Would I get docked for adding “Cat walking” on my resume

For context, I attend a target school, have a high gpa, internships and other “real”interests on my resume. I have space on my interest line for one more thing and I was wondering if I could put “cat walking” on it.

So I adopted my cat as a kitten while visiting another country and because he grew up outdoors, he enjoys going on walks now. I put his leash on and walk him everyday for a solid half hour. I was joking about putting it on my resume with a friend but now that I think of it, what if I actually did. I feel like it would either be overlooked and won’t cause any harm or would be a funny conversation starter. Thoughts?

 

I am all for the interesting resume things, but this makes me think of a fashion catwalk, like you're into that in some way? I guarantee you 90% of people will not understand that you are actually walking your cat (which by the way, is hilarious) and just be confused/not ask about it

I personally would not do it just because it could be misconstrued in a weird way and could potentially be an item of confusion/general wtf if your resume is otherwise a 10.. not sure if anyone else reads it that way too 

to be clear the cat thing is funny I just wonder if it could be phrased in a clearer way. even just "cats" and if someone has/likes cats they can ask about it and you shock and amaze with this funny, memorable story.

Used to hook up (I say this lightly as every time we met I’d get so shitfaced my dick wouldn’t work and I’d pass out at her place) with this chick who used to walk her cat. She could do a split and was hot but her personality was entirely white claws and yoga. 7/10 would make her pay for my dinner at casino night then eat her roommate’s Ben & Jerry’s at 3am while she (the roommate) tries to get me to have a threesome with her date for the night

 

I’ll take $500 for “Things that Never Happened” Alex.
