Took the little guy off leash for the first time. It was very scary when he would get the zoomies but he always looked back to make sure I was following. Should I be more paranoid that he will run away? So far he stays really close by my feet most of the time.

Our girl loves going for a walk, but with the winter approaching I am worried she is too cold outside and would like to get her a winter coat and shoes for when it snows. Does anyone have any recommendations for a winter coat and shoes especially for cats that are sold in EU? I have found some in the USA market, but shipping is exorbitant, so I would appreciate something that's within the EU. Thanks!

Wasn’t a fan of the scuba diver

Hey all adventure cat companions! What do you use for your cats when hiking? I have been using a small rucksack on my front, padded in the bottom with stuff to keep the inhabitant high enough to peek out the top, but I see many having their cats on top of a regular rucksack?

Sewing softshell by hand was definitely A Choice, but I never learned to machine sew. I modified the pattern from a rather chunky coat I bought from Etsy that was more designed for dogs. It's quite lightweight, but covers a lot of her, and she's just returned from her inaugural walk in it only slightly damp around the head and tail. I kept adapting it yesterday, I must have sewn that blasted velcro so many times, and I'm really pleased with how the fit turned out.

I've got brightly coloured fleece on the way, and I'm thinking of buying waterproofing spray to make her some warmer coats for the winter that will also keep her dry. Ninj is seventeen now, so we want to keep our old lady cosy. Perhaps I should add another inch in length?

Lui è Tøffy (Tøffel)! Norvegese di 90g. È con me da poco più di una settimana, dal primo giorno ho notato la sua passione per il suono dell'acqua, così ho provveduto da subito a lasciargli a disposizione una vaschetta con 1cm di acqua e dei giochini. Ho passato ogni giorno qualche minuto ad invogliarlo a bagnarsi le zampe e questo è il risultato dopo una settimana 🤣 mi fa morire perché sembra allo stesso modo amare l'acqua, quanto odiare avere le zampette bagnate 🤣

Just received the 6th call about Sasha. My cat is visiting strangers a few blocks away. We live on a quiet street down from a popular restaurant. Sasha’s appointed duty is to greet guests. Everyone knows him and has a story. Currently he’s on a walk about in the neighborhood a few blocks over. He shows up on the porch or yard of residents looking lost. He gets treats and pets from these individuals. They call me to let me know he’s safe. I tell them he’s fine and not to let him into their home. He’s notorious for making himself at home on your bed. I’m not quite sure of his motivation but he always comes home. Would you let this gray scammer into your house?

had to repost because her tag had my address in it lol

Our little Comrade is loving fall and squirrels sighting 🍂🐿️. I appreciate everyone’s input last month when doubting about this whole stroller thing. Since then, we go on busy streets, pet supply stores and stores allowing pets and he truly enjoys nearby parks and pets from folks.

Canadian here… it’s getting cold out there and my kitties who normally love their outside time are needing some winter wear!

Anyone have recommendations for jackets and or harnesses that work with the jackets? Right now we’re using the very simple two loops style of harness. Works well but curious what others have found.

Does anyone have harness recommendations that are not step-in harnesses? I used to have one for my cat that was mesh underneath, had a loop to slide over her head, and then another strap that buckled behind her legs. I dunno if that makes sense, I could try to draw it if that would help. 😅

She outgrew it so I got her a pretty cheap harness to fill in for now. But having to position her feet to get her in, just seems to be more stressful for everyone involved. 😅 I also tried one that buckles underneath, but she didn't like the sudden weight on her back, and having me reach underneath her for the buckles added to her stress. 🫤

10 month old siblings on a walk!! sneezing and enjoying the foliage.

Testing out the new car seat before our 6 hour drive on Thursday! Looked astonished at the sunroof. (Also his one ear is always like that so that's why they're lopsided lol)

Munched on some grass as a reward after. Only meowed at me when I started singing 😭.
