It came back the next day with a hole in its neck (it was gross you could see the muscle) and it died 3 days later.

I had a cat for 23 years before she passed on. She was most definitely not a creature of solitude, she could barely stand me leaving the house. Just because cats are largely dis-interested in humans doesn't mean you can't develop a relationship just like you can with a dog. Cat's might act a little hard to get, but I'm tellin' you, once you connect with cat, you'll see an entirely different side of them. You just have to do a little work to get to that point, which is what this girl is doing.

girl seems all scatterbrained... and shes talks like shes trying to tell us that she not at fault, but it almost sounds like shes trying to tell herself that

I hate people who "overrate" themselves. Cute black cat though.

I have two 20 lbs cats that ive trained to sit on my shoulders and to be on leashes. they love it. it really is nothing uncommon....

Just wanted to say cute cat and cute vid. Sounds like you were having a lot of fun. Definitely sounds like you love your cat very much.

That interesting so many ppl either disliked the video, or complained about the type of leash the cat was on. First off, if trained and according to temperament, a cat can go on a leash like that. Second, the cat was not mad about being on the leash, the cat was mad at being disturbed and "annoyed" while outside. If the cat was upset about the leash, she would have been fighting and struggling to get it away form her/off of her neck. End of story. No harm, no foul.

Don't know if it's been said elsewhere but you should probably invest in a harness. They place less strain / irritation on the cat's neck and allow them greater freedom to "figure out" how far they're allowed to run / roam from you. Also, if your cat is unfamiliar with somewhere, you shouldn't try to pet it or touch it while it's exploring. It needs to understand that there is nothing to be afraid of before it will be comfortable enough to be social.

I love that song in the background MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine

I understand the leash thing. I used to let my cat out in our backyard and well...she climbed up a tree and I had to get her down lol But the hissing? ...she was probably just irritated by the camera and everything. I don't know.

My cats have never been eaten by coyotes or wolves, or run over. I don't let them out with out being on a leash. I wish I could do it. Its not a perfect world. I love them and If I have to run a cat penitentiary I will do it

Cats are VERY intelligent, no matter how much they seem not to be. They can tell if someone is annoying them. .. Am I right...?

You'd have to ask the local animal shelter about that. They usually are the ones who remove the animals that have been shot or left skinned by the side of the road.

actually i got a cat who likes being on the leash, and i take him for walks all around town. Amusing to see a cat act like a dog^^

Yeah cats can be very unstable creatures. Anyone who as ever seen a real catfight knows how vicious they can be, but 5 minutes later they go home to cuddle with their owners.

If any animal I owned attempted to bite/injure me (its master/provider) out of anger... I would quickly 1) backhand it/kick it with appropriate force then 2) get close to see if it still tries to injure me. 3) Repeat steps two and three until it realizes its place. If it doesn't realize its place, then call animal control so that it may be eventually killed legally. -Ty

Having three cats doesn't make you an expert on feline behavior. The same case with violet46 happened with me. Some cats hate indoors. It helps that the cat knows it has a place to eat/sleep, but cats also aren't so domesticated that they can't fend for themselves and stay away from hobos with BBQs.

your cat looks like my cat and you sound like a nice person and ill beleive you that you are a nice person and wouldnt hurt animals

@17foxman I'm willing to bet that the leaves the cat was sniffing was catnip. I remember when I let my cats out in the backyard, one of them always went to the patch of catnip that was out there. The cat would stay there, and when I try to pet or get it, it would get annoyed. Didn't want me to stop it.

she likes being on a leash. Oh yeah! She must love it.

i have a cat named sophie too she is in my lap going hussdle

Lol he looks Exactually like my aunts cat, and she used to take her on a leash when she was yound lol.

@ThatwasTERRIBLE My cat is a sweetheart and not demonic in any way thank you very much. When she was a young kitten she did scratch, but now that she is a lil older she does not bite or scratch. She is very loving and a lil cuddle bug. Even when she is in a bad mood she does no harm to me. She will hiss and spit but she has never bit me.

"Lyke ohmagad! I loves mah catz! I'm not a mean person! Like ohmagad!" Cats take care of themselves...girl should've taken the hiss as a warning instead of "Ohmahgad! Let me touch him. He never hisses!" wow...

I think keeping the cat on a leash is better than losing track of it and it bolting into the street and getting crushed by a car. It was probably more agitated at her constantly bothering it than the leash. If cats are kept indoors most of the time, they don't always have the instincts or directional skills to stay near home and get back when lost.

this poor girl needs a friend...

Gosh, lighten up everyone. Some cats enjoy being outside on a leash. The breeder for my Ragdoll suggested taking her out on a leash once in a while.

Guys dont bash her! It is domesticated society for gods sakes! If her catll run away she puts it on a leash, if it like to go outside put it on a leash and it wonr get away; it is domesticated society and that is the world we live in so dont be complaining about it!

@Inuyashafangirl2back I definitely agree on using a harness. It would be much more comfortable for any cat that has to be leashed.

lol 0:23 "chargeableness"

Be sure to get a harness rather than a neck-collar for walking your baby, hon. You'll have her from some trouble, and it's worth getting her used to wearing it. My sister-in-law harness-trained her cat, and now he'll actually come walking to her with it in her mouth! I bet your kitty got scent of some catnip-like plants in the grass, and that may have been the reason she hissed. She wanted to stay and have a roll on the nice-smelling plants.

Hah, once I took a walk with my cat with a leash. She really enjoyed it, she's really sociale so she let everyone pet her, but the reason why I didn't do it twice is that she kept smelling everything everywhere, so it took about an hour to walk 2 streets and come back xD So I leave my 3 cats in my garden when they want to go out; it's all closed, they really can't escape.

Sophie is so cute! I have a cat exactly like her. His name is Aleister. For some reason black cats are pretty aggressive. That's the honest truth. My grey tabby never acts like that. LOL! Hug Sophie for me! :D

umm, if i had to listen to that voice for 24 hours a day for years i may just bite and hiss a little too :)

Your cat is so PRETTY!

Because a cat dragging her car-tire-crushed back end across a street is much better than having to walk around outside on a leash?

Chargableness?!?! it really takes an honestly CLUELESS DINGBAT to use such a non-exsistant word.

D: they have leashes for kids, and birds, and cats, and dogs, and and and and. D< lossa things. D: -nods-

Leave the girl around. She playing with her toy. :D I don't know what she will do with him in the long run. LOL!

Sweet^^ I wish my cats could get used to leashes so I could take them for walks, they're so lazy XD

lol your cat is so adoreable!

Where we live. . . an outside kitty is a dead kitty. We have owls, eagles, hawkes, falcons, coyotes, wolves and fox. . . That's just what I have seen on my property!!! We have two cats. We take them out but we also keep them on a line. Because if the wild animals don't eat them. . . the cars on the highway we live next to will. Nothing cruel about it. If it's ok to put a dog on a leash. . . then nothing wrong with a cat!!!

The people who are all throwing temper tantrums about leashing this cat haven't been to NYC. A leash is not inhumane or cruel, it's a way to stop kitty becoming part of someone's tire.

The cat got pissed cause you put it on a leash like a dog. "HISS! GET THIS OFF OF ME OR I'LL BITE YOU!"

My cat looks identical except I let it roam free :)

The lady in the video is a responsible pet owner.

...... *sigh* Domestic cats are exactly that--domestic. My point is this: If you truly loved your animal, you wouldn't even put her in a situation that has a risk of danger. It's not the CAT that needs to be responsible, it's YOU, its caretaker. The sooner you realize that, the better chance your pet has to avoid a horrible fate.

I like it a lot too, although I am not religious.

Cats deserve protection too. Cats should be cared for responsibly just like dogs! Just like dogs, cats do not fully understand traffic laws. They do not know that antifreeze is poisonous or that man that's picking up animals is selling them to be burned and cut up in laboratories. Taking care of and protecting your companion animals and kids is a good thing, it isn't cruel.

It's perfectly normal to take a cat outside on a lead. I have a cat that was born on a horse ranch and I live in a city, so I walk her all the time -- she's trained for it, and behaves better than most dogs. Your cat probably smelled a tomcat or something else that scared her a lot. No worries. Just keep training her on the leash -- but I do suggest getting her a chest harness instead of just clipping the leash on her collar, it's more comfortable for her.

Freak on a leash. Except the freak is at the *other* end of the leash - i.e. taking the cat for a walk ;).

..It's possible to put a cat on a leash people. If you Train it. my neighbor did that with her cat because she couldn't let it go outside because we lived in a apartment so she walked her on a leash and the cat didn't mind. And some people have just indoor cats because they don't want to loose them. so they take them on walks.

"she likes being on a leash!" Why the hisses then?

i'd be mad too if i had a stupid ass owner who puts me on a leash

You should use a harness if she doesn't like the leash and if she doesn't choke herself with it. They make harnesses especially for cats and they are actually inexpensive i got mine on ebay for only $10 shipped. Of course my cat refuses to use it! ;)

From experience: A. Yes, ppl do walk their cats on leashes. I've seen in the Southern US moreso, however. B. Cats are nuts and will act randomly and can get angry for no apparent reason. So I think you guys should stop blaming her.

exactly cats love to explore but dogs like to take walks with their owners and cats dont get angry that easily obviously very pissed off
