Truck Camping With Cats
We're out in the TC mixing work and play. We've got our two cats with us; Kahlua, a brown 15 year old "senior cat", and Selina, a tortoise-shell who is technically still a kitten since she's only 11 months old. Kahlua has always been a very small cat. She might have weighed 6.5 lbs when she was in her prime, but now tips the scales at about 5 lbs. Selina came to us as a two-week old orphan that only weighed 6 oz's, and needed to be bottle fed.
This was her first taste of solid food.
She is now a full 10 lbs, and appears to have leveled off.
We had a little bed strapped to the center console that they would ride in, but as Selina grew, she was finding it harder and harder to stay within its bounds.
The boss recently bought a bigger bed, and I got it strapped to the console just before we left on this trip.
Selina appreciates the extra room.
The cats get along OK, for the most part. Selina wants to play more than Kahlua wants to, so we let them interact as much as possible but occasionally have to separate them just to give Kahlua some peace. Here's one of their good moments. It took a little encouragement from the boss for Kahlua to go along.
Being older, Kahlua likes to sleep even more than cats usually do. Selina gets impatient with her, and tries to stir things up a bit.
"Hey, whatcha doin Kahlua?"
"Are ya sleepin???"
"Yes I'm sleeping! Leave me alone you pest!"
Selina takes it all in stride though, and lets the boss take her out for a little leash training.
Our camp spot for the night.
