My cat is getting more adventurous on the leash, which is good news for her but bad news for me. She'll only go on walks at night, and she wants to lurk around outside everyone's windows and make me look like a total creep. I'm not trespassing, we never leave the apartment grounds, but it's dark, my clothes are black, and my cat is black, so I'm worried if I hover too close to the building someone's just gonna see a silhouette outside their window and get freaked out.
We also switched to a new antacid and she absolutely hates me for it, but she hasn't thrown up this week :)
To mitigate the creep factor you could try snap-on hi-viz strips on your clothing, and maybe an LED collar on kitty! At least no one could accuse you of hiding in the dark.
Good idea, thanks! Especially about the collar, I bought hers back before I even considered leash training, so it's not the most visible. It'd be helpful to have something reflective if she ever got away from me
That would be an added benefit, yes! I live in a rural area with no sidewalks and no street lights. Whenever I walk my dog at night, both of us are lit up and reflective, just in case. I used to be the only one that went to such extremes but now I see a couple other people following suit. Yay for safety!
