Got approved for my cat to be an ESA

I got recommended a website from my coworker who is a dog trainer. Today i got a consultation and they approved me. Now I have to wait 30 days for my second consult before I cant get my paperwork.

This will help me immensely in the long run. I wont have to worry about pet deposits, pet rent, or even places that don't allow pets.

I started leash training my cat. I also took him on a shopping spree this morning. I got him treats, a harness, a brush - he sheds a lot so i want to control it for public cleanliness when I take him with me.

I took him with me to the pet store, he wasn't happy but he did good staying in the buggy (shopping cart)

OMG, that is WONDERFUL news!! When I was working a girl used tk bring her cat in with her and shop. He was leash trained and would sit and lay down on command. And he knew his name! He had so much personality!!

I am SO happy for you!

Well training is going okay I think. Today I took him to the pet store for some leash training he did good so far. I let him take the lead to gain his confidence but I still guided him away when he tried to climb on the shelves.

When I tried to walk him out the pet store he freaked out. At the moment, the outdoors are too much for him. When I got home I wnated to outdoor train one more time. I basically dragged him the entire way out of my car, across the street, and half way up the stairs. Once we're where at the half way point of the stairs he gain some confidence and walked like it was nothing through the door.

Also I think I need a new harness for him. The one I got him seems to be too big and he looks uncomfortable in it.
