Ragdoll Cat Forums

Since it’s been cooler out lately, we decided to take the boys out for a stroll around the neighborhood. They are very good walkers and the neighbors get a kick out of seeing them. We’ve even had people drive by and take a second look because they can’t believe we’re walking cats!


At first, it's all about the smells:




Merlin showing off his form:






Merlin is such a good boy!





Arthur is a good walker, too – but I couldn’t photograph him while I was walking him. So…he wanted to make sure he was represented, too:

These are such great pictures - I am really pleased you shared them, thank you. It looks like Arthur and Merlin really enjoy themselves too.

Those are great pics!! I don't walk my girls (too many other things in the neighborhood that could attack them, including my outdoors cat), but even if I could, I don't think I could get hubby to do it with me for anything! You have a great hubby who will walk cats with you.

Merlin and Arthur are such beautiful cats. You must stop traffic so people can admire them!

That was way to cute !!!

That looks like a fun way to spend an evening. They are both so beautiful and they have gotten so big.

I have to ask: I have never seen lawns so beautiful, lush and so green. Maybe it's because I live on cape and everything is sandy lawn, but where do you live? I would love to walk barefoot through all of that!!

They are beautiful! So you use just a collar and a leash, I see. (I am relatively new to the Raggie world and am still on the learning curve)

My hubby is great with the boys! It's also nice that we can each have one to walk. Next time I'll take pictures of Arthur.

The lawns are finally starting to look good again since we've had a week of rain! I live in northwestern Illinois.

I would recommend a harness over a collar. Cats are very good at playing Houdini and escaping through collars. I put my boys in a secure harness and then use an expandable leash so we can control how far they can go. Welcome to the Raggie world ~ you'll love it here!!!
