Bullet's Excellent Adventure

With the lower humidity and nice breeze, I decided to take Bullet out for a stroll around the back yard this afternoon. Here he is chilling under our Tulip Poplar sporting his new harness and leash. Who says you can't walk a cat? :0) Actually he is pretty good at it. He wasn't at first. Whenever I would put the harness on him, he would flop down on the ground. Now when he sees me getting it out, he comes running.

Now that's a real scratching post.

Listening to the hot bugs in the trees.

I couldn't resist making this little Willow crown for him. He seemed to enjoy wearing it.

Bullet enjoying his favorite dry cat food, Natural Choice Oceanfish flavor from Nutro. Nutro pet food is made locally in Lebanon, TN and is all natural. He loves this stuff ! There's a plug for ya' :0) Happy Friday everyone!

On the Inside Looking Out

I took this picture on our back porch. Bullet was looking at me out of the back door. It made for a pretty neat photo with the reflections of the back porch in the glass.

Our cat Bullet in his new favorite hang out. He's discovered the top of the kitchen cabinets. Never a dull moment since he's been with us!

Our 1 year old cat, Bullet, is now on a diet. I took him to the vet on Thursday for his shots and checkup. He weighs 11 pounds. No, that isn't a misprint, he weighs 11 pounds. I knew he was heavy, but had no idea he was that heavy! No more canned food in the morning and only dry cat food during the day. Treats are limited too. Our vet said that neutered males are more likely to gain extra weight. So far, he seems to be adjusting to his new diet :0)
