I thought it was time to get Toro to use the other walking jacket that I have. I had originally bought 2 - one for Bujang in red and one for Ms Akira in blue. But Ms Akira did not appreciate being restrained in this way when she was younger. So I had kept it just in case Bujang wore out his red one. Toro did not protest very much and he allowed me to put his jacket on him. Once he was in it, I let him walk about in the house so that he could get used to it.
Toro was out along the corridor. He did not know how to walk in the jacket as yet and kind of stalked about in it. But at least he continued to walk and did not protest and refuse to move. I was very glad that he took everything in his stride.
Plan view of Toro resting near grandma's plants. I must say the blue looks nice on him and makes his eyes bluer - if that was possible :)
Toro made his way or rather stalked his way to the neighbours plants. He was very confident and sniffed about. The jacket did not bother him one bit.
Toro faced a crossroad of sorts. To go on to visit the neighbours or to stay and turn around and do something else. He decided, like the adventurer that he was, to go visit the neighbours. So he turned the corner and sniffed about. I thought it was time that I brought him home as it would look truly weird if the neighbours opened their doors to see my cat and I right there. :)
The next thing to do is to get him familiar with the jacket so he would walk upright instead of stalk and slink about.
I sometimes lament about my cat affaires - of how Toro Tunabelly would fight to be Top Cat and he still does; or how Bujang slaps him back (which he does often). They go through the ritual of fighting and wrestling (no blood thank goodness) or to dream up the next wrestling match to be Masters of the Universe or the Great Contender. :)
Ahhh..what a life this is!
