Outside Adventures

I meant to post these yesterday but I was too busy..

Hex on his Harness

Hex Outside

We took Hex for a big walk :) He did quite like the grass and pouncing on dead leaves. However, he wasn’t too happy about the big huge dog that was brought down past our building. I lifted him up on to my shoulders and he put his muddy paws in my ears, hah!

    Aww, that’s almost gross. He puts his muddy paws IN your ears? :O Haha, this reminds me of my dad’s friend’s cat. This cat is just like a dog and even buries it’s… ‘presents’ in the ground and goes for walks around the block.

    He puts his muddy paws IN your ears? Well, not right IN, but I ended up with mud all up my ears and neck XD

    Wow, Hex looks more and more like my Bob.

    Aww, what a cute little bugger. Ringo would eat my face if I put a leash on him. Does Hex really behave?

    Does Hex really behave? He throws a fit when I try and put it on, but once we’re outside he’s much more interested in what’s going on than the harness.

    I can’t even begin to describe how much I would laugh if I saw someone walking a cat down the street. :p

    You wouldn’t be the first Maren. Some people find it oh so witty. I can’t possibly think why :P

    That’s so cute! Hex looks a little scared in that first picture. I have to take one of my cats out on a leash or else he runs away far and fast.

    Awww, he’s SO cute! He looks a LOT like my cat, except my cat doesn’t have the bit of white under her chin.

    Didn’t you promise better posts to us jem? Not a fan of you latest series, “Tales of a Cat Lady” Hmmm…..

    This is the first post on Hex in over a month, Grant. If you don’t like it.. well, it’s tough shit, isn’t it.

    Mud in my ears, err…no thanks. If I got a cat, I hope that he/she is as calm as Hex XP

    Oh dear, grant… You won’t want to read mine either then..heh..”Responsible Cat Owner, part 2″ doesn’t sound like your thing.. He’s a part of this family, same as my Guinea Pig at my mothers..we write about what we feel is important, and what matters to us…which is, to be frank, our animals..:) If truth is told,laddie…your contributions to and opinions of the site, the domain, us and our pets/pasttimes are about as much concern to us as..well..something highly unimportant and utterly forgettable..:) I mean that in the nicest possible way.

    I like the first picture of Hex. I have no idea why either. Just looks cute the way he’s posed.

  25. Belinda said:

    I’ve never seen a cat on a leash before, nevermind a little kitten! Absolutely adorable, especially in that second picture!

    Yeah in the first pose, Hex looks fierce :P. Aww, he’s got the prettiest eyes :).

  27. Julie said:

    Oh, I like the one where he’s in the grass. I certainly couldn’t take my cat outside by the current weather. She’d freeze right there.

    Aww! Hex is so cute. I used to have a cat that looked exactly like him :D.

    How does Hex like being on the leash?

  30. Vera said:
    On 22 Jan at 4:34 am

    There’s something very odd about walking cats with a leash… IMHO. Now I understand the practical reasons, but to me leashes are for dogs. Muddy paws in ears eek!

  31. Chantelle said:

    Hex has gotten bigger! My mom’s cat always strolls along when we walk the dogs. She’s not on a leash, though. She just follows naturally.

  32. Courtney said:

    I love Hex! My cats would sit in protest and refuse to move if I tried to take them for walks.

  33. Chantal said:
    On 22 Jan at 8:33 am

    Can Hex get even MORE adorable?

  34. Karl said:
    On 22 Jan at 8:39 am

    Oh, he does play up for the first 30 seconds while you try to fir the harness..:) After that, he totally ignores it.

  35. Catherine said:
    On 22 Jan at 8:43 am

    Aw… Hex is so adoreable. He has such a lovely face too. I admit, cat-on-a-leash thing does seem odd at first (especially since cats are allowed to run free here… hence why I first met in the new neighbours in the search for their cat) but if Hex enjoys it and it makes sense for your area, good on you. More pictures please! :P

    HOW CUTE!!!! My cat has the same tiny white patch on his chest :) Only he’s three times larger (he is REALLY fat, lol)

    You’ll be intrigued to know, I’m sure, that I had a dream about you! Do you have short, spiky hair and a manly jaw, or is that just my subconscious being creative? Anywho, you can read it at http://www.3till7.net/2008/01/22/a-restaurant-and-meeting-jem/ :)

    We had our cat on a leash and in a harness once.. After that she wouldn’t go out the back door for a month xD

    Heya, you’re the only person that I reckon will possibly know this, but do ya know when PR is going to update? I love to obsess over my PR…

    Red is a good color on him, Jem. Thank goodness you use a harness and not a collar. I don’t know why people seem to think cats will walk on a collar. They walk better with a harness. I think taking Hex for walks is a wonderful idea. Thank you for always keeping him on the leash though. Too many things happen when cats get off the leash, lol. Have you tried crumpled paper with Hex yet? As for Grant, he just needs to realize that this is your blog and you can put on it what you want. Personally, I love hearing about Hex.

    Aww, this reminds me of the times I used to take my cat out for a walk in my neighborhood… Everyone (even the dogs, I’m sure) thought I was absolutely batty. Hex is getting SO huge! Wow.

    Those pictures made me smile! Also, I’m at work (IE 7) and the lines are showing up sort of in the middle of the comments, thought you’d want to know.

  47. Jem said:

    ^ thanks Brigitte :) Other people have mentioned it but I’m too lazy to fix it at the moment! :S

    Hex gets cuter every time you post about him! How is he doing on the toilet? Just a little warning; cats are very good at getting out of those leads and escaping while outside. So be careful when you walk him like that; you might not want him to get out of it…

    Hex looks like such a darling in the second photo. (: Although I have to echo the others and mention that I haven’t seen a cat on a leash before.

    Aw, Jem, Hex is so cute. Must admit I haven’t seen a cat on a leash before either, but despite that – major ky00tnezz.

    Zomg! Your kitty truly is adorable on that leash! I really don’t know how Cody would do on one. He might just try to chew it apart, hehe! ;D
