Title: Indy Has Been Outside!!!
Post by: Indys Mamma on April 06, 2009, 17:07:30 PM

Since today has been my favourite type of weather - lightly overcast but warm (I burn easier than the average vampire) I decided today was the day to take Indy out on his harness for the first time.

I have spent the last few weeks getting him fully used to it again in the house and stuff and making sure it is fitted correctly. Also been letting him in the back porch to smell Mabels scent etc.

~please ignore terrible state of garden due to the cat proofing process and the 'clearing out brothers *projects* process'~

Sniffing the air and it is *gooood*

Sniffing the Grass.. and it is *gooood*

He was cautious but interested and not scared... *incredibly* well behaved on his lead. Sadly I didn't get a picture of it but he played with Max for a bit... who was terribly confused by the idea of a cat in *his* garden that he wasn't allowed to chase... and he kept trying to herd Indy back indoors!  :Luv2:

Here is Max looking happy and relaxed

So I can see that they are going to have great fun when Indy is allowed off his lead! Max was so happy to have a friend outside to play with again, he hasn't enjoyed the garden since losing Poppy... Indy outside brought a spring back to his step.

Can anyone recommend a good suncream for Indy? he is gonna need it when it gets sunny

am hoping Charlie won't mind Indy being in the RAF... am trying to get Misha the Army one...  :rofl:

I love the Rogz dog harnesses, so much more secure than the normal kitty ones and the triangle neck shape puts the pressure on the shoulders not on the neck :)

Ahhh bless Indy looks like he was having a fab time and great that Max kept trying to herd him indoors  :rofl:

Re: the sunscreen ... not had to use it on any of mine but there are ones specifically for animals : http://www.canineconcepts.co.uk/item--Pet-Sunscreen--sunscreen---cats

or you can use a product designed for babies that have a high SPF. 

I'm sure other will be able to recommend something for you.

Bless him, what a big brave boy  :wow: As for the sunscreen, I use a kids one on the white of Riley's nose, he doesn't like having it put on but tough  :evillaugh:
