LOL-I've never been able to train a kitten to walk on a leash, other's do it. I suspect I lost patience long before the time needed to succeed.
Having been there, and failed, I can assure you the cat intuits exactly how you feel about it and reacts accordingly.
If you brook no nonsense and DEMAND the cat's attention, I'm told by those who have succeeded, the cat takes to the leash beautifully.
I've seen a guy and his girlfriend walking a cat down a sidewalk in downtown Oakland. It's QUITE THE SIGHT, let me assure you, and that cat was just as perky and contented to be leashed as any dog I've ever seen.
