Seriously? Apparently so - some people have actually broken the cat-leash barrier. Here is the editorial review of the official guide to walking your cat:

Walk Your Cat - The Complete Guide is written for indoor cat owners who want to give their cats access to the outdoors by taking them for walks on a leash. While it is often believed that cats can’t be leash-trained, Walk Your Cat shows that taking your cat for a walk does not have to be a drag. This book is unique in that the authors have developed a thorough, easy-to-follow approach to walking cats that is solidly grounded in the current scientific understanding of feline behavior. Following their approach, you can allow your cats to enjoy a full range of natural behaviors while on walks, making their lives richer and healthier. But, Walk Your Cat is more than just a training guide. Getting to the heart of feline behavior to show you how cats can be leash-trained, the book offers readers a new window into the inner lives of their cats–as well as insights into the important and natural role that walks on a leash have to play in the life of the modern indoor cat.
