Today
Left work early today and went rollerblading. First time out this season, legs sore. Skated along the Eliza Furnace Trail which I love for its views and the fact it takes you right into Downtown and now that the pedestrian bridge is completed you can also cross over to South Side.
Tonight I went for a walk and came across a kitty on a side street. He was very friendly and had one lazy eye that just made him cuter. He also had a collar with a phone number on it. I called to make sure he lived nearby and was not lost. Turns out he was not far from home and it was not unusual for him to be roaming. Personally IMHO, I don't think you should let a cat roam, at least in an urban area in the streets. It's one thing if you have a kitty that stays close to home, in your yard, etc. But this was a busy area and any thing can make it dart into the road or someone can snatch your pet for their own, especially if they are as friendly as this one was.
