I suppose the best thing would be to start with the backyard then slowly work your way up at their pace (maybe just an open front door if you don’t have a yard). Cat’s are liquid and one of the best examples of that is how hard it is to keep them in any sort of harness. I took my cat out for a walk once with my dogs and he managed to slip out of his harness; I had to chase him for about a block before I managed to corner him in someones driveway. I’m lucky I’m pretty fit else he would’ve been gone.
… I do recall there was someone in …Texas I think? …that made harness’ specifically for cats. Something about avoiding a nerve centre on their back that basically makes them go limp if something pushes against it.
That boy’s drowning in pussy.
“I see you got rid of all the old boxes again… it would be a shame if something happened to your… blanket…”
BECAUSE HE HAD JUST POOPED AND PUT HIS POOPY PAW INTO MY WATER AND I DIDN’T KNOW UNTIL I TASTED IT. ;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;
One of my cats had really fluffy paws that he would stick into any and all cups of water/interesting liquid to soak it up, then he would lick it out of his paw fur. One time I left my office to get a package and when I came back the water I had left on my desk tasted suspiciously of cat litter…
I think it depends on the cat tbh. Mine were from the streets, so I think there was a lot “done with this shit, never again” going on.
Nice work! Mine were already 3 or 4 by that point so it was too late. ;-;
I tried this with my cats once, but they were not having it at all.
Sources?
I have one for you:

Much of this impact may be attributed to feral, unowned cats, but domestic cats contribute substantially to predation on wildlife in urban areas. Predation rates per area by domestic cats in residential areas are 28–52 times higher than predation rates by feral cats in natural environments (Legge et al., 2020). Urban areas support diverse wildlife including threatened species, with 46% of nationally threatened Australian animals (almost 200 species) occurring in urban areas (Ives et al., 2016; Soanes & Lentini, 2019). Pet cats have been documented as having caused local eradication of native species populations (Bamford & Calver, 2015; Legge, Woinarski, et al., 2020), and even a single domestic cat can have major impacts on population decline and reproductive failure in a bird colony (Greenwell, Calver, & Loneragan, 2019).
Cat’s don’t belong outside unsupervised.

My cat if I don’t drag string around a corner at least ten times a day…
Dear Humans,
You say this isn’t a bed and yet it is soft, and fuzzy.
Curious.
I think you posted it correctly, links die like that sometimes with lemmy. Don’t know why.
*maybe just something with my browser too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice picture, makes me wanna give scritches.
Weird, I just see the good ol’ broken image fallback.
