I tried walking the late Louie, with mixed results. I took Andy and Dougy for walks in a carriage designed for safely walking small pets, but never on a harness.
As much as Louie love, love, loved being a part time outside kitty boy, he still determined when that outside time was.
This was a particularly successful walk with Louie. Note that I let him freewheel it. The one time I tried to put a harness on him, it took him less than the time from putting him down on the ground till he was out of it!
Lol! I tried it with my old siamese once…he almost killed me.
I think you have to start them on the leash when they are kittens. (I never tried it, though.)
Wonderful set of old videos, Doug! Louie had such beautiful markings!
I thought he was the most handsome kitty boy I’d ever seen!
Beware: Mr Andy is listening!
Andy is beautifu7l in a different way!
Andy is gorgeous in every way!
Andy says “Meow, Dolly!” (I’m sure “Dolly” is the same in any language, including Cattinese!)
LOL Meowing right back to the little darling!
My laptop has fallen ill and is going to the computer doctor right now. I will have to use The Boss’ computer when he is not working.
Can’t live without the dang things! I know I’ve stopped everything to replace them when the dreaded “Blue Screen” signaled a computer death. Best wishes for a timely fix on yours, Dolly!
It’s the end of the semester, I am horrendously busy, and it chose to slow down and wink and blink at me! Fortunately, the young lady Computer Nerd (that’s what she calls herself) is excellent. I hope to get it back by Monday as my husband’s machine doesn’t have a webcam.
Gad! Is there anything that happens when it’s convenient?
There is, Doug! My son and grandkids are here, and I am using my son’s super-techie tablet.
What good luck!
Having hard drive changed, no big deal, thank G-d. Using The Boss’ computer while he is out working.
While my son and the kids were here, Pyshka screamed all night by our bedroom door. Both of us got up several times to check on food, water and litter, but everything was in order. She went on screaming, raising the volume. Finally she started hitting and scratching the door (Barmalei can open doors, but she hasn’t figure it out yet). In the morning we found bold spots on the door and paint flakes all over the floor. I think she just got tired of too many people and too much action and wanted her mommy.
They can get that way, for sure.
Now she is following me around and meowing if she doesn’t see me. Childhood traumas are still felt, I think.
Kitties do hold those forever.
I agree. Got my laptop back – I am one happy cat!
Good news! It really is easier to use one’s own laptop since it’s set up the way that works best for you!
Certainly! I have all my work files here and I need a webcam for classes. Using my phone connected to my husband’s PC was torturous.
What a handsome cat Louie was ! And you are right – going in is as good as being a good boy about the collar !
I agree. I thought he was the most handsome kitty boy I’d ever seen.
Louie was such a cutie.
He had tons of personality, too. He was a shelter kitty. The moment I let him loose in the apartment, he walked around to every room and opened every cabinet door. LOL!
What a big handsome kitty Louie was! I know you miss him.
He was a special kitty, very affectionate and clever.
Louie had very beautiful markings, Doug. He was a big kitty, in the Galaxy class! That was good he would walk along with you, and not take off! It looks like he had his own particular route he took on those walks. Its nice you have all this footage of him to remember him by. I know you miss him terribly.
Yes, those walks were lots of fun for the both of us, though he shocked me sometimes by taking me places that might have alarmed neighbors to see me, but not Louie. I sometimes had to take a different route and rejoin him later.
Louie was a handsome guy, Doug! So funny how he went in and out of the apartment, does he want to be outside or not!
He had different priorities that day or, maybe, he spotted a kitty rival and was frightened.
Well done for persevering
Louie was a great kitty boy. Very personable and smart. I enjoyed our walks, though he took me to some fairly problematic places sometimes. Of course, walking a cat when the cat gets to set the agenda and the duration spent sniffing flowers and eating grass is problematic unless you are retired and have the time! LOL!

The most amazing thing I ever saw was a man taking a ferret for a walk. Have a look at

WOW! On the other hand, as high energy as ferrets are, this probably helps wear them out in a positive way, much like walking a Jack Russell terrier or other high energy dog does. (Inside kitties wear it off through play and the no9ctutrnal “zoomies” all cat people are familiar with!)
