We didn't take him out too much .... because it was winter and cold.... but Martin quickly showed us that he didn't care about wearing a harness when he was outside exploring the Great Unknown! We never make it very far into the Great Unknown; Martin's winter record was three doors away from ours. Haha. He moves very slowly when he stops to smell every bush and perk up at every noise around him.
(Lara loves those pictures because John is so tall and Martin is such a tiny cat. She thinks it's hysterical.)
Anyway! Now that it is getting a bit warmer, I took him out again. We very quickly beat our old record, making it FIVE doors down the road! Whoa! But then Martin got distracted again.... this time by a tree. And I guess that a kitty will eventually do what all kitties love to do when they see a tree. (Sigh)
Yes, I was terrified that the little goober would lose his balance, fall out of the tree, and choke himself on the leash. I kept a very careful eye on him and how his harness was trying to wrap around the tree. But I couldn't help but marvel at his determination and sense of adventure. The owner of the tree who's yard we were in, of course, came home while we were exploring. Thankfully, he was okay about us trespassing (not like some cranky pants would be) and just said, "I've never seen a cat on a leash before." We shared a laugh as he went into his house. I had to call it a day when Martin wanted to explore where our neighbor was going. Silly boy, we are trespassers, not cat burglars! Haha!
"OOH! What's over there?"
