Walking on a leash. When in Colorado, he wanted to go out in a snowstorm, so to keep him from getting locked in someone's Garage, I Leash-trained him. He'd go Crazy, if he saw the leash.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
D.C. was one of Malone's kittens from her second litter. He was the only Black one, so I had to keep him. His sister, Molly, was also kept by Momma. One time, he got lost in Havasu, Az. & he was wearing an I.D. tag on his collar. After six weeks, someone found him & the Humane Society called me to come get him. He never let me out of his sight after that. "Me & My Shadow".

Bio:
D.C. learned to walk on a leash when we lived in Denver, in the Winter. He wanted to go outside, but I was afraid he'd get locked in someone's garage, so I created a Harness out of a "Snap-in" type of collar, for his girth, with a short piece of thin collar fabric with a clip, to hook onto his existing collar.(Better than a figure-8, can't slip out! Easier than Buckles, too!) He loved going for walkies, something we continued, until he was too weak to do it. He would see the Harness, and begin Meowing frantically 'cause he loved it so much! He loved to take "Dirt-Baths", by rolling in the sand. At age 13, he started having seizures, which frightened me. I would hold him until it was "over". They became more frequent, during the last year of his life. When he passed away, at age 16-1/2, I had him cremated, & he is now in a pretty Box up on the Mantle, with his Sister, Molly.

The "Space Ship"

Last night, at the Hammock Talk meeting at the "Over the Rainbow" Group, we were talking about Kitty "playgrounds", and Momma put up a picture of our "Space Station" Cat tree, that she has, for the Earth Kitties, on my page.
It is made of molded Plastic, and you can "replace" the soft surfaces, with any type of fabric you want. Momma took the carpet off, and put sheepskin on it, and it is very comfy & soft.
Also, it has a vertical section, and you can replace the sisal rope surface there, for scratching. Its really a "Fun" place to play. I spent many comfy years, lounging on it. Its like a "spiral staircase"!
Momma got it about 14 years ago, at PetCo, for (then) $89 but it has been worth every cent. It is actually the "top" half, of a taller tree, we never saw what the "bottom" half looked like!
Lets see some of the play-places the rest of you have!
Purrs,
DC & Family


Today!

Hello, Friends!!
Today, Momma has her sister's car, and we got to go shopping...
Meanwhile, Malone, Dinky, Molly and I were flitting in & out of Manya's Pawty/BBQ, which not too many Purrs attended, but it was fun, anyway!
You see, we have all been 'absent' for almost 3 months, because Momma's pawputer died, and she just got another, better one!!!
And then, we kept 'missing' my Sweet Chica! First I showed up, then I had to be 'silent', and Chica showed up!! It was quite funny! Poor Chica was getting so upset, but then we finally 'hooked~up', and we went to her place, for tea and dessert! And some extra~fun cuddling!

I have really missed not being able to see my Chica, and I now have to make up for 'lost time'!
So now everything will be "Hunky~Dory"!!

I'm so much in Love!!!
