DownGoesFrazier Posted March 30, 2016 When I was a teen, I had a black cat. His name was Tom. OK, I'm going to ask another naïve question. Why do you very rarely see a cat on a leash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted March 30, 2016 OK, I'm going to ask another naïve question. Why do you very rarely see a cat on a leash? this has been my experience too (though I've heard they CAN be trained if you begin with a kitten) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dabb Posted March 30, 2016 OK, I'm going to ask another naïve question. Why do you very rarely see a cat on a leash? Because the marlin usually gets him first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkblue Posted March 31, 2016 OK, I'm going to ask another naïve question. Why do you very rarely see a cat on a leash? I tried that a couple of times. It's not worth the struggle of getting the harness on. They don't seem to understand the premise of being taken for a walk. Mostly, they'll just sit there, meowing.

GregoryPeckfan Posted March 31, 2016 I had a neighbour who used to have her cat on a leash. I don't know how or why he let her do it. Every cat I have had wanted to escape at all costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGayDivorcee Posted March 31, 2016 When I was a teen, I had a black cat. His name was Tom. I bet Tom was a nice boy. Black cats are special. They're sweet and can be goofy, at least the few I've had. One liked to play with my address book of all things, and ran to the table in anticipation when I made spaghetti, his favorite people food. It's sad that they're often last to be adopted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GregoryPeckfan Posted March 31, 2016 You know this reminds me of my childhood. As a cat lover, I tended to always side with Tom, but of course he is usually the bad guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted April 4, 2016 There are two cats who live in the bookstore that I pass every day before opening, and they are usually sitting just inside the door. I repeatedly try to get them to play with me, or even acknowledge me, without success. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
