Walking Your CAT Day!

February 20, 2015 By: Summer Samba45 Comments

These are MAINE COON sized litter boxes!

According to my editorial calendar, Sunday, February 22 is “Walking the Cat Day.” I was confused by this, since I couldn’t find any reference to it anywhere online. Finally, my human remembered: February 22 is actually “Walking the DOG Day,” but she felt that was unfair, so she marked it down as “Walking the Cat Day.” So yeah, I went out for a walk a couple of days early. But first we had to stop at the pet store and do some shopping. My human said I did not need a litter box this big. I disagree — you can never be too rich or have too big of a litter box!

I'm glad my human doesn't bring home a different brand of litter every week!

It’s amazing, how many different brands and types of litter there are! But to be honest, I think most of these companies are trying to impress humans more than the really important ones — us kitties!

She didn't even buy treats

I finally got fed up with being stuck in the litter section and took off. My human had no choice but to follow me.

I call it the Kitty Prerogative

I turned a corner and walked right down a private hallway. I didn’t care — as a kitty, I can do whatever I want.

Like I care

My human said we were not supposed to be there, but I ignored her.

They need to have a kitty in the break room

I was a little disappointed there was nobody in there. I was hoping for some pets and admiration.

The freeway was across the street and up the hill

On the way back, my human finally stopped and we went for a walk. She took me somewhere I’d never been before. Well, I had passed by it, but only in the car, so it didn’t look familiar.

Now I know what it's like to be cat-called

We walked on both sides of the street and every time a car passed by and I didn’t try to bolt, she told me how good I was being. Sometimes several cars passed by at once. A few people slowed down to look at me and talk to my human.

I think I can handle anything! Well, maybe almost anything

My human says it is important I get a lot of practice being out and walking on my leash because I am going on a big adventure next month! It is going to be busy and noisy and I need to be prepared.

    Being able to walk on a leash must mean that you’ll be able to go on many adventures.

    I wonder what your big adventure will be? You did great on the leash – Toby loves being on a leash – well, not really, but he loves being outside and that is the only way he can go outside is on a leash. He gets lots of looks and questions, too, when he is outside walking!

    You’re doing so well on your harness and leash, Summer! What a good girl not to bolt at all those cars going past, although we do see that your tail was mostly down. That’s how Tabby is with cars going past, too, although sometimes she just simply lays down on the sidewalk and won’t budge! We love that you told your mom exactly what you thought of being stuck in the litter section with no treats! (And we agree with you that the break room should’ve had a kitty in it.) We can’t wait to read how you do on your big adventure! Mommy is planning on meeting you, too.

    You are quite the rebel Summer! You are adorable even when you are giving off some cattitude. 🙂 I love that you are leash trained. It just motivates me to see if I can get Manna to do it.

    well you went for a great walk and saw lots of goodies I never thought of training any of my cats on a leash and I bet Baby would have loved going although he did not like going in the car, had to have the vet come to the house when I needed him except the last time when Baby had to go to sleep, I miss him so much can never replace him

    Summer, that was quite an adventure but if your big adventure is the one that our mommy is planning to go see you at, nothing can prepare you for what will happen when she sees you! She’ll be worse than any car, dog or plane!

    So who leads when you are out walking? The few walks I have had with Frankie established Frankie as the leader and any attempt to alter the trajectory met with stiff resistance.

    unfortunately we got some snow today so I don’t think the boyz would be too interested in taking a walk.
