Tim Takes Merry For a Walk

Yes, Merry has been given a little trip outside with a leash. The only problem is that in this picture, he does not know he is on a leash. Merry thinks Tim is just following him around for no reason. What followed this scene was not photographed, but Merry, realizing that he had something attached to his neck, freaked out, ran inside and ended up running straight into the glass door of the kitchen and bumped his head. After that he seemed a little stunned, but as soon as I took the leash off of him, he was much happier. Incidentally, I tried to put him on the leash and let him outside with me today but he was not having any of it! He is just a cat who is born free! Why he would want to be on a leash anyway is beyond me! He's not a dog, and even dogs don't like it very much, but cats, they're another story. They make the rules and if there were leashes involved, we'd be wearing them and not them. They know who is really boss!
