“The Trailblazers community has helped me strengthen the bond with my kitties, even the ones that don’t “adventure.” The support and advice from all of the members has become something that I look forward to. This group is a support system with the common goal of enriching our kitties lives, while helping each other reach our goals.”

–Kela & Kuma + Tasha

“I want to recognize KittyCatGO Trailblazers as a forum where we can share ongoing challenges and see the progress over the months of the stops and starts, the wins and failures, where we can all share what’s working and what’s not so that we can come together as a community… and bring the best to our cats.”

–Adami & Anjohl + Terri

“I really appreciate the insights, knowledge, support, and friendships that I have gained through Trailblazers. Many of the challenges help keep me to be more consistent in not only my cat’s training but also in his enrichment. I believe that he is living a better life because of my involvement with Trailblazers.”

Meet the Human Behind Trailblazers

Hi, I’m Emily – cat trainer and cat adventure enthusiast!

Back in 2012, I started taking our cat Sophie out in the backyard. After seeing how much she loved playing outside, I realized how much indoor cats are missing out on.

That’s why I started KittyCatGO – to educate and encourage others on how to safely explore the great wide world with their cats. And what better way to do that than through an online community dedicated exclusively to doing just that!

I hope you’ll come join the fun! Your cat will thank you 😉

Frequently Asked Questions

That’s okay! There are adventurers of all experience levels here in Trailblazers – even some who haven’t even started harness and leash training yet. The group activities are designed in such a way that there is something for everyone, no matter where you are in your journey.

Members are welcome and encouraged to ask questions anytime and to share about any cat-related struggles they are having. The community is always there to offer encouragement, insights, and advice based on their own experiences. We have group discussions on various topics, and there is even a whole section of the group dedicated to asking and looking for recommendations on topics such as training, gear, etc.

The monthly activities will give you new ideas of things to try with your cat and offer a bit of extra motivation to reach your goals. They are also usually designed to give your cat a new form of enrichment and to help them progress with a specific area of their training.

The group is run and organized by a certified cat trainer who specializes in traveling and adventuring with cats, so you’ll have direct access to be able to get help along your journey whenever you need it.

And of course, everyone is there to cheer you on every step of the way.

The activity/challenge theme changes every month. Some examples of past activities include:

Scavenger Hunts
Clicker Training
Cooperative Care Skills
Cat Agility
Acclimating to Water
Box Fort Building
Prepping for Vet Visits

No matter the theme, there are activities that take place both outdoors and indoors, so there is something for everyone to participate with, even if they’re not quite ready for outdoor adventures yet.

Absolutely! There are a wide range of experience levels represented, not to mention the various schedules everyone has in their own lives, so it is understood that everyone will participate in their own time. There are no expectations or requirements for participation or rate of progress.

Though the monthly activity/challenge theme may change each month, you are more than welcome to take however long you want to work on your chosen activities or even go back to revisit past month’s activities. The resources and activities are there for you whenever and however you’d like to participate.

No worries! You are able to participate in any of the other past activities at any time, so if one month doesn’t appeal to you, there are plenty of other things you can do instead. The Zoom chats are fun to attend even if you aren’t participating in this month’s activities, and the community is ALWAYS there for support, encouragement, and discussion.

The Zoom chats typically take place on the first Monday of the month at 8pm ET and on the third Friday of the month at 3pm ET. The times alternate to accommodate the many different time zones represented in the group.

Zoom chats are not recorded.

There are currently 4 titles available: Harness & Leash Pro, Pathfinder, Cooperative Care Champion, and Cat-Friendly Locations Conqueror. Each one is designed to help you and your cat work on specific skills related to training, adventuring, and general cat care. Once you’ve completed the required tasks to earn a title, you and your cat will have made significant progress in your training and further strengthened the bond you share.

Each Title has a list of required tasks to complete. As you complete them, you can share about them in the group and submit the required “proof” at the end. Once a Title has been earned, you will receive a personalized badge photo as well as a printable PDF certificate.

Absolutely! Though the majority of the members are in the US, there are members from all parts of the world – including Canada, Sweden, Germany, and Australia.
