Lead cat

I bought Cute Cat a new harness yesterday. It is so crazy dark these days, often pitch black before I come home from work. Then I don't want to take out my very dark cat, in a very dark harness, walking him in my dark neighbourhood. I want people to see him - both because he's cute, but especially so they don't drive/bike over him or step on him.

The harness is made of a quite strong reflector material, giving of a crazy white glow whenever there is something to reflect. I can't see how people won't notice him now!

He kind of looks like one of those lead dogs you see leading people with impaired vision. Althogh, one should not mix him up for one of those dogs, I don't think a blind person wants to be led off to most of the places where he walks. I.e. randomly crossing the street no matter if there are cars or bikes coming, climbing up trees, running aggressively towards neighbourhood cats, or running wildly the opposite way from the neighbourhood dogs.

I will try it out tonight. Or what's the point of waiting until night, it'll be winter dark before 4.30pm.

Hur gick det?

Det gick jättebra, både igår (som jag sa igår i telefon till dig), och idag igen. Han var helt genomblöt när han kom in igen, för det regnade, och skvätte väl upp vatten på magen på honom. Men han syntes jättebra när bilarna körde förbi.
