I usually take honey out onto the front driveway or into the garden on her harness but since she has taken it open herself to occasionally 'allow her self out', she is starting to venture further on our walks.
So yesterday, as I needed to pop something over to a neighbor's, 4 houses down, I thought I'd see if honey would walk that 'far' with me. She protested for a few mins then saw grass and forgot all about it
The house we visited has a 17 week old kitten, honey showed interested in her. No spitting or heckles from honey, she was generally being nosy. Said kitten wasn't too impressed, she spat and exploded into a cute bull of fur
but after about 10 mins, she settled down and sat in the hall way, intrigued by this funny leopard looking thing on a lead....smells like a cat, looks like a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Then out of no where, this massive tom (have to say that some old biddy feeds the local cats, they all look over weight now) shows up, takes an interest in honey. I'm thinking the worst, as she keeps scrapping with another tom but nope, she was fine, they both had a sniff, a bit of a brush up together and then the tom took a seat and started cleaning himself. Honey was relaxed enough to lay down by my feet.
Then 2 more cats show up, starting to think this is some kind of mother's meeting
they all sniff honey and then they all relax again.
The tom she keeps fighting with, strolled up, saw her and then ran off.....yup, totally manly of you dude!
This is the first time that I've witnessed cats that aren't living together, being around eachother and being that relaxed.
So I'm going to take her out again tonight, she seems calmer at night when it's quieter for her walks.
