An Easter Sunday Stroll to Fetch the Newspaper, and 1st Decorations

My Stroller, and I, are still sorting out the issues of our relationship.

I absolutely love to sleep in the thing!

Despite initial jitters, and the occasional backseat driving (Or is that "frontseat" since I'm in front, and Daddy steers from the back?), I have enjoyed our strolls so far.

However....

I make it difficult for Daddy to get me in the stroller in the first place. ;-D

If I'm napping, when Daddy wants to go, I manage to awaken, and leap out, before he zips the door closed. ;-D

Even when he entices me into the stroller with tasty treats...I gobble them up, and quickly leap out again! ;-D

He bought a Harness, recently, but we have not yet been introduced.

I imagine, if I got used to it, I would not be able to leap out of the Stroller, once it's attached inside. ;-D

I don't know what it is, exactly, about the simple process of getting in for the ride, that spooks me... but think it might be related, in some way, to my life long displeasure at getting in my cramped carrier.

Anyway, Daddy managed to take me out for my 3rd Stroll, this morning. ;-D

We walked around the apartment complex, and I got to meet another one of the neighbor Cats, and some more of the neighbor Humans, too!

As you can tell... the Kitty was extremely surprised, and curious, to see me, and my ride.

So much so that it was speechless! ;-D

Obviously Daddy didn't think that a run to the nearby Gas Station, for his papers, required that he shave, and wear his Easter Sunday Clothes.

Not that he even HAS Easter Sunday Clothes to wear. ;-D

(Shirt says: I'm Strange, Maybe even Crazy, But there's Never a Dull Moment!)

We had to run a gauntlet of noisy Human Transports again to get across the street to the place where the Humans feed those transports.

I was flat out amazed at all there was to see in such a small room!

These places are also one of those locations where the Humans can feed themselves when away from home, and can even pay to play some games they call the Lotto, and Lottery.

Most of the food, and drinks, they buy here are what some call "Junk Food", though Daddy prefers to buy the healthier Chicken, Egg, or Tuna (No, I don't get any, darn it!) Sandwiches, and Cheese Sticks.

They don't sell Cat Food, or Litter, much less toys, but these places are still cool to visit for the Human Watching, and the possibility of there being other Cats around, or even a Dog, if the Humans who run the place are Critter People.

As you can see I've begun to decorate my Stroller with patches, and stickers, that are attached with little velcro strips, squares, or circles.

Daddy, and I've yet to find humor, and Cat, related ones, that we like, and plan to make the main motif, to put on my ride, so settled on starting out by displaying our love of country as a way to get my decorating under way.

As time goes by I'm sure the current decorations will be joined by others, and replaced as needed.

On one side are American flags including one saying V - Stars & Stripes Forever.

On the front are the American Flag, and Uncle Sam, flanked by United We Stand, and Land of the Free.

As you will also notice, at the bottom, I also have a Kitty City Gazette Sticker, with it's Website URL, for all to see! ;-D

It is there to proudly proclaim my pride in being called a "Great Orator & Writer!" (3/13/10) by the KCG. ;-D

Later this month Daddy plans to get a Cat Bloggers Rule! Sticker, and we also want to try, and print out an image of my Cat Blogosphere Offishul Repurrter Badge, laminate it, and stick on my Feline Utility Vehicle (FUV), too! ;-D

***UPDATE 930PM***

Remembering that Daddy had a couple of things stuck in the window by the front door, I wondered if we could stick them on the Stroller instead, and we could! ;-D
