Boyohboy does Brady want to go OUTSIDE.
He has joined the "pack" upstairs and no longer hangs out in the downstairs bedroom. Whereever we are, that is where he is-normally. He enjoys roughhousing with Daddy on the ottoman next to Daddy's feet. He has taken to "charging" Sophia, who has no idea how to react. Both of our dogs treat indoor cats with kid gloves.
About the only time he is not in the same room with us is when he is smack next to one of the doors, yowling his little feline heart out. I may change his name from "Brady" to "Placido". And he did get out once, but instead of returning on his own steam I had to go trap him.
So I broke down and got a little harness and thin leash. I usually go for a 1/2 mile hike with the dogs every morning and evening in the woods on our property, and Brady knows the routine. He has figured out that me getting out the dog collar is a sign that the front door is about to OPEN and perhaps if he positions himself strategically he might get his freedom.
Does anyone else give their cat a taste of abridged freedom like this?
