I've always loved the thought of training a cat on a leash to go on walks with me. If I ever got a kitten again I'm going to do that. Especially because I don't think I could have another outdoor cat again.... it's too stressful for me - I'm probably being selfish because cats are such roamers and explorers, but training one to ride in the car and walk on a leash I feel is a good compromise. I don't have to worry every time they don't come home, and they get to wander outside.Fab shots! I’m impressed that you trained Nim to tolerate a leash...that’s great!

I always did too, until my Miss. She came to me as an outdoor cat, and any time I tried to lock her inside she’d freak out - even during Hurricane Sandy! For awhile she was okay... she could hear the sounds and maybe felt my OH HELL NO you’re not going out there, but by 3:00am I had to let her out.Mine have always been indoor cats. And if they even think of sneaking out they get reprimanded until they don’t want to go near the door! Cats are much healthier being inside only.

But, I must say she was slimmer and leaner than my house cats, who were a tad bit on the plump side but that’s because they never really got any exercise. She was always out and about. And even though I was sad when she’d kill birds, I was happy she was getting live meat now and then. So much better than canned food (I went through a period with my house cats where I made their food using raw ingredients... that’s another story. )
It was kind of gross dealing with raw meat, but worth it. And my finicky bunch.... they loved it for quite awhile.... until they didn’t.I did that too!
When I went on vacation (to WA...where else!) one year I picked up a bag of dry food so my neighbor didn’t have to deal with the raw food. When I returned home it was just easier to keep using the dry!
