- Now that we are into our fifth season of having our first cat with us on our boat - as well as our newest kitten also along for the adventure - I've received dozens of questions form folks who are doing the same. So, here's how we do it on Boogaboo and I love having those guys along with us!
Here's a link to my video that looks at the heartbreaking story that led us to deciding why we first brought my Little Tiny Krona with us for the first time, way back in 2020; • Newest Member of The B...

Happy Boating :-)
Trying to get my wife to agree to bring our cats this video should help help
Mocha is such a cute little guy and it looks like he'll be a good little boater.
Yes, he is fitting in nicely! ☺️
oh my gosh i laughed when the engine turned on and Mocha scrammed inside😸 sweet little cats. i love that he has a hiding spot already. so important for cats
It is, and Little Tiny found his hiding spot a long time ago. Mocha is part worm I think, as he has a tendency to work his way into the most difficult spits imaginable - even at home 😅
We have been introducing our Kitten to the boat ( she is 4 months) she gets along good even ok with the engines and running. The one thing that freaked her out a bit was dropping the anchor - the sound of the chain made her hide for a bit. All in all I think she is a great addition to the Dajinka crew.
Our two also get scared if there's sudden loud noises that they're not yet used to, but in time they'll figure it out.
Glad to know that you are making progress with your newest crewmember!
We bring our cat along every time we go to the boat. She was on her first trip at 8 weeks old and has really taken to boat life!
She has a surfer cat life jacket she wears when conditions warrant it.
Love to see kitties on the water!
We're quite surprised to learn how many folks have their kitties on the boat with them! In fact, we have discovered a number of our fellow boaters at the new marina who also have Kats on-board 😸
Awesome video love the kittys😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I'm sure they'll have a great time on boogaboo! 🐱😍
They're loving it
See I had friends who had a sailing cat for 15 years and she loved it.
They had a 37 ft sloop they sailed the islands central America through the Panama canal all they had to do was start gathering up their gear to start their trip and the cat would run down the dock and jump on the bost ready to go
I think it must have something to do with them being closer to the outdoors when on a boat.
I've got two Cats on my boat! 😉
Well, it's a good thing you got a larger boat to handle them 😁
Hi we are. Full time on our boat we have e 2 Ragdoll cats … like you we prepare the cats prior to starting the engines . We pop them in their baskets on our bed close the door pop music on it helps 😂
Full time on the boat with two kitties. Sounds like a slice of heaven to me 😊
Are your cats declawed
No issues yet!
