Cats In The Park: Starsky & Hutch
I am beginning to feel that I have pioneered a a companion animal movement.
When biking in Central Park today I spotted not one, but two cats out on leashes. They were climbing around on a row of benches just outside Sheep Meadow facing Tavern On The Green. Their human was quietly looking on, with a Sherpa bag by his side.
Starsky & Hutch are the names of the two young cats. Starsky is the black cat in the background, and Hutch is the orange one in front.
Their human said he has been taking them out on a regular basis so that they become accustomed to the city. They seemed accustomed already. When I set my bike against the a bench beside them, they bounced over and began sniffing it at once. They only stopped sniffing when I offered them the chance to sniff me.
Anyway, I am glad that I have been documenting Cheryl and I taking Cimbi to the park. When it becomes commonplace to take a cat out, I will be able to lay claim to starting the trend.

Dude - That trend is SO yours. I've been seeing it more and more.
I cannot wait until Alexa is a little bigger and I can put her on a leash.
There was another kitty (leash free!) at the park with her owner on Sunday. Yet, the owner eventually had to grab her leash to keep her from diving for the birds.

Just remember, cats can go all nutty on you and wiggle out of the lead! Chris, I'm all for your adventures, but please tie it on tight enough! I don't want to have to post about any lost cat posters on your behalf.
On a side note, don't let your cat roam at the veterinarian's office. It was not funny when I had to help get a cat out from behind a filing cabinet!
