spraying

walking a 7 year old indoor /out door kitten on a- leash..5hrs leash time.

every sunday, i get to go outside!

but the last time i was outside, paul wanted to see how i would do on my own.. could i stay outside un supervised, no leash and not raise hell..>XD

he'd check on me every few hours.. but i had run off before night fall..

long story short, a pitbul dalmation mix jumped a fence and had me in it's jaws..A kind hearted neighbor saw to it that i was patched up and alright for the night.. it was raining its butt off..and paul was out there looking for me.. i called to him..but i was inside someone else's house -.- the next day they let me out and he was there waiting and it was all good XD

Now, he says i have to be on a leash...he has this harness thing...it annoys the heck out of me..i want to go where i want to go when i want to go .. not be tied to you ..and limited in range..and confined in ...w/e this thing is made of...i soppose i can get used to it tho -.-

well the first time out, was around the yard.. i got to say hi to blacky and silver.. and storm.. run up trees and pull paul with me muahaha..

second time out, it was really hot.. i didnt feel much like walking around alot.. but paul kept telling me to "walk!" "chill" ...."walk"! which is it man!!

ugh.. w/e i'm getting the hang of it.. and enjoying chaseing butterflies, and flopping around on concrete..marking my turf.. checking things out.. basking in sunshine in the middle of the street.."get out of the street!! get in the grass!!" paul starts yelling at me..

so reluctantly i do it.. i find a spot thats cool and chill there.. watch the kids finds eggs hidden in trees and stuff.. weird, but neat.. they wanted to say hi, but i was annoyed with the leash, and walking.. i'd swat at paul if he tried to pet me -.-

they go inside, and i'm all cooled off.. we stroll about 200ft and i'm tired again.. we go another 200 or so feet.. i'm getting my pace down with his.. and this pitbull terrior busts out of a house..and comes tearing across the yard straight for me.. paul grabs him..i'm so freaking scared i haven't even puffed up yet.. the dog is strong and breaks free.. i'm not ending up breakffast for dogs!! rawr!! and just as i leap i'm tugged out of reach of his nose.., and am now suspended in slow motion flailing and hissing, biteing anything i can do to not become food again =c

The dog seems confused, and startled this time..he's swinging his paws at me and tilting his head..barking weirdly.. but i'm not risking it..either you back down or i will attack you! hiss!! rawr!! Pounce! *yank* "schreech no! chill!!!,, chill!! he doesnt mean to hurt you..back down ..back down.." paul is calmly speaking to me.. I lay down and tense up ready to pounce if mr. pit here gets jumpy...

Lady who owns him, comes over apoligizeing.. endlessly apoligizeing.. hello? i'm on a leash... why isnt he!! Paul tells the lady "he did good, he didnt try to hurt me..or intend to do any harm,,but please..take him inside...now.."

Paul pulls me around the bend, and around a house.. and this fear creeps over me.. i'm confused, i'm panting and frantic..but i can't move..i want to keep walking but i'm litterally parylized with fear.. and i'm exhausted from the heat.. all this took place in the hot street, under direct sunlight..and i'm a black, fat, spoiled indoor cat.. =c

For a minute paul tugs on me.. drags me.. eventually he says "come on dude wtf..your ok, he never bit you or anything!! we've been in shade for 5 mins!! walk! you don't like being carried you foolish thing!" Now he gets concerned.. checks the harness.. makes sure it's not chokeing me.. checks my body for injuries.. checks joints for range of motion.. i'm fine.. i'm just scared out of my mind.. i'm in shock and i have no idea what this feeling is! Or why i can't seem to catch my breath....

"next time, remind me to bring water with us buddy.." as paul says that.. i begin to calm down a bit.. "walk." he says.. I want to..but i can't.. =c he picks me up..and i hug him tight..and kiss him.. o.0 oh now you want to work -.-

I had fun until the pitbul came after me..the heat will take some time getting used to on top of the leash...but i'm learning..we can do this. This sunday! today! i get to go out for a bit with a leash, and a bit with it off..
