As I have mentioned before I wasn't raised having cats as pets and the two working cats we have were installed in the barn. The operative word here was 'were' as the goats have been vacationing since November at the neighbors, those cats moved themselves to the front porch. If they could, they would be inside in a New York minute.
In fact, they like Balto so much and visa versa that those 2 cats, Blanca and Bebe have started taking walks with us when we go to the mailbox. At first, I thought it was a fluke that Blanca one day walked more than half a mile with us. She then stopped, sat down and awaited our return to return home with us. The following day she walked the mile. But on that day's return walk she got spooked as a rattling trailer on the nearby black top drove by and she darted off into the woods.
When she didn't return home after a couple of hours, I went back out looking for her and calling her name. Sure enough as I neared the road near the neighbor's barn she rushed out mewing like crazy. I carried her half of the way thinking she was tuckered out.
The following day she must have told Bebe, the other cat, what she was she was missing out on because since then both cats have been coming on the walk with us to get the mail.
Did you know cats take walks?
It's a hoot. Sometimes Balto will race them/ pester them to play en route. I told you these are strange times...
