Taking a cat to a park? You never see it. I would have liked to have taken a cat on a leash to Richmond Park today. It would have been a failure but I would have liked to have shared the moment with my cat!
I have just come back from Richmond Park. It is close to where I live. As you can see it is a beautiful place for people and potentially cats (on a leash). Yes, it’s the old leash argument again.
This is an excuse show to how charming Richmond Park is. They are just snapshots, nothing special. It is the place that is special. This is a place where you can refresh the spirit. It puts a person in touch with nature. It is better than being in the country because the whole park is open to walking and there are no cows cow pats and mud, just deer, lush grass and a light breeze.
Here is another landscape picture of Richmond Park:
It doesn’t look to have as many trees as our Parks up North do.
Yes I often feel that cats miss out on such beautiful places. They must have loved living in the wild with all their freedom, before we came along, it makes me sad that they lost that, dangerous as it was sometimes, it was how they were born to live their natural lives.
Here is one more of Richmond Park:
Beautiful!
stunning!
A quiet part which cats would love if they didn’t hate journeys and being away from familiar things.
Hardwick Park would be a cat’s paradise with the birds and squirrels, I’m quite surprised there are no feral colonies there.
That looks a bit like Richmond Park. Big, not many people. Quiet. As you both say cats don’t travel very well and there are too many potential hazards. I wish our cats could experience what we experience in these beautiful places.
Imagine a cat among these lol
Babz is surrounded by ducks, she said their wet feathers felt lovely against her feet
“If you love cats you love ducks”….lol
I love ducks. “A cat amongst the pigeons” comes to mind. Just change pigeons for ducks.
We take lots of food but it’s never enough as there are so many, they follow us for a while quacking for more lol and we expect a peck or two, but the swans are most scary when they want more, we don’t stop to take their photo!
I love that photo of Babz among a herd of ducks!
You say you have no wildlife in London, Michael, but those deer are amazing!
