It would be even funnier
…to get it a floppy wig, a bushy fake mustache and musty wool sweater and dress it up like derek hutchinson.

Only on Halloween
No
For all the reasons stated above. We live in rural Iowa and have had cats fall prey to coyotes.
However, we did have one cat that loved to kayak - but only on our pond. That was in the BSC (before solo canoe) days. He would sit on the front deck of the kayak and survey his domain as the kayak was paddled around our seven acre pond. If he was outside and we took off in kayaks without him he would get very pissed and swim out to catch up to the kayak.
Here’s one cat in a kayak

I say take all the cats you can find &…
Let them get lost on an island! OH OH!! How about Bikini Island??
That would be a great spot for them. I have a cat that roams our neighborhood & so far it has killed six birds & two rabbits out of my yard. I am going to send that cat to an island in the sky via my Remington 870 12ga shotgun.
The only question I have is:
Should I take the collar back to the owner & say I found it or should I bury it with the worthless P.O.S.?
Cats are the most worthless pets imaginable to mankind.
Paddle easy,

if you have it leash trained. Dogs have masters, cats have servants.
I like cats, but they don’t exactly come when you call.
cats, taste like…
they tell me that cats taste like chicken
The difference between dogs and cats
The dog says: “He feeds me, gives me plenty of water, and a safe dry warm place to sleep. He must be God.”
The cat says: “He feeds me, gives me plenty of water, and a safe dry warm place to sleep. I must be God.”
2 Maine Coons
We just added 2 13-week-old Maine Coon kittens to our pack along with our Newfie pup Orka.
Timely thread – Maine Coons love water, and we’re wondering if our 2 male littermates would like to go kayaking with us.
Planning to train them with walking harnesses. Will post when / if the kayaking with them comes to fruition.
cats just like
to piss you off. Can’t see bringing one anywhere. Love 'em but leave 'em alone.
hmmmm
How would your cat like to try a few rolls?
I can think of a list of reasons not to take a cat on your kayak. Personally I think a cat would be happier left home alone. It’s probably much safer too.
Shouldn’t be a problem.
Any cat will fit just fine in either hatch.
I had one that loved paddling
You definitely have to be aware of predators. My cat was good on a leash and that’s where he was unless he was in the tent or in my boat. I glued a piece of neoprene to the hull of my boat to give him something to hold onto. He knew that when I put the skirt on that rough seas were ahead and it was time to cozy up. He had all his claws and would use them to dig into the neoprene if necessary. I also recommend using a cheap or old tent that you never need to be truly waterproof. If it’s bug season, you’ll find your cat clawing up the side of the tent chasing a bug. The best way to start is with a kitten. I can’t imagine having any luck with an older cat. If you have trouble training your cat to do other things, then you probably won’t have any luck with camping. Cats are just like dogs, there are well trained ones, and absolutely crazy ones. The thing is, very few people take the time to train a cat. It was a great day when mine was finally toilet trained, as in the actual toilet, not a litter box.
cat paddling?
I would not do that! VF
Kayaking
maybe. But how the heck would you camp with one? Value the mosquito netting in your tent? I do. If you can’t leave 'em out (for the many reasons mentioned) and you can’t bring them in, what’s left? Other than leave 'em home?
My cat is always outside
My cat is good at being outside. I would not have it in the tent. On a small island the cat can have some fun exploring, won’t get lost, should come back to eat. If it gets killed by a predator on the island that would be sad but it won’t be any sadder than being killed by predator while outside during the night (which is what my cat does a lot.)
Walking a cat
I wouldn’t try to put any of our cats in a kayak, but our last Maine Coon was the best cat on a harness we’ve ever had. We could even walk him at highway rest stops, near the dog area, and he’d not bat an eye. he was also bigger than many of the dogs. He he never coordinated peeing with that timing though. We used to have to pull over when he started yelling loudly for that.
I trying to imagine
how this would be accomplished. Maybe a cat carrier bungied to the deck? You’d need a bombproof roll and can you imagine how freaked a cat would be if you did roll? It’d probably run away as soon as you hit land.

love cats & love water but do not mix
Years ago when I was married we took our Siamese with us camping. He didn’t like it, woke up the whole campground with his enormous voice.
The cats I have now would be really pissed off and terrorized to go camping with me, let alone try kayaking with one.
So they stay home, which is a good thing for them.
I should have stayed home myself yesterday.
