Second time I’ve seen this couple walking their off-leash cat.

That is impressive. And super cute.
I’m curious to see how things go for them when they come across other, potentially off-leash, pets on walks.

They really are not taking the cat for a walk as much as the cat is allowing them the opportunity to follow it around.

The cat is stalking its prey, and intends to kill them both in their sleep.

Im so against this. One of those pics has the car on the opposite side of the street. Just one car driving too fast and that cat is dead. Crossing the street safely shouldn’t be your pets’ responsibility.
Its my soapbox, I know.

I was going to say that the cat has simply agreed to follow them around until it no longer pleases him.

They are not following protocol. 1. Make yourself look as large as possible 2. Never turn your back or run 3. Yell and make threatening noises 4. Throw rocks

I t’s okay, i t’s a r ea lly quiet calm neighborhood . They could hear a lone car coming from 1/2 a block away and have time to step out and get it. Visibility from where they wer e all ows them to see one block in all three directions. You kinda had to be there.

We have a neighbor with what looks like a Maine Coon than follows them and their dog, seems to stay pretty close and stops off to look at things. They stay in our condo community though from what I can tell.

They probably just have some fish in their pocket and the kitty wants some.

Fair enough. I’m well aware that it’s my...
Pet peeve.

Friend of mine has a cat that’ll fetch paper balls. It’s abnormally
large and I’ve
wondered if that’s a type of personality
or trait
associated
with large size.

Meanwhile, my dog struggles to find me when I hide from her in my 1,000 sq/ft house. Last time I was in our quarter-basement, I called her, and she spent 5 minutes trying to get into the fireplace.

Good point;
might be true.

Yeah that crossing the street sequence I was just waiting in terror for the frame where a car comes speeding through.

They say dogs have good noses, but mine couldn’t identify a fart in a chapel.

A cat and I walked past each other on the sidewalk when I went to vote. I thought it was weird because there was nice grass for it to travel on but it kept to the sidewalk.

Mine used to do that back when I’d just adopted him. I took him off the streets in Apr 2018, and a t that time I was assigned to an armored battalion in a very, very small town close to the border with Uruguay. H e just walked into my place and plopped himself on my living room, so I guess you could he say he got himself adopted. Anyways, I lived in a second story apartm en t back then, and he could climb in and out through the balcony, so sometimes I’d go out and he’d follow me all the way around town and then back home . Sometimes I’d walk him in a leash, but he wasn’t a big fan of it. Very rarely he’d go out by himself, but never too far or for longer than a few hours. My wife got him a collar with his name and my contact info etched in the tag, and everyone in the neighborhood knew him as the Doc’s cat lol. After I moved back to the big city, and then into a 9th floor apartment, there was no way to let him or my other cats out anymore, so now I raise him 100% indoors.
It’s funny though, my cat’s also a ginger, and I’ve moved twice since adopting him, and he always seems to take instantaneously to a new home.or space, it’s me and my wife he’s attached to really.

If kinja would still allow us to share replies to the front page, I would. :-)x

Last month I had a chunk of spam for compost. I took it with me on my way out. When I got to the bins I startled a stray but not too bad as he only stepped back 10 ft. He ate it up. I’ve crossed paths with him a couple of times in the daylight since. I like to think he recognized me and his loud meows were ‘ thank- yous’.

You can always do what I’ve done.

Is SPAM compostable? I’d think all that salt would kill your pile.

I don’t know why, but I liked it being anonymous. It could have been me, could have been BlazinAce, could have been any cat lover. ¯\_()_/¯

I grew up in a house and we always had cats a nd we never had them locked inside (neither did the neighbors) , they always made their own lives (some living more outside than others) .
O ne of my cats was sometimes following me at school (5min walk) or when we were w al king around, sometimes at 10 or 15 minutes from the house .
Most of the cats in the world are not pets and k nows (sometimes from bad experience) that cars are not something you should take your chance with.
