Taking an indoor cat for a walk

I would further advise, "be prepared to feel silly," but we know you own a cat and a dog, so guess you must have a healthy sense of humor already, right?

Yes, I would like to think I have a sense of humor. I found this cat emaciated, near were I used to live. She needed my help. Neighbors, who were animal
lovers pitched in with some cat they had around. That was all she really needed. My dog has never hurt a cat or squirrel, but has done in a few snakes. I
don't like snakes, so I did not feel that was a big deal. Other than if some how he got bitten. The anti-venom is $1500, so I stay away from swampy areas,
when walking my dog. My dog would growl at the cat, when she was near his food bowl, or when she would hiss at him. She would also flank attack,
when he walked by her. Kind of like push him away. My BC (Border Collie) was very easy to train. I forbade his growling and bark snapping, at the cat. Even though this was just a warning. I did want to come home to chewed cat or clawed up dog. It took over a yr, but the cat got used to my BC.

Now the cat does not like being left alone and will cry meow, when we are both gone. Now my cat will even run noses with my BC, when we get back from a
walk. I am just looking for a way to give my cat a little more fun in life. Besides bird videos on the big screen, which she watches intently.
