Errr...'lovely shaped head'? What???

I'm trying to introduce the cat to a harness and the park opposite. I want her to have more life outside of our flat.

So earlier I was told it was the one of the sweetest things she'd ever seen by a lady (when I was tripping over cat lead) and just now some photographer bloke said she had a lovely shaped head. WTF??

Is she an exotic shorthair? My cat is and his a different shaped head than most cats maybe he was acknowledging the difference?

I once had a cat muleteer stranger shout at me

"That bloody thing looks like a cat!"

🤷🏼‍♀️

No she's a moggie. I guess other people might like her head! Not that I don't I'd just never think of commenting on it.

She's taking well to the park and harness though.

YesItsMe is an expert in cat harnesses (and muleteers, evidently!).

We're just taking our baby steps with it. I guess she hasn't gotten lost or strangled herself so all good so far. Just wasn't expecting all the curiosity about a cat on a lead, you get stopped every few paces

I would love to take my Bengal out on a harness but he just flattens himself right down and then tries to walk backwards out of it!

I now have an image of yesitsme walking her cat in the park and finding the stranger driving a train of cats, heavily laden with military supplies completely unremarkable, other than the fact he commented on her cat's appearance...

@Canshopwillshop my exotic does the same 🙈 I saw A family walking a Bengal at the giants causeway the last time I was there and was like 😱 what is this sorcery as I've never known a cat to cooperate with a lead!

Canshopwillshop · 15/06/2018 17:55

😅 Dwangela - definitely think it takes more patience than I have available!

You see cats on harnesses all the time in France.

Has she got it on in that photograph? Park looks gorgeous!!

People say it about babies all the time, maybe its the same thing?
