It was three years ago, before I got my second cat Peipei, that I would
take Cocoa out for walks. Nowadays with two of them at home, I have
stopped doing so.
On weekdays, Cocoa and I would walk around the neighborhood. On weekends,
we would took a drive to the riverbank, or to a park. Cocoa is a bold cat,
so it was relatively easy to take her places. I learned that stores do not
welcome pets when a store clerk noticed her inside a carrier on the cart
I was pushing. The only stores she could go were pet stores. She loved
watching all the birds in Petsmart.
Inside my car, Cocoa likes to be loose, sitting at different windows.
and sometimes on my lap. Peipei, on the other hand, is a wimp. He
chooses to be inside the carrier. Pet seats would not work 'cause cats
hate to be confined.
With car rides, you can start with sitting in the car with them and giving
them
some treats, gradually progress to a short ride, then a longer ride. Some
cats are more adaptable than others. Just be patient.
