How can I make my cat not afraid to go outside?
To make a cat unafraid of going out, you need to patiently socialize it. First, let the cat get used to staying in a cat carrier, then take it out for a walk in the carrier. If the cat is relaxed in the carrier, you can take it out and let it observe the outside world in your arms. Second, after the above training, let the cat get used to wearing a collar, then take it out to play like walking a dog. At this stage, try to go out in the early morning or evening to reduce the cat's stress response. Finally, after each successful outing, give the cat an appropriate reward such as a treat, petting, or a toy, so it links going out with a pleasant experience.
