A day out for Sparty-Pants, and Late-night hunger attack!!

Today I went to Petsmart. I looked at all the cute dogs and cats.
Then, I got a cat leash and harness.
And I took my cat outside.
I know. It sounds super dumb. And I'm sure I looked dumb too. But whatev.
He can't be an outside cat because there is busy traffic nearby (other cats that I've
had have been outdoor cats), but I just wanted to see if he would do it....
It was a pain to get the harness on (I left the tags on in case he decided he didn't like
the whole idea).
He wasn't too excited about it, and was a bit scared to venture from the steps:

Once he did, he decided to have a tantrum. He did not like the harness at all.
("Woman! Why do you insist on making me wear this!!!?")

Then he got over it.
He went back on the steps and found a daddy-long-legs. He enjoyed the chase.

He decided to go a bit farther...
(do you see why his middle name is Longshanks?)

He got brave and ventured through the grass...

He came across sticks. He wasn't sure about them.

So he came back closer to the house, and decided to head into the jungle...

He heard a noise by the fence. He soon found out what was making the noise on the other
side of the fence. (It was a dog.) (Notice Sparty's tail...)

.................................
Last night I made this well planned dinner when my brother-in-law and his girlfriend came over.
I don't know what to call it... chicken breast stuffed with fresh mozzarella and basil leaves, on top of
linguine, all with creamy garlic sauce. And a bowl of organic raspberries on the side(Am.az.ing).
And cranberry oat cookies for dessert (which don't sound good, but they were extremely tasty...
I didn't make those... wish I knew how to though!).

Tonight I am editing photos and I just want simple mac & cheese.
I don't have any.
So, I'm going to go buy some at the convenience store.
At 10pm.
They better have it!

Did you just post those pictures up of your cat? I don't remember them the last time I posted so I thought it was a new post (not looking at the date of course)...Anyway, the "storybook" feel was the perfect touch--definitely made me laugh! :)

Yeah, I was posting them while you commented the last time, I think!
Sparty makes me laugh often.
He's a good calorie burner, ha!

I think I have the kitten version of your cat. Too cute. I have a cat with the little white paws and the strips just like that. Now I know what it will look like large. Aren't they fun.
