Riding originally referred to horses, mostly, and other large mammals that can be trained to tolerate human on their backs. The Jefferson Starship (child of the Airplane) once had a hit called “Ride the Tiger”, but large felines are not among those mammals…
I rode my bicycle today, but not very far; just some local errands as it is faster – and warmer – than walking. I was actually quite warm when I returned home. We had a bit of freezing rain but it has all melted and the streets, pavements and cycle paths are dry. My entire run was on cycle paths, making it much safer. I’m really glum when the snow comes to stay … sort-of, our weather is now a freeze and melt cycle, but that also causes potholes and worse.
My fantasy has nothing to do with a Jag, but why not go all out for a private railway car as royalty and bigwigs used to have. It would obviously feature VIP boxes for my cat where she could safely view the landscape without falling if there was a sudden stop.
Today is also National Housing Day in Canada. I’m wearing a button that declares “Adoptez un chat errant” (Adopt a stray cat), so I guess I’ve done my part in housing errant felines. Now, the SPCA helps people who adopt stray cats or dogs, even if they aren’t at their shelter. Unfortunately, that programme started up AFTER I’d paid for deworming, spaying, shots, etc…
