Isn’t it bad luck to bring a Black Cat?

On a boat... yep. But that's just superstition...

This is gonna be a tough one! "Black Cat In A Canoe"?

I think it might be as bad as a banana!!

If anyone can do it, you can!

The person who posted that in View From My Canoe has now posted some info about the cat on canoe trips. Parallels them on portages through the woods. Wanders around while they set up camp and then another picture of the cat in her lap while cooking dinner.

Amazing cat.

I wonder what the red squirrels think of that guy around...?

Hah! I have to show that to my daughter and see if she wants to bring our little black/white cat "Barley" on our next adventure :)

Latest comment from the owner is that she started taking the cat into the woods the day she picked it up as a kitten. Not something I’m trying with our adult housecats.

I think Weird Al Yankovic should cover this one. Maybe to the tune of Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle".

And the cat's on the paddle and the Lake Trout spoon
No litter box find a sand beach soon
When we going home, dad?
When we're at Trails End
I'll give you to a Cat Lady then
You know you'll never canoe again

Zulu! You missed your calling! Weird Al would be proud.

One time a buddy and I were fishing a little hole on the Kettle River by Rutledge, MN, from the canoe. There was a cat up on shore who was meowing at us to come and get it; it was pretty obvious and funny as hell. So we did, and the cat walked around on the gunnels the rest of the afternoon and tried to eat our minnows. It was fun.

Growing up as a kid we had many wild animals living with us.
One was a pet skunk (descented).

I remember at least one time we took it canoeing with us down the Zumbro River in Southern MN, that skunk would also ride on the bow of our canoe.

Only one reason to bring a cat. Back up food supply.

Ok, if you want to eat the mice they catch, go for it.
