Walking the Cat: Seriously?!?

Some of you probably take your kitties for walks on the streets. I've never seen somebody walk their whiskers in my nation. Naturally, I only see people walking their dogs here. I worry that I might be able to do this with my cat if I have one. I'm worried that dogs in the area will chase her.
Do you think it is important to walk your pet daily?
Which is preferable: a cat or dog, or a 'simple pet' like a goldfish?

If it's possible to walk it daily yes it just depends with one's schedule and also it's dangerous to walk cats due to the fierceness of the dogs

@Shavkat that's a good initiative here we have stray dogs Al I've r at some point the county government usually poisons them so as to reduce their population. It's so sad

Our cats here are free. They roam around on their own.

I have seen people walking their cats, usually those who live in an apartment, it's a way to let the kitty enjoy the outside without risking that the poor thing runs away and gets killed by a car. I prefer cats, they are independent and I let my cat go out in the garden, no need to take care of walking my cat.

I have seen a couple of people walk their cat but it is a very rare occurrence. I have two cats, and I don't think they would like me to take them for a walk. If the cat wants to do it, I don't see any reason not to. My step-daughter used to take her pet bird out of walks. The bird would be on a lead, wouldn't fly off, and would mostly either walk in front or sit on someone's shoulder.
As for a preferable pet, that depends what you want from a pet. I have cats. They can be annoying but they're mostly easy. As long as they have food, water, warmth, and a clean litter tray, they don't care if people are here or not.
I wouldn't mind having smaller pets - fish, small birds, tiny turtles. I'm too lazy for any creature that's more effort that feeding it and looking at it!

That's cute! I've only seen birds being taken out in movies. In China, most kids have these easy pets. For the reason that they do not have enough time to take good care of dogs, cats, etc. They are always loaded with homework. I would rather have a cat or dog in my house than them.

I may if it is on a leash. But my cats walk themselves every day whenever I'm out with my grandbaby for a nearby stroll, they are out too, frolicking on the pavement. The neighbors' dogs barked at them but they just stare back and go on with their activity.
BTW, the dogs are confined in their dog houses.

Nobody walks their cats around here, most people walked were dogs.

I wouldn't walk my cat here because of stray dogs. But some areas are safer
