Walking the Cat?

Ali and Merrick decided to take the cat, Ritz, for a walk today. He surprisingly complied for the most part. *He is mine and Billy's cat, but lives at mom's because we can't have pets in our house. He loves to go outside, but is an inside cat. I have to admit I have tried this with him in the past. It had pretty embarrassing results: Me dragging Ritz back to the apartment on his leash while my neighbors laughed* He only started hissing toward the end ;)

I'm realizing that my son, and my cat, are a lot alike. They both like to climb things, can't sit still long enough for snuggling, and in general just want to run free in the front yard.
