I’ve noticed that when I go outside, it’s nothing out of the ordinary to see people walking around with their dogs on a leash.
I wonder if any of those people also have cats. Is the cat just sitting at home alone? I don’t see any reason why the cat shouldn’t get to go for a walk, too.
Has anyone bothered to ask the cat if he or she might like to go out for a while? What is this “just a house cat” business? Sure, I can understand not letting the cat go out alone… but what’s the harm in just going for a damn walk?
I think a cat could have a very nice time outside with their own leash, smelling the fresh air & checking out the scenery…
They could make some new friends…
Or just enjoy an open space…
and they could still go climb a tree…
But it would be safer, because they couldn’t climb up quite so high…
So, it would be easier to get them out of the tree again…
Just a thought.
