Luna the camping diabetic

[pevsfreedom]

We got back form Sequoia and obviously had to take Luna with us,

took some pictures. She's doing great by the way and did FANTASTIC on the trip. She even used the bathroom in the bushes like a dog. @Cat Ma.

She hiked literally everywhere with us. She got tired a few times and we carried her. She listened to come on, stop, slow down, etc. It was really amazing how well she did.

Awesome! We took Snickers camping for the first time to Zion National Park. Not completely rugged camping but we were in a tent trailer at an RV lot. She had bad neuropathy at the time. We are looking forward to camping with her again!

Wonderful pictures...and I love her little cat-butt-wiggle in the video, too! Very cool that you all enjoyed camping together. I don't think my kitties would be too thrilled, and of course I'm a little high-strung so I'd be a very nervous MamaBean ....

Totally awesome. Good for Luna little hiking won't hurt. She is a beautiful girl.

 

[Anne & Hyde (GA)]

Love the way she just walks down the trail like it is no big deal - mine would climb the largest sequoia and never come down!

 

[Sandi and Toby]

That is unbelievably adorable!

Oh my - that is amazing and totally adorable! Thank you for sharing!

Is that a harness (the orange cover) or sweater?

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

Awesome! I can't believe how well behaved she is!

I'm glad things worked out with Luna camping. How great. Thanks for sharing.

Luna's such a cutie!

 

[Cat Ma]

Great pictures and video!! I especially liked the last two photos! I bet Luna was thrilled to have you both all to herself! Did she get a medal for Camper of the Month?
Ready for your next camping trip, Luna?

Wow, what a well-behaved cat! I can't believe how she walked with you. Have you trained her on a leash since she was a kitten? My kitties lay down as soon as you put the harness on them and won't go anywhere!

John, I'm late to seeing your video, but can't resist commenting! She looks great! I took punkin out for walks around the neighborhood just to get him some exercise. He liked it. Although walking with a cat is nothing like walking with a dog. Or I should say walking with punkin was nothing like walking with a dog - he (then me) went under shrubs and through skinny little places. Never on the sidewalk. I got a faceful of spider web more than once until I finally wised up!

I'm impressed that Luna was walking down that trail so cooperatively! Great to see you and your family!

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Fantastic! What an accomplished camper Luna is! Now, can you persuade her to make a pancake breakfast for the family?

Thanks for all the kind words all! My e-mail never told me the thread was ever replied to! She absolutely loves the outdoors and was so good on the whole trip.

It's a pumpkin harness lol.

Absolutely. She drags me through bushes and spiderwebs. We take her outside every few days now (she bolts out the door just to dive into the grass sometimes). Thanks for watching.

She hiked honestly at least a mile out there. I was so impressed. She got tired a few times and sat down so we just picked her up - she came everywhere with us. I almost died laughing after we got out of the truck once and she ran to the bushes to pee.

We got her as a diabetic when she was 7 y/o. We've only taken her outside 2-3 times before this trip.

No but she did get a lot (too many) of treats out there.

@pevsfreedom Luna looks like she was enjoying her trip! Love the pics, I was waiting for them I wish vegetable would walk so nice on her leash, veg likes her harness but she gets way to distracted & wants to go everywhere but where I want her to go!
