Today was a very special day because we took my cat Colita to the park for the first time!

For a while now, my girlfriend and I have been "training" (or getting used to) my cat to be able to go outside without getting scared so that we can walk him under our supervision since we live in a residential area where many people and cars pass by daily. Therefore, if we want him to go outside, he must be accompanied...

So, I'll start by telling you about today:

First, we took my cat Colita to the place where we always take him, to his favorite tree, so that he could relax in a familiar environment, since it was daytime there were many people and cars and he was a little nervous...

When we saw that Colita had relaxed and was calm, we decided to continue walking to the park. It is important to note that the park is located right in front of our residence, so we were very, very close to home, less than 100 meters away and if Colita got nervous we could quickly return...

I carried him in my arms the whole way so he would feel safe, and when we arrived at the park we looked for a shady spot under the trees and I put him down on the ground so he could smell around. Colita was super surprised and didn't understand anything at all, haha! He sat there for a few minutes and smelled everything without moving. We gave him his time, and after a few minutes he started walking on his own and wanting to smell everything!

For his first time at the park, I was incredibly surprised at how well Colita behaved. He was super curious and wanted to walk around everywhere smelling everything!

At one point during our walk in the park, Colita approached me for some reason, and when I bent down to pet him, he got under my feet as if he were scared... at that moment, we decided it was time to head back home. We had to make his first time at the park short and enjoyable so that Colita would want to come back next time!

We took a couple of photos together at that moment to cherish as memories and headed back home!!

Upon arriving home, my girlfriend gave Colita a snack as a reward to reinforce the positive experience of the walk, and Colita loved it! Look at that baby face:

And that's how Colita's first walk to the park ended. To achieve these things, it's very important to go slowly, with a lot of patience, always trying to make the experience positive for our pets.

Today, Colita loves going for walks. Every night at the same time (10 pm), he starts meowing at the door so we can take him out for a walk, and he goes very happily!

I hope you enjoyed Colita's adventure
