Morning all ☕
We had a very relaxed day yesterday. I was utterly exhausted!
I think I've finally turned a proper corner with Miss Tabby and last night she actually purred. A lot. She hasn't had a good purr in months.
She's doing well in her new harness and walks are becoming quite the adventure. I do struggle to take her out for her evening walk (at the moment 9pm) but it makes a huge difference to her and she's much more settled.
PSA to anyone trying to harness train a cat: for the love of all things Holy, bin the static lead that comes with them. Just No. Get a 5m retractable lead but never allow them to extend beyond, say, 1.5m and always have your thumb covering the button that stops it extending. It makes life so much easier when your cat is going in every available direction and it allows them to have a short climb in the bottom of a tree without it all going tits up.
Unfortunately, no pics as we're always out in the dark. Even then, something spooked her this morning and she bolted back to the tent. That was a fun few seconds...
Anyhoo, it's another day here doing some prep work for an interview I'm conducting tomorrow and then, conditions permitting, we're heading towards a few silos I'm keen on seeing. If we make it there I'll post pics.
Here's a link to her new harness. I highly recommend.
