#the paracord has some spring so we're not getting hard stops but it's smooth enough for the clip to slide easily

do you have any cat leash recommendations?

Not really, actually. I don't take them for walks so their 'leash time' is mostly in my own yard. Mal uses a coated steel cable (overkill) clipped to an overhead line of paracord--she really just walks the width of the yard in order to loaf in different locations. Mayhem is currently on a little short handheld leash while I get her used to the concept of leashes (very confusing) but eventually I'll probably do another overhead paracord line in a different direction so she doesn't tangle with Malice.

Vice usually is just on a random piece of rope tied to his harness, because he doesn't actually want to be outside, he just has turbo FOMO and sometimes it overwhelms his anxiety enough to come out and plaster himself to my shins. I never actually bothered buying him a proper leash, so.... The 'leash' is just so that if he gets startled and bolts I have enough time to snag him and put him back into the catio.

He's good in there.
