My poor little Noel....I subject her to horrific things...
I bought a new harness last week and thought I could take one of the cats outside for a walk this weekend. I picked Noel because she cries and cries to go outside with me when I water the plants on the balcony.
I put the harness on and she instantly flopped to the ground and then just laid there. She wasn't mad and quickly realized it was on and she couldn't do anything about it. I clipped on the lead and took her out on the balcony. She laid down at first and then saw the plants she loves to chew on. She was doing good, until I got my great idea. :rolleyes:
We have a grassy area in our complex close to our apartment that I thought she would really enjoy. Lots of grass to eat. ;)
Yea...she didn't. As soon as I left the front door, she began her "I'm going to the vet cry". I thought that once she saw where we were going, she would be OK. Nope...it got worse. :( I out her down on the grass and she almost stopped crying until this man came by with his Jack Russell. He was on a leash, but loose, allowing the plastic thing to bang all over the sidewalk. I grabbed Noel and held her to my chest while the man said "Don't worry, we have two cats." I said, "She's never seen a dog, so she's very scared." Meanwhile, the dog is jumping about three feet in the air, trying to get at Noel! (I am SO a cat person! ;) ) The man sits on the ground at least 25 feet away and gets out his cell phone for a chat! :rolleyes:
Now Noel is scared and I turn to take her home, trying to ignore the dog. The dog wants to play with Noel...and procedes to wrap himself and his leash around my legs. The stupid guy just sat there yelling the dogs name!
Thank God, my hubby heard Noel crying and he rescued us. He took Noel from me and walked back to our apartment. I had to untangle the dog from my legs and started walking back too. The dog decided that he wanted to come get Noel from our apartment so he began chasing David! I had to hold the dog so David could get home without this dog annoying Noel anymore...all while this man remained on his cell phone, yelling the dogs name! :rolleyes:
We finally got inside and David gave all the cats treats while we took the harness and lead off Noel. She was fine!! She doesn't hate me and even wanted to be pet. Thank goodness. That's my sweetie girl!
Anyway, hope this provided some sort of entertainment. ;)
