INSTAPOLL

I’ve been slacking off on this blog, but I have been seriously lacking inspiration recently. And that hasn’t changed.

But people still visit the site, so I might as well put that to good use.

My cat Gus is partially an outdoor cat, but I am afraid to just let him run wild lest someone thinks he is a stray and take him away. So I’d like to brand him in some way. The traditional method for branding a domesticated house pet is a collar, but he’s already gone through two collars, and Gus simply will not take to them. He’ll wear it for a day or two, and then sneak away and take it off and bury it or something, and I’ll never see it again.

So I am wondering if it would be just entirely inhumane to make him wear a harness. For a demonstration of a cat harness, click here. Cat harnesses are designed to walk a cat, but I am neither foolish nor sadistic enough to actually try to walk Gus. Rather, I am starting to think that making Gus wear a harness is the only way I can ensure that a collar will stay on.

Does this make me a horrible, evil person?
