Does Your Cat Go on Walks With You?

I have written a few entries in the past few weeks regarding my odd and auspicious, yet oh so cute and lovable kitten named Migs. We found our cat outside of our home one night, roughly a year ago, he was homeless and hungry, and very thin. The neighborhood kids next door had named him Migs because he would streak across the front yards at lightning speed, like a Russian Mig fighter jet, and the name just sort of stuck. Migs has been the most interesting animal that I have ever had the pleasure of keeping company with. He has the most unique personality that I have ever seen in a cat, and I am just thankful that he found our front door that night and that we opened it and welcomed him into our life. And here is yet another interested tale of our experiences with our lovable and boisterous kitten named Migs. It Took us a While to Realize he Was Following Us We have two large dogs, a wolf hybrid named Wolfgang Amadeus (after Mozart of course) and a Lab/Rotty mix, named Sampson. We take the boys on a few mile walk every evening before they get their dinner; wet food and a treat. And yes, my dogs are spoiled rotten, but what is the point of having dogs if you don’t give them the world right? Our newer house in Chandler, AZ, has a kitty door for our cat; he was always an outside cat, so we wanted him to have options when we moved. But we didn’t think that he would start following us on walks. But naturally, Migs wanted to feel like an active member of our pride, and before we knew it he began following us on our evening walks with our dogs. Now our Cat Walks with us Regularly First it started with us noticing him streaking by and hiding under cars, or in bushes. Then our dogs began to whine and look for him. Finally, we caught him following us on several occasions, always staying in the shadows and ducking out of sight, like a little kitten spy. Then it would become routine. Every time that we took the boys on their walk, the shadow of Migs and the jingle of his collar and name tag could be heard in the distance. It was not long before he was accompanying us on each and every walk—feeling like a true member of the family. It has Become a Game of Sorts It has become a game for him now. He hides and ducks and darts. And then he tries to make it home before we do. He creeps in through his door and then waits by the front door with questioning eyes that scream: “I was here the whole time, nice to see you again mom and dad!” What Outlandish Things Does your Cat Do? I am curious to learn what weird things that your cat may do? I have never heard of kittens following people on walks. Please comment back with your weird cat stories, I am anxious to read them all, and to learn more about your experiences.
