Yes, cat walking. Our cat, Sunshine, decided to go for a walk with us today. He is an indoor/outdoor cat that loves the outdoors (he would actually make a really good barn cat).
Normally when we go for a walk, he just follows us down the driveway to see what we are up to. Once he determines that we are leaving the property, he returns to the back deck where he continues his very important schedule of sleeping in the sunbeams. Sometimes he will meow at us while we walk away.
Yesterday, he meowed and walked to the corner (only 2 houses away), but then returned back to our house.
Now, I am not naive enough to think that our cat happily stays in our yard. I am quite sure that at night (or even during the day) he is roaming the neighborhood. I am sure he has his favorite haunts. I am sure he chases the local wild life and might even taunt a dog or two.
Yet, I still think it is a bit odd that he actually went on a walk with us today.
He went around the entire block, meowing and walking the entire way. Only once did he attempt to check out some one's home (they were walking up their driveway and he started to follow them), but I grabbed him and he happily continued to follow us. We also passed some road construction guys & they commented that it appeared we were walking our cat. I seriously thought for a moment that a harness & leash would make this venture much easier!
Hmmm....cat walking...maybe a new business venture? or a new exercise fad? Hmmm....
Happy Walking!
