Tigger Three Wheeling
Penny, our 8 month old pup, loves to go outside. Loves the Outdoors. No wonders there.
Tigger, our not-so-street-smart cat gets jealous when Penny goes outside. We tried those cat leashes, but Tigger turns into a paralyzed puss when the leash is on him; he hunkers down to the ground and doesn't budge. The only option we had was to hold him and hope our cloths would make it unclawed.
Tigs still has his claws and they are lethally long and sharp. Don't even ask about trimming the claws, tried it and my mind-mannered cat turned into a lion.
Sooooo, what to do? Penny gets to go outside but not fair for Tigs. (I blame this all on Greg, by the way... Tigs didn't even know what outside was and had no interest in the door until Greg came into my life and opened doors for Tigs too!) I'm kind of glad that Greg did this, because I bought something... for Tigger.
Penny got all those wonderful toys from Pet Mountain and Tigger, well, he got a cool blue three wheeler! Yes he did! (When Greg put the ride together, he said, "I'm not walking Tigger in this. You can." Hehe) Below is a picture, you can barely see Tigs in there.
Greg and I took Tigs for a walk with Penny. Penny thought it was great and Tigs was sitting up pretty, sniffing the air, popped a couple of wheelies and soaked up the sun.
Ok, I know it's a little strange.. looks like a baby carriage, but HEY... Tigs gets outside, we go walking as a family.... people (including us) call their pets their kids... so my carriage carries a fur face, what of it!
I can't wait to take Tigs to the park. Seriously, this little three wheeler has opened up a lot of options for me to bring the cat along. I always felt like I was leaving the cat out of all the adventures.
Here's Tigs chilling. When I first bought his wheels, I thought for sure he'd fight me on going inside it, but he settled in very well and calmly, as if he knew it was his right away.
