PHOTOS of Felicity's 1st car ride

[veegan]

After much deliberation.. I finally decided to take Felicity on a car ride with me. I hate going on errands alone, and Ive always thought it would be fun to take her. (I know Felix could never handle that much stress..) But Ive always hesitated because I kept imaging her getting out when I opened the door or something. So.. I bought her a harness and leash today. I just buckled the loopy part of the leash into the passenger side seatbelt. She was really scared and shakey when we first got in the car, but I hugged and comforted her for a while and she calmed down. She sat in my lap most of the time, but popped up to look out the window a few times. I would like to make car outtings a regular thing with her. So hopefully she will get used to it pretty quickly.. Do any of you take your cats on car rides?? Here are some photos!:

Veegan, your Felicity is such a sweety!!! I also visited your web-site : it is spectacular!!!! But I didn't find a guestbook?

I have ONE request for you: please, do not use the smallest size for your letters; I cannot read those with my normal glasses(and I NEVER remember where I put my reading glasses )

have a peek at my web-site too, hehe

Tama doesn't mind going on car rides. He just sits in my lap. (makes vet trips really easy!) His previous owner used to take him on car rides as a little kitten so that's how he got used to it. I like taking him to the bank with me. But we don't go on too many car rides cause I have cloth seats and the fur sticks to it.

I love your pictures - they are REALLY nice!!!

But I agree with Lut, I have a 19in. monitor and I find it hard to read such tiny type as well - I imagine it would be even more difficult with smaller monitors. Would you mind using the default size font? Thanks very much.

Again, I love your pictures - we all love to see lots of pictures here!

Felicity is very beautiful!! And it looks like she got relaxed rather quickly.
My cats stay at home all the time. To the vet once a year (hopefully no more) and for a bath twice a year, but always inside a carrier.
Now you must be fair to Felix and post pictures of him as well.

She's a doll! =D

Oh, About the font size, I don't know if some of you know about this, but if you want to increase the size of the text, in your web browser go to View>Text Size> And change it to large or whatever you want

She's beautiful! Seems like she's enjoying the ride! My cats have never been to car rides with me, but I want to bring them one day. They've only been to the vet.

She's beautiful. I love her whiskers.

I need to get a car first! Toby went for a four hour drive to go home for a weekend! 4 hours home and 4 hours back and he was great the whole time, slept the whole way =D

Felicity looks so comfortable in the car. I wish my two were like that.

What a beauty! Looks like she rather enjoyed the ride!

She's beautiful! And it looks like she really enjoyed it.

Tubby doesn't mind going for rides either. He normally sits in my lap while the car is moving, but likes to jump up and get a peak out the window when we slow down or come to a stop. He used to be up and about the whole time, but I think he's got a touch of arthritis now and the movement of the car might be harder on his legs now. I used to live 1/2 hour away from my parents and I visited at least once a month and I would take Tubby with me, so that's how he got used to it.

I think Felicity will do just find as an errand companian. The more you take her the more she'll get used to it. Thanks for the great pics, she's really a very pretty cat. And I agree with the others that now it would only be fair to post pics of your other kitties.

Here's Tubby on his way to the vet a few months ago.

What great pictures. She's beautiful!

When we originally picked Nakita up, we had to drive 4 hours and she was fine in the car. When we go to the cottage this summer I'll be taking Nakita in the car, and that's another reason I wanted to leash train her.
