The baby kitty is a happy cuddler.

NOW if only you could find a woman like that kitty...........

Tiny Dog and Diva Kitty both came and comforted me when I came home with my sore tooth from the endodontist. All I have done is lie around and _hurt_. They have both been very sweet, and not demanding at all. I know they can tell when I don't feel well.

Killer will eat all of Bella's food unless Bella's food is up on a footstool that he can't reach.
This morning I watched Bella eating from her footstool but pausing every few seconds to drop 2 or 3 kibbles on the floor that Killer would immediately scoop up. This action repeated at least 8 or 9 times.

BELLA WAS TOTALLY FEEDING HIM.

*mind blown*

I made the mistake of letting my beasties out onto the patio one day while it was raining. It was all good till the rain started to let up and they ventured onto the grass! No biggie .... except... now the lil buggers want OUT all the time!

lol

They have a catio but clearly that no longer satisfies! I've never walked or leashed or harnessed a cat ... anyone with such experience? I'm primarily concerned about what type of harness or ... whatever it's called... it use. I don't want them to escape! Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!

Sorry, can't help. My girlfriend tried a harness for the cat, but wasn't appreciated by cat. Now trying to keep ours (same cat) from "jumping" the fence.

I laughed at "catio".

Oh yeah... I laughed at catio when I first heard it ... but it's a serious deal now! lol

Now if having a catio isn't going too far for an animal... there are companies that have just what you need to keep your cat from hoppin' the fence. Peep this...

I tried walking a cat once. I had a harness with a lead for her. I let her walk around in it for awhile, and then started trying to walk with her. I went very, very slowly. I would take a step, wait for her to catch up, and then take another step. I thought, "This is going pretty well!" and I looked around at her. The cat had just laid down on her side, and was letting me drag her along! I never tried it again after that. Good luck!

The puppy, who has now fully learned his baby bark, wouldn't stop barking at his own reflection in everything shiny - from the fridge, to the stove, to the fireplace, etc.

Make sure the harness distributes the force equally around the shoulders and belly. Don't even attempt it with a simple collar.

There will likely be some pulling as they adjust to it but it's entirely possible. People have to train dogs to walk on a leash. Cats are no different. It won't be natural to them but consistent and patient training can work wonders.

This is a pretty good tutorial on it.

That's super! Thank you!
