The Ricker walks his cats.

Yessir, I've mentioned it before, but he walks his cats. After losing two cats to "foxes," the current cats are indoor-only (except when he takes them outside and ties them to a tree with 30 feet of string). I don't think he walks them at home much, but now that he's taking the cats travelling, watch out.

To prep the cats for the drive from Colorado to Arizona over Thanksgiving, he started taking them on errands with him. I can just picture the Ricker, at the carwash, walking two cats through the cashier line and then out onto the drive to get into the car. On the unintentional comedy scale, this rates pretty high.

What happened in Arizona during Thanksgiving, however, may have been funnier. The cats were so freaked out by their new surroundings at the hotel that they started acting differently. One, Kubla, never left her confines under the bed. That left Khan, the curious cat, open to the Ricker's advances. He attached the leash, opened the door, and took Khan out for a nice walk around the hotel lobby--only Khan didn't want to walk. When I walked through the hotel door, I saw the Ricker across the lobby, taking his cat for a drag across the tile. I didn't get a picture, but that's a mental shot for the ages.
