	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Cat personality unleashed Friday, February 24, 2006 Cat personality unleashed A simple four foot chain leash for a dog can provide valuable personality insight into your cats. No, really. Last week Malaya got a dog (beagle mix, about 10kg and very friendly) for her mom, who's lonely and bored with her husband so often out of town. Plus, a dog gives her something to care for and a reason to go out and walk and such, and it "keeps her strong for the apo." The hypothetical, future apo, that is. Malaya's mom doesn't know too much about keeping a dog yet though, and when she left out the nylon leash they had, the dog took it for a chew toy and did what dogs do with chew toys. Hence Malaya and me heading to PetCo after dinner last night, and picking up a chain leash. The fun began when we got home, and wondered just how the cats would do on a leash. The dog's got a chest harness thing, while the cats have just collars, but it wasn't like I planned to take them outside; I just wanted to see how they'd react. I found out. Dusty went first, and he simply went limp. He hunkered down on the couch and passively resisted, and then when my steady pull got him to ooze down to the floor, he flopped onto his side and remained motionless. I'm talking road kill kitty; I was pulling him like a sack of mail, until after about half a meter I took mercy on his pathetic state and unhooked him. He was on his side, his legs out and limp, and his head back. It was really quite a pathetic sight. Jinxie was next, having watched Dusty's humiliation without much interest. I clipped the leash around her collar, and never even got to pull, since the weight of the chain was enough to cause her to dig in her claws and brace herself. A second passed, and when the pull no her collar didn't cease, she basically turned into a wild stallion fighting a bridle, whipping her head around in circles and rearing up and pawing. Her collar was no match for that, and in maybe two seconds Jinx won, as her snap collar popped open and flew off with the leash still clipped around it. As the title of this post suggests, the leash incident prefectly demonstrated their personalities. It was a feline Rorschach test, and just as with the real inkblot test, there were no right or wrong answers; just insights into the testee's personality. As we already knew, Jinxie meets conflict with combative ferocity, while Dusty is a big "lie still and hope nothing bad happens" pussy. Feel free to conduct similar research on your own test subjects, and report the results here. Labels: cats, dusty, jinx Posted by: Flux # 7:01 AM Comments: Most of my cats fought a leash, but I used a harness collar (goes around the chest as well as the neck) and they could never actually get loose from it. Most would be passive once harness/leash was attached, but a few would run around like mad for a while then hide under the bed in a funk or something. Only one cat actually liked the leash. I took him for walks like a dog, he never even pulled away too much, just sniffed things as we went, looking back at me meowing if I stopped too long, it was funny. But he was an unusually trusting/calm cat...I've wanted another cat like that for a while... #: 8:57 PM posted by Anonymous Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
