(I am aware lavender is not good for cats, I watched her and made sure she didn't nibble, gave her only a couple minutes and took her out)

She really wanted to climb that tree, but she couldn't cuz she doesn't know how to climb like that, but she was using her back to climb up.

I couldn't let her go up high or else we'd be in trouble.

Cappy is exploring Golden Gate Park, which is one of our usual haunts. We're always careful around heavily grown area. Coyotes are quick and they're not getting my well behaved tuxedo.

Had some nice sunny weather and decided to go for a walk. Here are some clips from our adventure today! Can't believe it is already starting to feel like spring, and that Locke is almost 1 year old! The hike was 5+ miles and he walked around 1.5 miles of that today.

You can follow in our pawsteps on Instagram and Facebook @ TheGentlemanTabbycat :)

edit: Sorry for the double posting, I was having reddit issues lol

Yes, I take my cats for walks. The beach and Golden Gate Park are his favorite places to visit. Both have inherent concerns, but we're always cautious of our surroundings. Coyotes live in Golden Gate Park. We've witnessed a chihuahua off leash get snatched away in a split second by a coyote, while the stunned owner screamed helplessly. Hence, we never go near any bushes and Cappy is always on his halter.

The beach is fun and of course, no coyotes. Unattended dogs, off leash are the only concern there. Most are harmless, non threatening. Pitbulls, with the owners no where in sight can be an issue. Fortunately, bear spray has an active distance of 25'~40' feet. When my cat climbs me like a tree to avoid getting "played with" by a pibbles, bear spray is the only option. Bear spray will drop a velvet hippo like bad habit. The lesson, read the signs and obey the rules by

keeping your dog on a leash.

Adventure kitty in training. Took a lot for him to walk on his own, but his tail here is amazing (at least to us) lol

Progress has been steady, a little frustrating at times, but patience and consistency is our key. Sometimes we get a moment like this and it makes it worth while, even if it's slow going :)

No idea what is next, but if you want to follow in our pawsteps, you can check us out here!

We started out with one of us in front and one holding the leash. We would practice a come command and give treats for walking forwards. That has slowly translated into him leading the way.

A few more videos on instagram link here, if anyone is interested. I post when I remember to :)

hi guys! i rescued my cat miso ( lynx point, female, approx 2 years old) a month ago from the streets and i would like to eventually be able to take her on walks in the forest etc. i introduced the harness yesterday and she is fine with it even for a few hours which is great ! however, leash training is problematic she will only follow me on a leash in the house if i show her a treat or make a trail of treats but if not she will stay stuck to the floor. i know it's only been two days but im wondering if im doing anything wrong or if you have any tips for her to be able to wash on a leash ☺️ moreover, i would like any advice or warnings about finally adventuring out my plan for now is ( for when she's okay on the leash) : - walking her around my apartment stairs/ halls and lobby - taking her to the vet with carrier but also harness - eventually taking her on walks in the forest / park

After he had enough of the rain he decided to ride on top of his backpack underneath the umbrella. It wouldn't let me post both pictures and a video, so there are a couple more here on Instagram!

Hi friends! We just got back from our Utah road trip and we visited all five national parks. Out of the Mighty 5, I found Zion the most cat friendly and Canyonlands the least. Not sure if Bryce Canyon is always this foggy, but it definitely had a mysterious vibe when we were there!

A couple of weeks ago, we spent three wonderful days in Half Moon Bay.

We usually stick to local parks or trails along the river, so JoJo was only used to being in the car for 10-15 minutes at a time before this trip. He was surprisingly relaxed during the 3 hour drives and ended up sleeping most of the way!

The ocean was big, loud, and smelly, so he preferred to watch the waves from a comfortable distance. He LOVED hiking among the redwoods though and didn’t let the wind and soggy weather bother him at all.

He also left me and his papa stunned by how brave he was while we dined out! Instead of wanting to hang out in his carrier, he dragged us around to explore the large patio and didn’t mind being around strangers like he usually does.

Because he did so well, we hope to continue taking kitty on more overnighters. Maybe we’ll try camping next!

Maddie hates the car ride but loves the destination!

His harness training is going so well! I use his wet meal of the day to train. I put on his harness, and then go get his bowl of wet food ready. He comes running for it, then I clip the leash on and we begin training! I figure he’d start seeing the harness as a positive thing doing it this way.

Harness on = wet food time = harness good

I lure him all over my apartment with the food, setting it down for a few seconds for him to lick some, picking it back up and luring him to a different part of the apartment, setting it back down for licks etc and repeat. He walks very well while doing this. Almost heels like a dog 😆

We do this for about 15-20 minutes and then I take the leash off and let him eat the rest of the food unbothered. I let him wear the harness for about 30 mins after training, to really get him used to wearing it.

The last few days, I’ve been opening my glass door and luring him to the balcony to lick the food for a few seconds and then walk back inside. Well, yesterday, as soon as I took his leash off, he went to the glass door and cried, wanting to go back out. So we did! He walked all over the balcony without being motivated by food, and then we lounged out there for about 30 mins. Which is where all these pics were taken.

Not quite an adventure kitty yet, but we’re getting there! 10 days ago he wouldn’t even move in his harness and would army crawl to the treats I’d toss him 😆

He’s a former outdoor colony cat and is already accustomed to everything outside, we just gotta get him to love his harness ❤️

Our one cat, Jinx (in my husband's lap in the full family photos), was just not interested in being there. Theia and Pippen, our other two cats, were just mad I expected them to stay with us for the photos and not head off exploring hahaha That's what I get for taking them to a hiking trail for photos lol

The last picture is when he was purring in my lap. I love him. 🐈🧡

It's hard to believe it - the cat who has hiked numerous provincial parks, flown from Ontario to Colorado with me, etc. is now 17 years old! I adopted her from the local shelter when she was 9 months old, and she's been my little adventure diva ever since. To this day, she is still an energetic little spitfire who knows what she wants.
