Come With Me Kitty

We think our previous two cats, Charlie & Snowball, were caught by coyotes.  So we decided our new cats should be indoor only.

With the beautiful spring weather we started feeling guilty that they weren't even getting a taste of the outdoors, so when we saw the Come With Me Kitty harness in a pet store, we picked up two.

Jake has a blue harness & leash.  William loves exploring the hill above & below our house so he and bold Jake made a good team.

Julie has a pink leash.  She was a little more tentative, mostly sticking to the back yard grass & flowers.

When we were outside with them, it looked like both cats were having a great time, but looking at the pictures later they did look a little freaked out.

Nevertheless, Jake especially, explored with gusto.  He even climbed a tree.

The one fly in the ointment is that we took Jake out while Julie was sleeping.  After we got him acclimated, we woke Julie up and took her outside too.  In her head Jake was still inside, so when she saw him outside she thought he was a stranger and hissed at him.

She was suspicious of him the rest of the night, but they made up this morning.
