A Durbanville cat surely thinks he is the cat\u2019s meow (or whiskers?) when he and his cat lover owner visit coffee shops in Durbanville and Tyger Valley area \u2013 turning heads having a coffee and a special frothy \u201ccattuccino\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levi, a two-and-a-half-year-old lilac burmese cat with a long pedigree of ancestors from Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, belongs to Elida Keyser from Durbanville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes a lot of patience to train a cat to walk on a leash, she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She started out by putting his little harness on whenever \u201cnice things\u201d happened, like feeding or playing, and left it on the floor for him to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe took to it almost immediately. After a while I started to let him explore a little while I held onto the leash. Slowly I started to nudge him to rather \u2018follow\u2019 me. But, a cat is a cat and not a dog \u2013 cats will only do what they like and won\u2019t be forced!\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chilled kitty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

She has also taught Levi to sit on command when on the leash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI did it without treats. I started by taking him with me and sitting at Ou Meul Bakery and Caf\u00e9 at Willowbridge or a coffee shop at Village Square in Durbanville to just watch the world go by,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He loves his special \u201ccattuccino\u201d, which is mainly milk with froth. Although it is not good for cats to drink milk, it is a once-a-week treat only, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe birds at Ou Meul hate him and would try kamikaze fly-bys that he does not appreciate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is a very chilled kitty. He stands up against me when he needs to do his business and then I take him to the grass behind the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe walks on his leash to where my car is parked and jumps in when I open the door,\u201d Keyser says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am always very respectful of the other people at a coffee shop and only sit with Levi outside. I always ask the staff whether they are fine with it and also the people sitting close to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople will remark that they have not seen this before. The reactions I receive are overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople want to take pictures and often approach me and a conversation will start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChildren are very curious and I allow them to pet him under my supervision and with guidance. I have met many cat and pet lovers this way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is well-known at the Willowbridge slow market and many of the vendors greet him by name. He also visits the book store and they babysit him behind the counter when I need to enter a shop where he is not allowed (mostly where food is sold),\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Levi is not a scaredy-cat at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMostly he is okay, because I exposed him to noise like cars, trolleys and people from a very early age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is, however, still very scared of people in wheelchairs and cleaning trolleys. Whenever a person comes to the restaurant with a big dog, I watch him carefully and will pick him up onto my lap or shoulder when he gets agitated.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cat lover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

She bought him from Burlamien, a breeder of burmese cats in Caledon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBurmese cats are muscled by nature and thus unexpectedly heavy \u2013 also known as a brick covered in silk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLevi does not walk softly like other cats \u2013 you can always hear him enter a room, even on carpet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have been a cat lover all my life. Currently, he is one of three cats in our household \u2013 the other two are rescues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have also previously had a maine coon, Pilchard, and a ragdoll cat, Poplap, which was leash-trained as well. I am always just one cat short of a crazy cat lady,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince I have done it before, I decided to leash-train him as well. I did this for me, myself and I as it gives me great joy to be so bonded with my best boy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not all of Levis\u2019 strange cat behaviour . . . in summer Levi also goes into the pool with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
