Walking the cat - again

1 comment October 7th, 2005

It's starting to become a habit now. When Deidre and I go for a walk, if we let Eve out at the same time, she'll follow us, join us on the walk.The second time it happened was 3 nights ago. She came with us for about 10 minutes, then I picked her up and carried her for 5 minutes along the busy road, and then put her down again on the quieter road where she followed us all the way home again.

It's so cute, and cool. Taking the cat for a walk. Hehehe

The cat comes walking

Deidre and I went for a walk / jog tonight, which is almost common for us. We've been going for walks now for a while, and only the other night we upgraded it to do a bit of jogging as well. Both of us are relatively unfit, so it'll be good for us.

Tonight, I suggested that we jog uphill and walk downhill, to help ease us into it. We started jogging and got to the top of the street we're on and slowed to a walk. It was then we discovered we had some company.

The cat in the bed

My cat, Eve, is just gorgeous. She loves to sleep on the end of the bed at night, and sometimes she likes to sleep with us IN the bed. I swear, sometimes she thinks she's human. So human, in fact, that when we're not looking, she snuggles up under the covers just like us.

I came into the bedroom this morning, quite a few hours after Deidre and I had gotten up, to find Eve had made herself comfortable. Just like we do. I HAD to take a photo. Isn't she cute?

My cat’s great!

I love my cat.  She's gorgeous.  

What I like is that over the past year she has learnt I'm boss.  Most cat owners say that their cat is the boss.  Not in my case.  For the first 6 months of our time together, she was the most frustrating and intolerable thing I've ever had in my life.  But we both survived the experience.

My patience has been rewarded.  The past 6 months has been where she's been the most malleable, and has not only accepted the conditioning I've persisted with during her first 6 months here, but accepted further conditioning over the past 6 months.  She's now a happy, healthy and contented cat who pretty much does what she's told, and doesn't demand anything.  Let me give you some examples….

Eve’s adventure

On Saturday I got around to getting Eve (my cat) vaccinated for the first time. I'd completely forgotten about it for a while, but then I thought about how it must be time to let her go outside, so I got her vaccinated first. On Sunday (yesterday) I let her outside.

Coming of age

A few weeks ago Eve (my cat) went into heat for the first time, at about 9 months old. She's growing up! But oh, what a racket!

Very strange noises, sounding like, 'rrrrrraaaaaarrrrrrrgggaaaaahhhhh!' You sort of get used to it after a while - except when you go to bed. It just doesn't stop! So she was locked into the lounge room, which gave us some relief. It lasted for almost a week and then stopped, and the vet told me that I'd have to wait a couple weeks after it stopped before I could get her de-sexed.

Cruelty to animals

I was reading a message board last week that caters to cat owners, reading what others experience and advise. There was an 18 year old girl in America talking about her cat that was sick, it needed an operation. She wasn't able to afford the operation costs, and she wasn't able to afford the $500 that the vet wanted to charge for keeping it overnight and making the diagnosis. The sickness wasn't life threatening, but the vet kept the cat until she could pay the $500. A week went by and the vet demanded the money, the girl wasn't able to pay, the vet killed the cat.
