Walkies with Nikki
 

It was a glorious sunny day on Sunday, and I went out with Nikki on her
harness. They are building a new road close to our house, and at this stage
in the construction, there are huge piles of sand around there. Of course,
Nikki took the opportunity to have a nice long sand bath:

one).

She felt gritty the whole afternoon after that, but now she finally seems to
have cleaned herself up.

On both Saturday and Sunday, people who were walking by complimented Nikki
on how neatly she walks in her harness. I had to check that it was, in fact,
Nikki on the end of the leash.

I hadn't realised that she has become so well-behaved. It took several years
for her to reach this point, when we can actually take a proper walk,
without her darting this way and that and trying to drag me into the brush
or up a tree. When I first put the harness on her when she was still a
kitten, she would fall over and become paralysed. Now she comes running to
me when I jingle her harness. We seem to have reached an understanding. If
we both respect each other needs, we can both enjoy our little outings.

Aw such a good girl!

OTOH, Sammy wasn't so good today ;-( She spotted a squirrel on the
fence before I did, and before I knew it she was jumping up the fence
trying to give chase.

I loved the pictures, and it's cute that people comment on Nikki's
walkies. You're very patient to have allowed her to take her sand
bath, knowing that she was going to be all sandy afterwards.

Nikki's belly is much like Betty's. I think cat bellies are cute, and
occasionally, I'll pick Betty up, hold her upside down like a slice of
watermelon, and plant kisses on her belly.

I seem to remember a certain someone who kept insisting they didn't
have any idea how to be a proper catslave when I started reading this
group last year. Seems Betty has trained you well LOL

This actually shows my inexperience as a slave. By all rights, Betty
should be tearing my face off when I pull this stunt!

But I can't help it, because she's so cute and soft.

Betty seems to be the ideal "beginner's cat". LOL.
