DO you take your pets anywhere other than the vet and the groomers?

Cats seem to be independent pets unlike dogs which are left wallowing in sadness on being left alone. Cats seem like they experience mood swings, I mean, they can be unpredictable. This moment, they are rubbing their bodies over your legs, the next moment, you are an unwelcome guest especially if they have marked a prey to pounce on and then you happen to pass by. Kittens are the most vulnerable when left alone and most amenable to be taken out. They really enjoy the rendezvous and keep the owner busy by their unceasing but gentle clawing. We used to have an African variegated cat but left him by mistake and he had to fend for himself. He survived for quite a long time, testimony of the fact that unlike dogs, cats have not shorn off their wild instincts and don't appreciate the fuss and hassle of being taken out.
