We live out in the country, with 2 dogs and a number of cats (currently 7), and several of our cats go on walks with us when we take the dogs out. We have had them cover a couple miles. It's not just one cat, usually 3-5 walk with us, and we have had several "generations" (not decendents, just new batches) of cats do so. We're walking in the woods or on a rarely traveled country road, so cars aren't an issue.
I've also noticed one of my neighbors walking his dog early in the morning along the county (paved) road, his cat also always seems to be following along.
I'm just curious, does anyone else have cats that think they're dogs?
How funny - We have had a few cats that do that! We live out in the country too, and our current cat goes with us and our 2 dogs! He will lag behind sometimes, and when he sees that he is behind, he will run to catch up! I usually won't go too far when he is with us, because I am afraid that he will do it on his own and end up cougar bait!
I am not so sure our cat thinks he is a dog, but we do have a dog that thinks he is a cat! He is a Rodesian Ridgeback and he sneeks up and pounces on things like a cat! He also loves to chase laser lights!

We had a dog-walking cat, but he never thought he was a lowly dog.
Dogs were objects to torment and relieve boredom and much better than any toy ever invented. He'd climb trees en route and call us all - we had to go admire him before he'd come down. Or he'd run along and hide behind a bush waiting for just the right moment to leap out and scare the dogs. It would take some getting used to by the foster dogs!
Bubba loves marching on his leash. I have to get a video and post it. He thinks he's hot stuff stomping around. I'm trying to keep him out of the grass until I get it sprayed for bugs, and give him another dose of flea drops and he marches up and down the sidewalk...Annabelle on the other hand, sits in the front window, with panic on her face....afraid he's going to run away or I'll leave him outside...
Very common, but you have to be really careful. They are easy prey for coyotes who will watch and sneak up and grab one when you're not looking. I also worry about other people's dogs.
I would love to walk my Kinkins. I tried to use a leash on her and everytime she would plop to ground and stop moving. I want to try again tonight...
oh, yeah, the dead kitty move ... my Coco used to do that, just plop and die! Pick her up and she was limp in your hands, no eye contact mind you Only sideways glances and stiff lipped meows. My other cat was a walking kitty -- walked for days.
