A Cat on a Bicycle!
Nope, this isn't a funny video. I was driving to the library on the island
to drop off some books and pick up some more. I spotted a woman riding a bicycle on the golf-cart path... with a cat draped over her shoulder! It appeared to be a tortie. She was draped over her shoulder as she peddled along the cart path. I've seen a lot of strange things here. Alligators aside, I once saw a woman wearing roller blades being pulled along the cart path by a very large standard poodle. Apparently she was letting the dog take her out for a walk. LOL But I've never before seen a woman riding a bicycle with a cat draped over her shoulder. Until today :) Jill |

(When I think of all the traumas I put that cat through, it's no wonder he was neurotic - like dressing him in doll's clothes, seating him in a doll's highchair, and frequently treating like an animated doll - proof that kids should not be allowed unsupervised control of their pets.) |

Did you have him tied down or something? How could he not jump out of a basket?

It sounds like the worst you did was to annoy him a great deal, but that no actual harm was done. I still agree with not letting kids have too much alone time with pets, unless the parents take a lot of time to carefully teach the kids to treat the pets decently. -- Joyce We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both. -- Louis D.

Joy Trust me, she wasn't wearing a jacket, she was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. The cat was just sort of draped over her shoulder. It didn't look like it was hanging on for dear life. And she wasn't peddling at breakneck speed... just leisurely riding her bike along the golf-cart path. Apparently the cat is used to this :) Jill |

Did you have him tied down or something? How could he not jump out of a basket? A harness and a tightly held leash - he DID "jump out" on occasion, and dangled from the handlebars until I could replace him in the basket. He started life as a feral kitten who wandered into my summer camp one day and was fed on leftovers - potato salad, spanish rice, etc. - by the kitchen staff, until I took him home at the end of the session. (Despite my mother's written "Don't you DARE bring that cat home!") Perhaps he didn't have such a bad life after all. My mother had just remarried - a man with two boys - and the human adjustments to the change in our households were not easy. Peter came in for a lot of cuddles because all three of us kids would pick him up to tell our troubles to. |
