I had a scare this morning when I took Raiden out for his walk. He walks 10 feet in front of me and he spotted the black and white cat as I was coming down the steps of the deck. Raiden bolted and the leash came right out of my hand. He disappeared around the corner of the house and I was terrified he was running down the street chasing this other cat. I screamed out his name at the top of my lungs and turned the corner. There he was laying in the grass. I told him to "stay, stay, stay" as I walked calmly up to him and he just stayed there so I could grab the leash! I would much prefer to have my backyard totally enclosed even at the top so I could just put him out there and not worry about him. His enclosure is large, but still limits his area to roam around. The whole walking thing with another cat 6" from us is terrifying me and Raiden hates the other cat. Still not going to do an electric fence, but I'm going to have to figure something else out. I'm working on getting rid of the other cat, but that will just bring in more cats.
