Walking the kitties

Well that didn't go so well...

I came home and brought in the groceries. I was putting away the kitty food when I saw a black flash out of the corner of my eye. It was Audrey kitty! "fwappa - dee - fwappa - dee - fwappa - dee." What the heck? She had her hind leg stuck in a plastic bag and was dashing around trying to get it off.

I took it off for her and she dashed under the two-people couch.

Then I put on Arnold's leopard harness. He didn't like. But he did think the leashes were interesting. Audrey came out from under the couch and I put the black sparkly harness on her. She was a little perplexed but seemed to be ok. So then I connected the pink sparkly leash. BAM! She ran off like a crazy women - back under the two-people couch. The end of the pink sparkly leash was poking out so I gave it a little tug to see if I could pull her out.

Much to my surprise the leash and harness came out without Audrey! She'd figured out how to get out!

So then I connected the leopard leash to Arnold's harness and held on tight. I carried him outside and put him down on the front porch. He was very scared.

He investigated a little bit but I could see that his heart was pounding fast and he was breathing fast. He was very scared whenever cars drove down the parkway.

He also made that tiger stinky-face. I think he was trying to smell everything. A bird flew by and he wanted to chase it but I held him back. We went into the grass - he thought that was weird - and walked around the bushes a little bit.

Then he investigated the front porch some more. He got himself all tangled up in a spider web so I decided that it was time to go inside.

Audrey kitty was waiting for us inside the door. Arnold dashed under the chair in the foyer and just rested there, breathing, with his heart beating fast. Audrey sniffed him all over - I guess he smelled like outside. Then she groomed him a little.

They were a little jittery - every time the house creaked they jumped, so I visited with them for about 20 minutes and kept telling Arnold how brave he was and telling Audrey how she had such a bad day with scary things chasing after her.

Then they napped on the kitty tower. I know, I have to post pictures.

I looked at them both and said, "Are you hungry?" and pow! each kitty dashed down the stairs and skidded into the kitchen. The ate half a can each of the big Friskies kind - ocean whitefish.

Now they are chasing each other again.
