Truck Camping With Cats

Cat farts rate right up there with dog farts. They both stink...lol

:E :E You must be speaking of some other cats! Our two dainty girls would NEVER do such a thing!

Bwahahaha!!!! I couldn't even keep a straight face after saying that.

As mentioned earlier, Selina was a less than two-week old orphan when we got her. We were just supposed to "foster" her till she could be adopted. We failed. You invest a lot emotionally when you hand raise a kitten or puppy that was orphaned before it was weaned. We had the "fun" of bottle feeding, introducing her to solid food, litter box training, and helping to teach her the pecking order in our little pack. Even though she now weighs twice as much as Kahlua, she is the #2 cat and must behave accordingly. Fortunately, they grow and learn very fast.

:B Gads, that's priceless!!! :B

That's actually one of my biggest fears; having one of the cats get loose in unfamiliar territory. We've come close a few times, but so far haven't had the worst happen yet (knock on wood). Those little doors that give you access to the pickup bed in non-basement TC's can be an escape route for cats if you're careless about making sure they're latched properly. I've tried to get them used to NOT jumping out of the truck cab as soon as a door is opened. They both do pretty well about staying put when I stop for fuel, and I make a habit of checking where they are before opening the camper door. I'm not sure if any cat could resist the urge to chase a rabbit though.
