Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2003cats on boats
I like cats but have refrained from adopting one because I am often away sailing. But I have recently been offered a young cat (8 months) who will get sent to the cat's home in the next few days unless it finds a home. Will I be offering it a happy home if I take it? I have a nice quiet house with garden away from roads in south of France where he/she would live most of the year, but since I go sailing around the Med most of the summer he/she would need to come with me then since I rent my house in the summer.

Will >a >> young ca adapt readily to life on a boat and the changes in home? My parents-in-law had a cat who *loved* fishing *in a bass boat*. He couldn't wait to go when he realized the boat was about to go out. Also, my daughter's cat is so well socialized he goes everywhere with her, any store that allows cats, she takes him. Both cats were socialized and taken out from the time they were very small. I agree it's pretty unusual behavior for a cat, but they can be amazingly adaptable, if you start when they're young.

We accquired a cute little kitty a week before we left on a months cruise on our sailboat. She was about seven weeks old when we left. She adapted well and after two weeks, it was her boat.

We also have an RV and I think that she prefers the land travel to the boat, but she seems just as happy to be where her water and food dish are located whether at home, on the water, or traveling down the highway. Leanne Forget the cat and adopt me!! I'll even meow sometimes.... hahaha > I like cats but have refrained from adopting one because I am often away > sailing.

I think if you purred most of the time that the chances of you being adopted would be better. :c) > Forget the cat and adopt me!! > I'll even meow sometimes....
