Thanks for all the comments! And yes I do think the comment was generated from not really being able to see the dog, just being a friendly neighbor. We do not have anyone that I know of who walks their cat on a leash but the outdoor cats don't live too long as we have coyotes and other wild things, I'm afraid dogs too, that will hunt them. That's part of the reason Sprocket is NEVER allowed out by himself. Even in our back yard, which is enclosed, I watch him. Opossums are big and the TEETH OMG, Opossums they are sure bigger than my dog or any cat and fierce, stupid dog wouldn't leave the stinky old thing alone anyway, just another toy!

Now I tease Sprocket, here Kitty Kitty, I think he rolls his eyes, but he comes to me.
