Bunch of fine looking cats in this thread. Funny how some cats love to travel.
No Bays to show with my cats, but these two girls have lived here in the shop since 2003 when Blanche showed up hungry and pregnant. No one wanted her and the wife and I had a 15 lb alpha male at home who would have killed her (you cant see in the photo, but Blanche is tiny coming in at only 6lbs.) so I made a space for her and when the babies came I found homes for 3 (everyone wants a kitten!) and kept Blossom so Blanche would have company.
They spend most of their time on the catio out back, but in the winter they are always in the office. Usually on the couch. Though sometimes they take over my chair won't relinquish till they get snacks.
It's safe to say that pretty much every pair of heads we've shipped over the past fifteen years have gone out in cardboard boxes these two have sat in and rubbed their cheeks on.

mcdonaldneal - Thank you so much! We hope our videos inspire more people to bring their furry friends along with them on their adventures. It just wouldn't have been the same without them!

It's great to see so many cats enjoying the bus life!
The two of us and our dog headed out of South Carolina, on a cross country road trip in 2017. We didn't make it very far, before a tiny little cat decided to jump on board! He was around 8 weeks old and very malnourished, but as we headed West, he grew stronger and stronger. He grew up in our bus and now, he's captain of the ship!
Meet Scotia, also know as Squish, Squishy or Squishy Cat. He's traveled with us, in our 1978 VW bus, for over a year, from Louisiana to California and on. The bus is home to Squish. He asks us to pop the top when we're parked and his favorite spot to sit, while we travel, is on the dash. He even makes us roll down the window, so he can stick his head out, while we're driving!
See more of Squish in our final cross country travel video, where we make it to California and up the West Coast!:

Yes, I know, not a canine co-pilot, but I think within the spirit of the thread!
Our much missed kitty Spit, loved travelling with us in her big cat carrier! (Her brother Polish was much less keen)!
Can't get much more relaxed than this!
Road trip, with harness, just in case!
Sightseeing in Europe...
Ferry queue:
Sadly Spit and Polish have passed on now (sad face), but our new arrival, Medo, seems just as relaxed in the van!
I know, unrestrained pet in a moving vehicle, blah, blah, blah |

That's a cute cat!!
I was diagnosing some distributor issues a week or so ago, and my cat MrManHamilton jumped on the bumper and peeked into the engine bay with me. I was concentrating on my points and didn't see her at first, her whiskers brushed my arm and I thought it was a wasp!! Smacked my head pretty hard on the ceiling of my engine comparment
Cats and bays are two great things |
This cat Missy got me good too. While I was working on the front brakes, kneeling with my head in the wheel well she used my back as a spring board to get in the open window. It took me by suprise and I cracked my head good on the top of the wheel well.
Here's another pic of her.
