Over the past year, I've viewed several YouTube videos of paddling cats. A really entertaining and sweet film can be found at DITL: Solo van life with 2 cats. In this episode, the twosome (from Canada) seem to be in a solo canoe.
After thinking about this, would you ever consider a feline as a canoe partner,? At first, I thought: hmm, impossible! Then I listened to a cat owner discuss training their cat to hike with them in open top back/ front packs, then transitioning to canoe/ kayak. So, I'm on the fence now...
What feline per/purrsonality traits are necessary to become a "paddling companion"? Some quite obvious attributes: calm demeanor, somewhat fearless, leash and other training, very attached to her human, at ease with being in your/her canoe.
Personally, I would be fearful of my cat getting spooked, and jumping into the pond...
