Walking the cat – again
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
She's beside me on the bed while I'm writing this, purring away. She knows she's loved, and I'm really happy about how she's happy, healthy and warm.
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.
Eve, my cat, decided she wanted to come with us! There she was, 'jogging' after us up the hill! It was pretty funny, but we didn't expect her to continue for too long, so we kept on going, walking along the road. She kept up with us!
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.
It was quite funny. She knows that she's not allowed outside, so when I left the door open for her she was standing on the doorstep, just on the inside, not quite sure what to do. She was looking outside and looking at me and looking outside and looking at me. When I didn't do anything she jumped out and ran up the pathway. Hehehe. Then she stopped and looked back at me, obviously wondering what was wrong, wondering why I wasn't trying to grab her and put her back inside. But I went inside instead, and just left the door partly open.
