um, really?

ok, seeing a dog on a leash is typical. seeing a kid on a leash isn't quite unheard of, but it still makes you question either what kind of demon wild child has to be held back by a leash or what kinds of parenting skills their parents have. but seeing a CAT ON A LEASH!?

A CAT!!?!?
SERIOUSLY!?!

i kid you not. i was walking past the duck pond south of campus today and there were a few couples here and there (since, of course, a duck pond is such a hot spot for couples to go and have a romantic moment...i am proud to say that i have not had any romantic moments at the duck pond). one couple was feeding the ducks, another was just walking around, and another couple was walking their dog.

or so i thought.

the more i watched the little light brown dog, the more i realized how un-dog-like it seemed. it just kind of sat there, on a leash, in between some of these trees. and the fact that it kept staring up one of the trees really confused me. i mean, dogs don't look up trees. they pee on trees.

then the 'dog' decided that it wanted to try and climb the tree. that was when i realized that this was no dog. it was a freaking CAT. on a LEASH. this couple was taking their cat for a walk!

seriously people? SERIOUSLY? its a stinking cat. putting a cat on a leash is like eating sunscreen. you just don't do it!

I owned a cat on a leash. Yup. Maybe that's why she was so mean (people called her Satan...I called her Missy.)

I had her declawed which made it unsafe for her to be outside. With her claws gone, she had no protection from neighborhood dogs that liked to eat cats. So I put her on a leash. She never did grasp the concept of walking with it though. It was as easy as drinking sunscreen. I gave it up and kept her inside. :D
