Adventure Cats
Adventure Cats: Living Nine Lives to the Fullest | Laura Moss
131 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
Just when you thought you knew all there was to know about cats comes the ultimate and unexpected guide to taking your cat into the wild. Here are cats walking on a leash. Cats hiking on a leash. Cats tramping through snow. Cats camping. Cats kayaking, canoeing, even surfing yes, cats who love water. When animal writer and active hiker Laura Moss couldn t find an online resource for hitting the trail with her cat, she created one. AdventureCats.org took off like wildfire, with attention from Wired, the Huffington Post, Outside magazine, BuzzFeed, and much more. Now, the book Adventure Cats a collection of jaw-dropping photographs, inspiring stories of real-life cats, and all the how-to a cat owner needs will take readers and their cats well beyond the backyard. Learn how to leash-train a cat. What to do if you encounter wildlife on the trail. Plus, winter safety tips, and how to bring a little bit of the outdoors to an indoor cat. The stories themselves are catnip for animal lovers, from Nanakuli, the one-eyed cat who hangs ten; to Georgie, a four-year-old gray tabby who lives on a sailboat; to Quandary, who not only insists on hiking with her family but also teaches them a valuable lesson: When you follow your cat s natural tendency to wander, you experience the outdoors at a slower, richer pace. This book will delight every cat person, regardless of whether their pet is inclined to adventure. (Take the quiz at the beginning of the book to find out!) "

She‘s so sneaky. #HelloKitty went from using the top of my pen as a head massager, to playing the “knock the pen on the floor” game repeatedly, to laying down on my entire notebook when I went to pick up the pen for the 10 millionth time. Little stinker. 😼

So much for taking notes while I read.

In a half hour I‘ve felt like I lost an hour and a half. (Stupid time change 😒). That‘s basically me looking at the unchanged microwave clock and then looking at my phone a half hour later. But my cat loves me at least. She‘s a parrot today.

We‘re really bummed that #Isabel can‘t come home yet. Her creatinine is elevated, so they want to keep giving her fluids for a 2nd night.

Hopefully tomorrow she‘ll be out of the woods and she can come home.

We did get to visit with her! (Pics bottom left and top right). She was super lovey, but did want to bite that catheter off of her leg for the short time she was without a cone.

Please send good vibes overnight for recovery!
