    Outdoor fun.

    Bella loves her picture taken. Especially whens she's outdoors. She is such a lovey and I rescued her 3 years ago. She loves her forever home and her siblings. More pics of her to come.

    What a beauty you are, Bella! Thanks for posting.

    I tried Spunky on a harness early on. He has too much energy.

    Sam is too limber. He can slide out of any harness as long as he has leverage.

    I've not tried the others.

    I have 2 other cats. My Savannah is also trained and he's my most active. My other cat doesn't want to even look at it and runs when she sees it. lol. Every kitty is different. lol. Patience is all it takes and not forcing them. Game you thinking of leash training???

    I don't understand your last question.

    Yep, they are different. I would love to leash them. I actually tried it with Spunky once long ago. The outdoors was like caffeine to a recovering addict. Nope. One day I might be able to build an enclosure that is safe.

    There isn't much to explore around here. Three trees in the yard, no bushes, load of red clay with sparse grasses, and fire ants. My crew might make the acquaintance of a coyote, wild dog, possum, field mice, gopher, etc. Some are shy and others are not. Woods are across the street, and I prefer to keep contact with its denizens in the realm of possibility and not actuality.

    Spunky would love outdoors, but it's not safe around here. He's far too independent for a leash.

    I'm not risking Sam on a leash.

    Jane likes indoors. She'll sit at the door, but when I approach she moves away. She was dumped. She has no intention of being outdoors.

    So does Bob. He was dumped. Same thing.

    And Kimi. She is new. I don't think she's ever been outdoors.

    Callie is scared of her own shadow. She's lived outdoors, and was not successful, which is why she is inside now.

    Lexus (new foster) survived a house of horrors. She's not being leashed.

    Bella's so pretty! I've never tried taking my cats out. Two are a bit older now. Missy could care less. Angel might like it if I tried.
    Tessa, well, I'm lucky to even touch her much less put a harness on her. She was a feral cat.

    Leash Training

    I guess there was some confusion on my spelling and what I was trying to say. Sometimes I miss type as I'm writing. lol All my kitties are indoors. I have 2 leashed trained. When I rescued Bella I didn't think she was going to like the harness but it didn't seem to faze her as she was fine with it the first day. So I took her out in my backyard since it's fairly large and had her explore and now she just likes going out and enjoy a little sunshine when the weather is nice. Titan my Savannah loves it outside and knows when I have the harness and leash he is waiting by the sliding door. lol Smart kitty. Misty on the other hand is like forget mom it ain't happening and you're not putting that thing on me and I rather stay inside! lol She used to be my little escape artist but now she doesn't want to go out at all. When I leashed trained Titan he was a kitten. So he was easy to train. Adults are a little harder unless they are docile like my Bella you won't have an issue. Some kitties just rather stay indoors which is even better and safe. I always make sure my kitties are supervised. They are never left alone. Just wanted to clarify. Happy Sunday.
