Purrseidon sulked after being kept inside for days, even missed the post-Thanksgiving dinner trip to the beach, since the waves were choppy and we knew she’d want to jump in… Aside from some evil looks, after she sniffed the scent of ocean on us, she has been good – hasn’t even climbed the christmas tree. SO, we rewarded her and Saphera with a walk on the pier.
It was busier than we’ve seen i, before and some joggers got behind Ms. Purr, who has never experienced the feeling of being chased, before. Her kitty legs went flying and she kept looking back like oh man. Then Saphera found a dead bird which they both needed to sniff. Finally, they played on rocks. I had to keep hands on her leash because she tried to jump in 3 times and the waves where awful.
Walk carefully!

Tell me about it …. I’m not sure cats are actually allowed there, though the sign only prohibits dogs.

If it only says dogs… How could you know. Easily arguable. And soon they will have a no animals at all sign. 😉

Exactly – that sign is very prejudicial against dogs — probably not a lot of water-loving cats around. 😉

They haven’t met your friend and my little Nubia. Plus probably many other cats out there lol

My sister has 3 Siberians and has to lock her bathroom door if she wants to take a shower alone, but until Purrseidon, I thought it was a fluke of that breed.

Apparently some breeds have higher tendency for it but that doesn’t mean others will always hate it as we know from our two. :D. Bengals love water especially btw!

Marcha has 2 bengals, but never mentioned that Hamlet and Ophelia share Purrseidon’s passion for water, though she does live by a lake… I shall inquire if they swim… I’d assumed they stayed indoors and did not associate with the feral cats that she also cares for.

That would be interesting to know. A friend of mine breeds bengals and most of them swim together with his Labrador LOL.

I would love to see cats swimming with a lab! I asked Marcha – she related a story about Ophelia having an accident, which involved a quart of latex paint (+ new carpet and curtains) which ended in her catching Ms. Ophelia, as she tried to hide under the dinning room table … she popped her into the sink for a good scrubbing and Ophelia didn’t protest. Marcha assumed she was glad to have help getting the paint off. I shall tell her about your friend’s cats. Who knows, maybe Ophelia will get a chance at that lake.

If she does tell her to take photos :D. My friend always says he has his hands full with two cats and a dog so no time for photos 😦

I shall pass on your request. She did say that she is considering a kiddy pool, like Purrseidon’s, but probably not until next spring.

She doesn’t get to go to the beach a lot, right now. Work schedules + daylight savings time have made our last few forays at night. Exactly what were you thinking about?

She would have been happier if we’d taken her boogie boarding, but that
would have been dangerous – don’t think she understands danger.
