Be sure to use this mighty power for good!

I remember for my 50th Mum wrote me a big note on the left side of my birthday card... She'd been okay with my weird for a while, but when she used the word "celebrate"with respect to it? You still coulda knocked me over with a feather. Thirty years I've been a happy little heathern, and she's known about it for 20 of those... two marriages, a divorce, several international love affairs...

I wonder how she's gonna take it when I drop the line I wanna be a preacher man on her? :D

*muses* If I didn't know better I'd say that was no ordinary kitty next to you...

Okay, wow, that's AWESOME. :) I've mostly given up on getting such from my mom, though part of me still lives in hope, specially after the way she's been acting the last month or so...

It is pretty possible (speaking of the cat) that you've met Loiosh's counterpart in a poem or two round here somewhere. ;) That said, that pic is from a friend's wedding, one to which we were _both_ invited, by name. There were already bridesdogs, so adding a single leashcat didn't even surprise anyone.

Some moms do learn!

That's a wild idea. I wonder if my Bombay quasi-therapy-kitty would tolerate a leash and harness. Probably not given that a collar lasts maybe a couple of days on her, but who knows.... she *has* taken to hiding in her cat carrier a lot. (This was deliberate; a couple days before I had to take her on a two-hour drive, I got the carrier, put a nice soft fleece in it, and let her explore..... now, when it's not being used as a carrier actively? Kitty Box!

I've run into far more leashcats who took to it as adults than I would have thought, nine years ago when I stuck lil six-week-old Loiosh into a ferret harness cos the chihuahua harnesses were too smal. (That lasted about a week...) It's always worth a try!

Tiny steps. Tiny, tiny steps. Show harness, give treat. Drape harness over cat, give treat. (Or brushing or pets or whatever's a reward for her.) If she's really into the idea, try speeding up some! If it's too much too fast, slow WAY down, go back to the last thing that was okay, stay there for a while.

If you do give it a try, & you want advice/help/audience/someone to vent to, I'm right over here!
