Let's Take a Walk With Zim!

Tail wags, dear readers - it's me, Stormy! In the mornings, the redheads take Dad on a nice, long walk for their big exercise of the day. During that time, Dave and I take Mom on a shorter one. In the afternoon, we all usually get to do something with Mom - whether it's going out on a cool adventure, playing in the yard, or going on another walk from the house. One of my favorite things to do is take a walk with Zim! And Mom. Zim never rushes me and loves to take time to enjoy each and every thing along the way. I know many of you would love to go walking with Zim, too, so I had Mom shoot some pix to show you what it's like! Ready to go? Let's take a walk with Zim!

Here we are from the other day, heading down the street:

You can tell Zim is already looking around for some fun, can't you? Predictably enough, on our way home, Zim spotted one of our kitty-cat friends and stopped. Here's a collage:

I never did see the kitty, nor did Mom, but Zim knew he was out there. It was probably our friend the Calico Cat. She's a bit more shy than the other kits in the neighborhood. You can see Zim was doing his utmost to win her over and have her come over to visit!

Apparently when Ammy and/or Dave go with Zim on afternoon walkies, they aren't quite as patient with him while he communes with his friends. Me? I'm happy to take a little breather - plus I love kit-cats like Zim does. (One of my best friends back at Ft. Riley was a beautiful Siamese named Kit!) But then there comes a time when we do need to head back to Ao4 Headquarters.

Come on, Zim. Let's head home.

As a leader, it's up to me to ... lead.

I sure was hoping the Calico kit-cat would come over, Storm!
Can't we go back and try again?

Sheesh. Do you see that Sad Look he's doing in that photo above? Enough to break your heart! Who taught him that?!?! Oh... ha roo roo roo! Right. It was me. Well, I couldn't even look at him, or I would have caved. He's really got that one down, doesn't he?

We'll try again tomorrow, Zim.

We haven't seen the Calico since then, but we have made friends with a black and white kitty! She's even followed us home and hangs out in our yard now! We'll try to get Mom to take her picture.

Hope you enjoyed our walk with Zim. I know I always love it!

Tail wags,
Storms

  3. Our hu-dad tells us not to play with black and white kitties, but we are guessing that yours is different than the type he refers to.

  6. Martha is just desperate to make friends with our kitty neighbour!
    You must pass on all your tips.
    She is really trying to be patient - OK she might be a little too friendly but she doesn't bark!
    Lovely pics.
    love

  9. We liked taking a walk with woo & Zim a lot! Star used to like long slow walks so she could sniff every little thing. We generally like to go faster when its just us & mom, but we do stop fur mini-biped petting!

    a-roos to yous,
    jack a-roo & moo too

  10. Hooray for walkies Strom and Zim, We like to go fast but we usally have to stop and sniff every tree, bush, light pole, I know you guys get the idea. Sometimes Dad tells us we are supposed to walk not sniff.

    It's fun to ignore him.

  20. That was a fun stroll with you and Zim! It's too bad he didn't see Calico Cat but it's purrfect that a black and white kitty has adopted your yard! You have lots in common!

  23. Hi Stormy,

    I'd love to come on a walk with you and Zim too! And I also love looking for cats on my walks...in fact, I've only recently discovered that they hide under cars!! So I have started checking under every car we pass - which can make my humans very annoyed with me! Hee! Hee!

  24. HMMMM

    Maybe the pussycats have found some high stealth invisibility cloaks and sneak around you...
