What to say when people aren't nice to you about catexploring, with Amanda Semenoff

Majority of the interactions we have about catexploring are positive. People are happy to see us, they're curious about how to train their cat & sometimes they're just so excited to see a cat out and about. But there are those not so great moments. Like when we encounter an off leash dog whose owner may not be keen to leash their dog, or someone says a snide comment to us or when people don't listen to our wishes when interacting with our cat while we're out and about. On this episode we chat about all those not so great scenarios and what to say when they happen.
