A Rainy Walk in Jomtien That Got Out of Hand
Viktor NovikovDao is a nine-year-old Bengal cat, which already tells you he is not a normal house cat. He likes water, high places, and anything that moves, so when the rainy season started in Jomtien, I thought a short evening walk on a harness would be harmless. Honestly, I was wrong about the harmless part.
We left the condo just before six. The sky looked fine for about five minutes. Then the rain came down in a wall, the soi turned into a shallow stream, and Dao decided he wanted to explore the drain. He stopped dead at the edge, staring into the water like it owed him money. I had to pick him up while holding an umbrella that flipped inside out.
The honest lesson is simple. Bengals are athletic, and wet pavement is slippery for both of you. Now I walk him only before the afternoon storms, I carry a towel in my bag, and I keep the harness snug enough that he cannot slip out when he gets excited. He still gives me a look every time it rains, like I stole his adventure, which I suppose I did.

Tip: Bengal cats need a harness with a strong clip, mine escaped once. Also check the zip on the carrier, they figure things out fast.

Did he get hurt? I'm worried about cuts from the drains, please check his paws.

Dao sounds like a real character, your walk story made me laugh. Bengals are so smart, no wonder he figured out the rain walk his own way.

I think rainy walks are not so good for cats. Dao sounds very wild, maybe use an indoor harness instead next time.

Oh no, I'm worried he might get sick from the wet. Do u keep him dry after the walk?

ดาวกลับมาตอนไหนคะ เจอตอนไหนก่อน แล้วพอจับได้ทำยังไงคะ
KESSARIN · vor 2 Monaten
เวลาพาแมวเดินนอกบ้านช่วงฝน ควรเตรียมผ้าเช็ดตัวไว้ด้วยนะคะ เช็ดอุ้งเท้าให้แห้งก่อนเข้าบ้าน ร็อคกี้ก็เป็นแบบนี้ค่ะ

I think the cat is not for walking in rain, maybe next time keep him indoor? Dao is cute but very dangerous lol

다오가 많이 놀랐겠어요. 발바닥 상처는 없었나요? 비 오는 날은 집에서 쉬게 해주세요.
