Going for a ride with daddy
Hi All,
All this good news about little Harri just reminded me of a time when I had taken our Misty (RB) with me for a drive. Misty, as I'm sure I've mentioned, loved rides in the pickup and when she was an only cat, traveled with us through twenty-two states one vacation when we took some time to see the country by driving. My tale though, is about an event that occurred just a half mile from home. DH was away on a girls-only vacation to Las Vegas and I felt like taking a Sunday drive up to the mountaintop lookout at the Mt. Wilson Observatory, which provides a magnificent view of LA. We caught a traffic light on Pacific Coast Highway and pulled to a stop with an SUV on our right. In the back seat of the SUV was a German Shepard. The d*g, who was probably used to riding around with his owner looked over my pickup and did a d*ggy double-take. There, not three feet from his nose was a cat staring back at him. That d*g came completely unglued at the sight and tried to squeeze through the window opening that, wisely on the owner's part, was only big enough for his nose. For Misty's part, she was in kitty heaven. She pawed at our window and gave him her repertoire of obscene kitty gestures. The d*g's owner naturally looked over to see what all the commotion was about and did a double-take of his own. I just smiled and waved as if it were an everyday occurrence to take your cat for a ride. Regards and Purrs, O J |

For Misty's part, she was in kitty heaven. She pawed at our window
and gave him her repertoire of obscene kitty gestures. The d*g's owner naturally looked over to see what all the commotion was about and did a double-take of his own. I just smiled and waved as if it were an everyday occurrence to take your cat for a ride. Regards and Purrs, O J While the best part of taking Harri for walks is the enjoyment she gets from them, it's also quite amusing to watch the reactions of people who see me walking my kitten on a leash. Especially when they see her leaping over clumps of grass, pouncing on invisible prey, etc. Dan |

This reminded me of something that happened in my previous flat, though it was the exact opposite in a way. The flat was half under ground, so my windows were aligned with the ground. One morning, when I hadn't drawn my curtains yet, Frank suddenly started acting strangely. He rushed here and there, looking very upset. Then I drew the curtains, and saw that someone had tied up a huge German Shepherd-looking (though bigger) d*g right outside one of my windows. Frank started stalking back and forth on the windowsill, all puffed up in best Halloween cat mode. The d*g just sat there, looking the other way. I don't think he ever noticed that Frank was inside, making his best effort to scare the intruder off. Frank patrolled that windowsill until the d*g was picked up by its owner. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

I just love the image of the dog going ballistic, while the inaccessible cat sat there calmly, doing the feline equivalent of thumbing her nose. Joyce |

Taking Nox for a walk often gets surprised remarks of "oh! it's a
cat!" as if people "saw" a terrier at the end of the leash and only upon second examination realized the animal's felinity. --Fil |
