monkey5sYesterday I was sitting in the car, petting Dash before I got out of the car. There was a family group traveling along the sidewalk, mom pushing the baby in a stroller, two more kids who looked like around 4 and 6 years old. The sidewalk runs in front of my house, not down the side street where my driveway is. The kids saw the big orange cat, and he saw them. And started walking up the street towards them as they walked down the street towards him. I told the mom that he likes kids, and it was OK to pet him, he liked skritches on top of his head best.
There was a car coming down the street beside my house (the one with no sidewalk), it was still a block away but in motion. Dash started marching past the kids in the street, and they trailed along after him. He went up the steps at the corner so he was on the sidewalk with mom and the stroller. I heard her say to the kids that she didn't know why he did that, so I had to tell her that he wanted the kids out of the street because there was a car coming.
He knows what's right. No little ones in the street when there's traffic coming. He really is a marvelous cat.
