Matt-boy
I probably had the happiest Sunday in my life ever this weekend! I spent an afternoon in the mall with my pet cat Matthias.
1 month after he was neutered, my sister and I decided to see to if it would be possible to walk him in a park. We bought him a pet harness last week so we've been training him to walk on a leash. Then yesterday, we put him in his pet carrier, hailed a taxi and went to Makati. First we went to Paseo Center. Unfortunately, since this weekend is a major holiday, that place was completely closed. So we crossed over and tried to make him walk near the park behind the Makati Stock Exchange. However, I think the cars passing by made him a little nervous he preferred to be carried. After 30 minutes of trying to let him walk, it was clear he wasn't interested to so we decided to go to Greenbelt 2. We sat outside of Bizu and had dessert while letting Matt-boy explore the plants. After finishing the cake, my sister and I decided to walk in Greenbelt Park and let Matt-boy run on the grass. He was sort of wary of the place because there were so many people around, but I think all in all he had fun. At 5 PM, we had an appointment so had to walk over to Max Brenner. Matt-boy being the spoiled brat like all my cats are, he demanded to be carried. I guess for the first time in my life, I understood how mothers feel when they carry their child around. They would always think their child is the prettiest human being ever born. Every time someone would point out and say how big my cat was, I would be really proud. Plus, I didn't care whether people thought I was crazy or not carrying a cat around the mall area.
We ended the day by having early dinner at Max Brenner. He just sat on my lap peacefully while we watched people and cars pass by. I even ran into an ex-colleague of mine and he remarked how touching the sight was of me taking care of my cat, especially when he found out that Matt-boy is really a cat I just picked off from the street. Anyway, this isn't the last time I'll be taking Matt-boy out for a walk. Maybe 2 weeks from now, we'll bring him to Eastwood.
