It's really funny and sweet... Cats don't follow a person like dogs do... They follow in their own way, pretending like they're not following you at all But if you hang a right when they expected you to go left, it's really funny to see them scamper after you to keep up!! BTW--i live out in the country--don't try to take your kitties on a walk if you live in the city!!
My cat follows me everywhere. He comes everytime I call him, and when I go on walks around the neighborhood he follows me and runs to keep up....... I think he thinks he is a dog, he even growls when someone knocks at the door, and just the other day he chased a jack russel terrior down the street........
One of my cats thinks she's a dog too. She comes when you call her, and she also has almost made me break my neck many times when I go down the steps. She runs ahead of me suddenly when I go down the staircase, but I don't think she means to kill me, just that she likes to run along beside me. Crazy cat!! I love her though, but cats are crazy in general. My other cat is a whiner (male ). but they get along great. I wouldn't trade them for anything, but they make me crazy too. I never know what they're really thinking.....hmmmm.....
