Strange. Cute. True.
Monday night, on my way downtown to the McKibbins Pubquiz, I had to stop at the video store in Beaurepaire Village to drop off Kill Bill Volume 2. Good movie, I give it two thumbs up, but I digress.
As I was about to get out of the car, I noticed a woman walking her dog. Close behind, seemingly chasing after the lady and her dog was a cat. Yes, a cat. How odd, I thought to myself. The lady crossed the street with her dog, and lo and behold, the cat followed. The woman tied up her dog and went into a convenience store.
I glanced across the street and was surprised to see the cat sitting calmly next to the dog. Me, being me, I had to find out what was going on, so I crossed the street, went into the convenience store and asked the dog-walking-lady if that was her cat. She replied that it was and that she always takes the dog for a walk on his leash, and the cat accompanies them.
I wish I had had the camera with me.

How funny it is that the cat doesn’t need a leash!
I have a rabbit and a dog. At first, we thought the dog was trying to eat the rabbit, but he was just giving him licks. After a while, thr rabbit would actually come up to the dog to be licked! It was really cute.

It’s not really all that strange, though, to someone who’s seen the Chuck Jones cartoon Feed the Kitty.

Methinks your mission, should you choose to accept it? Is to stake out said location and provide us with pictorial evidence.
(or draw us a picture, I’ll be happy either way
)

I think risking a restraining order is totally worth sharing this cuteness with us.

I don’t find this behavior the slightest bit unusual. We have two cats who have always gone on walks. They started doing this long before we got our dog, and now, when we take the dog, the cats come with us. But we always did seem to get the weird cats. I could go into details about the strange quirks of some of our other cats, but it would take a long time to tell. LOL!
