A Bike-riding Picnic Adventure!!

Our growing kitten, Picnic Jeeves, is now almost 5 months old, happy and healthy... So I think it's time to start bike training! We have taken her around the carpark on the bike before and she had no issues with it, so it's time to give it a serious go. I looked on the net (always a valuable but somewhat dubious source of info) for encouragement and thought I would share the findings with you. 

Picnic Jeeves has been playing in our bike baskets since we brought her home.

Look how chilled this cat is.

Ha! 

 Best use of a helmet ever!

Ummm, not like this...
 

 Just had to put this one up!

Postman Pat and his black and white cat!

So we tried it.  Picnic Jeeves is happy to chill out in any basket so we had no problems settling her in.  She also loves going for walks on the harness so was happy to be strapped in, snuggly on top of her blanket.  If she was to meow or be distressed in anyway we would not be continuing.  But again our little cat surprised us.  She peered out with her big eyes, and took it all in. 

 

 

She even started to play!  So we headed out onto the street (very quiet streets - no cars) and pedalled slowly around.  Picnic Jeeves liked it, she looked around, checking out noises and was comfy and content.  

What a superstar cat!!  And we are totally amazed that she likes bike riding too!!

The perfect name..

The year of 2011 has been interesting for the Feather Brigade so far. Nearly every event we have organised has been rained out. Strangely this phenomenon only seems to affect our picnics. So we need a sunshine-filled day, just one, to fulfill the desire for bike hangs, park antics, photo pranks and all other types of mischief.

So when J-bot, S-boy and I recently adopted a rescue kitten, what else could we name her but... Picnic Jeeves.

So we will be organizing a Picnic in the next few weeks... So what do you need to get ready? To help us break the curse? Just one thing...

A Picnic basket!

Awww but when you have such a cute kitten, how can you leave her behind?? Well, we haven't been attending bike events while she settles in. But Picnic loves baskets and with a bit more harness practise and a lot of build up, may just be a bicycle-riding cat hero (*please note that this will be strictly up to Picnic Jeeves). She has just the right palate for it too, disregarding all the usual cat treats preferring Brie cheese and prosciutto, both picnic staples!

Pish tosh xx Oh and In being the nutters we are,of course Picnic Jeeves has her own Facebook page. Like her here... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Picnic-Jeeves/229616970428153
