Fact: Cats don’t socialize the way dogs do. Which means cat people don’t have social outlets like obedience classes and off-leash parks where they can share stories about their furry children, find out who the best vet and/or pet-sitter in the area is, and lots of other useful things. This Meetup group is looking to change that. If you are an aficionado of the feline, rather than the canine, version of a family pet – and especially if you are owned by more than one cat – this is the place to get …

Let's socialize the dogs and socialize ourselves while we enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise!  We aren't discriminating here, let's bring dogs of all sizes! ;) I'm …
