A private route from the house straight into a larger outdoor enclosure is a pretty solid concept.
Window insert, tunnel, platform, ramp, then more space to explore. This stop at the top platform seems to be an important part of the experience.
Just that…my adventure cat Dizzy met a turtle for the first time today. I don’t think he was impressed.
I was so at a loss for words I didn’t really respond, to be honest.
Attached is a video of my youngest not wanting to go home last night. I was carrying him to cross the road back home, and he weaseled his way out of my arms and ran back to the park lmao
I’ve also had people comment that good owners don’t even take their dogs out when it’s rainy and windy. When he’s the one who wants to be out, rather than me LOL
Her first time outside on a leash. She did surprisingly well. She's a little over a year old, and was adopted from my local shelter as a stray. Such a smart, good girl!
Fuji is a 7mo adventure cat in training, we had a little trip to the sakura park this weekend 🐾 If anyone has tips for gear for a teenage cat, lmk!
Rewarded with chicken flavor churu upon return home. Honorable mentions her tuxedo brother Nyx who is a bit too chunky for tree climbing. 6 month old siblings!
Hi everyone ! I think he just really enjoys being outside and it's becoming harder to take him back in the backpack. He's hissing and growling, and last time he even tried to bite me, which he never does.
Any advice and/or feedback is welcome.
Goose will be turning 1 year old next weekend! We can't wait for warmer weather and more adventures with her!
Here are my two little potential adventure buddies! I've previously successfully harness trained my cat so I've got that part down, but with these two squishes I want to have them be comfortable going for a car ride, so would like to slowly acclimate them to this.
I purchased a sleepypod car seat, does anyone have one? I'm shocked at how small it is, like barely enough to fit my 6lb kitten, but it's rates for up to 15. How else do you safely bring them in the car that is comfy, safe, and without negative associations?
Hello all!
I’ve been lurking here for a bit and am a newish cat owner. My boy’s very curious and enjoys sitting near my back door to stare outside, on top of my couch to look out the window behind it and now found another new window he enjoys looking out of. I have a leash I want to start using but am unsure of how to introduce it to him. I’ve had him for a couple months now and he’s comfortable with me.
So as my title asks how did you guys start using the leashes? I have a dog so I’m familiar with harnesses and stuff but know cats are particular about their space and don’t want to encroach or force it.
She’s really into swatting at flies and intrigued when the gophers pop up. Best harness I’ve found is Supakit!
This is a time-lapse of our lunch-break. For Moritz it was his breakfast. The weather was still mediocre and it was cold & wet. I was lucky to have 2 of those catalytic hand warmers.
Moritz got food on a tree stump, did the post-meal cleaning routine and then explored the area much to the worry of my partner.
Overall this was a rather lazy day for Moritz. We carried him quite far, partly because the start of the hike was the same forest road we already explored on day #1. Luckily, the top of the mountain had some single-trail type of paths which Moritz prefers over the forest roads.
I also have uploaded a compilation of video sequences which shows Moritz hiking behavior on day 2. You can observe how much we let him sniff and how much we make him walk, how fast we interrupt his sniffing etc.
Let me know if you watched and which version. I am happy to answer any questions regarding any situation. If you fell asleep, sorry :-D
