Yes they can! I used to put my Turkish Angora on a leash, carry him to the end of the block and set him down and he would head for home while I walked along with him. After a while he look forward to our walks and would go willingly on the leash.
You have to have a strong bond of trust with your cat though. It is mean to take your cat for a drag while they fight the leash.

Of course they can, that's why they make harnesses for cats as well as leashes. I doubt they'd like to be restrained though, they're hunters by nature, independent. I think they'd prefer to go out on their own naturally.

Yes, from personal experience you can, but you have to use a leash and watch them closely, and you have to start when they're young so they're used to it, and you're better off doing it in less inhabited areas because many spook from cars, people, dogs, etc.

It doesn't come naturally to them at first but they will grow up to genuinely enjoy it especially if they're indoor house cats the rest of the time.

And yeah, it does look a little embarrassing for guys, but if you love your cat and want it to be happy then that's an excellent reason to swallow your pride and let it have a walk.

They make leashes and harnesses for cats, all you have to do is train them. A lot of cats love to go outside and climb, with their owners, a leash and harness they can do so without getting stuck.

Not that I have ever seen for myself they cannot.
What I have seen in cats are a most opinionated creature which does only precisely as it wishes.
And not a bit more.
Dogs yes, cats definitely no.

Have you ever tried this? Well I have when I was a child and I'll tell you that it is not such a good idea! Cats are extremely stubborn animals!

It's actually really unnecessary for a cat to be taken for a walk. Especially when they can go to the bathroom on their own. I don't see anything wrong with walking the cat, but again, it's unnecessary.

 Who says you have to poo when you go for a walk? I don't. My dog doesn't and my cat doesn't either. It has to do with companionship.

Cats, unlike dogs are self sufficient animals and don't need to be taken care of as much. This includes taking them for a walk, THEY CAN DO IT THEMSELVES!

It is not manly to be seen walking the cat.

 It's not manly to take a chiwawa for a walk either though.

I never thought of it that way ,but if i had a cat or pet i wouldn't take my cat for a walk. Like all people i would get a litter box and make my cat use that.

Cat's are homebodies. I guess I never saw that dogs go on walks and cats never do. Good thought
