Spring walk for the kitties **PIX**

[Freedom]

Bear seems to have the BEST idea! Stay inside nice and snuggly and warm (and dry!).

Poor Cami, caught on camera in mid meaow!

You must have spent almost an hour, getting cat, putting on collar and leash, camera and cat outside, snap snap, back inside and start over again!

Think you have a problem with Pooky; he LIKED it!

Thanks for taking the time and then sharing it with us.

Pooky loves going for walks! He doesn't 'steer' as nicely as Dusty used to but at least I can convince him to go a certain direction with a bit of cajolling. The rest I just have to pretty much follow because they don't 'steer' at all. lol

Yeah, I find that taking them out when it's a bit snowy, cold or wet that they learn to appreciate being in the house better, at least until it really is nice enough to take them out for longer than a few minutes at a time.

I think it took about 45 minutes to cycle through all the cats, although hubby was kind enough to do the pix for me while I was walking them.

I've learned that Bear just doesn't go outside, except on rare occasions in the KatzenHaus when the weather is really nice and it's quiet outside. He never asks to go out and doesn't go near the door either. If I put him on a leash and take him out for a walk, he just hunkers down with his tail tucked, looking down at the ground and won't move. If I take him to my mom's trailer at the campground (which the other cats like to be there) he just hides in the corner the whole weekend. If I try taking him to the pet store he just hunkers down in the shopping basket and doesn't look around. The poor dear is just a born housekitty and happy to stay that way. Heaven forbid if I should ever have to move, I don't think he'd even like a new house either. lol

What beautiful cats! I just LOVE your torties! I had a tortie for 20 years named Jade and finally had to put her down a year ago because she was in kidney failure. There is something about tortoise shell cats, they seem to live long lives. I wish someone would do a study, maybe they have a special gene. How old are yours?

These (along with their brother Josh) I acquired as "fosters" fall of '06. As you can see I failed Fostering 101. Those 3 are now 1 1/2 years old. My mom has a tortie named Torry who is 9 years old.



Thank you all for the sweet comments for the kitties. I passed on your oohhs and ahhhs with some cheek scratching for you guys.

Cute pictures and thread. Hopefully now you've convinced them to stay inside for a while.

Well that'll teach you won't it guys! Who wants to go outside when you can be all tucked up nice and warm in the nice snuggly indoors!
