I realized the other day that I haven't done a Wednesday Walk post since last year! So I decided yesterday, after many days of blustery spring weather, that it was high time I took a stroll around the yard with my camera. First I took Sandy out for his morning constitutional, then I came back in for my Nikon. Freddie was sitting in one of the kitchen chairs and made such a pitiful mewing noise that I figured - why not bring him along again, like I did back in August? So today I have 15 pictures and one short video, of my Wednesday Walk with Freddie on April 14th 2020!
Speaking of walking, don't forget to "walk" on over to @tattoodjay's latest post, called Wednesday Walk and make me smile - Gulf Beach that has some great scenic shots from early March in Milford Connecticut. Also be sure to check out the latest #WednesdayWalk collab from the #MakeMeSmile tag hostess @elizacheng called MakeMeSmile Season 3 WednesdayWalk MakeMeSmile which has some great shots of her last physical trip to the grocery store in Malaysia back in February!
Oh, last thing - I've been playing around with the colors & design of my thumbnail, but I'm not completely happy with it yet. Don't be surprised if it changes a bazillion times over few more times in coming days. 😂
Now, on to A Wednesday Walk with Freddie on April 14th 2020!
1. After I put his harness on and opened the kitchen door, Freddie marched straight out to the grass and started sniffing.
2. I knew what he was looking for, so I carried him out back, and put him down near where the chipmunks have been hanging out looking for nest material. He spent a long time sniffing & digging around here!
3. I finally convinced him to walk across the yard to the woods.
4. We immediately heard the chippies yelling at us from the rocks!
5. Freddie pretending he doesn't care about them...lol!
6. After a bit, he decided to sharpen some of his forty thousand (he's double pawed) claws...
7. ... then he decided it was time for a climb!
8. Even though he had plenty of leash, this is as far as he got before...
9. ... he turned around and hopped back down.
10. He contemplated a nearby shagbark hickory tree as well, but thought better of it! Don't blame him - those long strips of bark must be hard to climb!
Here's the short video - Freddie started sniffing the ground intently again, before deciding to head down into the woods. Given my naturally tippy (notice I didn't say tipsy...lol) nature, I stopped recording after a couple of steps. Although a video of me rolling down the hill while holding a cat on a leash might be worth a spot on America's Funniest Videos - maybe I should try it some time! 🤣
11. A little further into the woods, Freddie found a great piece of deadwood to sharpen his claws some more.
12. Something caught his attention - two seconds after I took this, his tail bushed out even more, then....
13. ... he ran over to the tree in front of me....
14. ...and climbed as fast as he could! He didn't resist in the slightest when I pulled him down and plopped him on my left shoulder (his favorite way to be carried is slung over someone's shoulder).
15. In fact, he purred (which made me smile) the whole way back through the woods and into the house. Needless to say, he took a good long nap after his adventure!
Happy walking & see you next week!

Freddie looks like he had such fun outside, and this was such a fun Walk post :)
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, @tattoodjay and he always has fun outdoors. Thanks again for being an awesome host!
👍🙂👍
Cute! I have a baby girl British short hair, but I won’t have the courage to take her outdoors!!!! She jumps like a rabbit!!! 😹
She sounds adorable, @starjewel! We weren't sure how Freddie would react at first, but he took to the harness like a fish to water, just like our other cat Sid. However, our landlady's granddaughter (studying veterinary medicine) tried with her cat, and he just laid on the ground and glared at her... 😂
Wow... Totally an awesome WALK and SMILE post!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🐈
You took awesome photos of handsome Freddie...
And, ya, please be careful while taking photos/video and walking a cat at the same time... !BEER !trdo
Thanks so much, @elizacheng! Yep, I'm being careful... mostly... 😂
Hope you have a great weekend!
Ginger, just got to love ginger cats, Freddie definitely enjoyed his outing, I find it strange seeing a cat on a leash, not something we see here.
Wish I could escape into the woods and walk, the beach would be fun..... actually a walk anywhere would be good soon!
Thanks for sharing your adventures together and keep safe, keep smiling!

Putting a cat on leash was never something I even thought was possible, but circumstances about 7 years ago made us check it out for our other cat Sid.
Before the lockdown happened, I was feeling itching to move someplace less remote. Now I feel completely lucky to be able to go outside in our yard without having to worry.
Bright blessings to you and yours, Joan! 😊
