Ticked Off Tux




Kitties!  

Salem here.

Rumor has it that Mommy has ordered a walking vest (size:Whale) and a lead for me.  Apparently *I* am going to start strolling.  Mommy has Strong Opinions about weight management and how my girth has gotten, well, honestly, a wee tad outta hand.   

I am practicing for the first time she puts the dratted contraption on me by flopping over and rolling my eyes.

However...I do think going Outside might be fun, though...so I'm reserving final judgement for later.  After all, there are lizards and birdies beyond the back door.
We shall see, kitties--we shall see.


Happy Tubsday!

  1. We look forward to the injuries to the Crazy Woman's arm muscles as she attempts to drag you outside.
    Aila apparently should suffer the same fate so Äiti is watching with great interest.

  5. I can't wait for this. I once put a life jacket on my cat Bart. He fell over. It was small dog sized - Bart was a very BIG cat. He weighed 22lbs. Not fat, BIG. But any time I put that jacket on him he just flopped. It was very funny

  6. I love going for walks! It is a lot of fun! Secret tip: if she won't move at first, offer her her favorite treat - but make her walk to get it. I know that sort of goes against the purpose of the walking in the first place, but you just give little bits and only at first.

  11. Flopping is an appropriate response to walking vests or harnesses of any kind! That and saying belly to the ground. Just don't let her take you for a drag!

  12. Good luck! Scout likes his harness, but he's with it since he was a wee kit. And your cousin Shadow likes hers.

  20. Oh wow, I can't wait to hear this tale! I would love to take the Manx, Bob, out for a walk, he's definitely smart enough to know what to do, but we don't want him to think being outside is an option. Once they come in at our house, they stay in. I am anxious to see Salem walk in her vest! I bet she is lovely!

  23. Salem, I wish I could go outside and stroll. Maybe I should gain a few extra pounds, huh? ~Wally

  24. Well, WE would rather get our exercise chasing wand toys and tossed mousies. But we get ta go outside without leashes. So getting outside on leash would be better than not going out otherwise. But iffen ya dont like the leash, flopping over is a really good defense!

  25. SaLem, we are reading backwards. Looks as if you took to your harness quite well. Did you see any lizards on that first stroll? XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
