About two months ago we got ourselves a little puppy… and of course the cats have just hated the whole idea… but a couple of them are slowly coming around to it and now hold their ground when the pup gets overly excited upon seeing them. The oldest cat, Momcat…. has not taken to the idea at all and has pretty much refused to come inside the house at all so I’ve been feeding her out on the porch and spend as much time as I can out there with her so she doesn’t feel left out. I figured that once it gets cold she’ll want to come inside again and have not worried about it too much.

The cats like to come walking with me and have done so since they were small kittens – they get very excited when I put my hiking shoes on but now that I’m walking the dog they stopped doing it. The other day they started again… with Momcat in the lead… and it’s the funniest thing when I’m out walking the dog and the cats are following.

Momcat has even started following us when we are out walking on the road and it’s becoming a bit of a concern for me since she stays away from cars when she’s on her own but expects me to stop them when I’m there… so I’m now trying to be sneaky and feed her before going so she will not follow, but she does anyway. I’ve had to change my route so we stay away from the road…

This morning we got some more company – three visiting ducks and it was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time, one dog, two cats and three ducks all trailing along.

Of course the whole area has been gifted with the intent that all animals will get along and be safe and we even have a deer with two little one who shows no fear when she comes to visit
