Take cat for a walk
Nows here's something I could use, a good walk.
I work hard and sweat, but this does not replace aerobics, getting my heart rate up. I think I will leash my cat and take him on a walk. (remember...two go out, but only one comes back)... why do I get the feeling this is not going to work sounds like another one of my idiot savant hair brained ideas |

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.

Thanks Incidentally, Meep the TravelCat accepts a harness and leash. Unless you're really lucky, though, you'll probably not have a cat that'll go for 'walks' with you. The cat insists on choosing the direction and speed With Meep, we generally go for 'wanders' rather than walks jmc |

The cat insists on choosing the direction and speed but the cats at the carnival were walking tight ropes and climbing ladders, walking little barrels; Im just saying, I guess they are trainable, Im scared people are going to laugh at me |

I hope they're treated nicely. I guess cats can be trained but I imagine it takes a huge amount of patience. You might want to Google "clicker training cats" and see what you come up with. I've thought of doing it with one of mine in particular but haven't done so yet. Apparently it can be enjoyable for the kitties, too. My cats are indoor only but one goes out on a walking jacket. There are 2 pics of him at the end of this album in his jacket: http://photos.yahoo.com/maccandace But he doesn't go for a walk, he meanders. He can also get out of the jacket in about a second if he feels like it even though it's supposed to be almost escape proof so you still have to watch them carefully when they're in it. As for the laughing, I dunno, you have to be man enough to take it, I think. If I have Marbles out in the front yard in his jacket, neighbors seem to flock from miles around to observe the strange phenomenon and they're always laughing but as my one neighbor said, "We're not laughing at him, we're laughing at you." You can take it, be brave. Candace |

That was kind of weird. People stared like they'd never seen a rabbit in their whole lives. Sherry |

Poor Peewuss hasn't been out much since DS came along, though... -L. |

They dodge around right and left so if you simply follow their deviant path you get a good runaround and workout. Mind you, the males really niff! Icedog. |

That's interesting. Around here that's a slang term for skunks. Sherry |
