Just when you thought you knew all there was to know about
cats comes the ultimate—and unexpected—guide to taking your
cat into the wild. Here are cats walking on a leash. Cats
hiking on a leash. Cats tramping through snow. Cats
camping. Cats kayaking, canoeing, even surfing—yes, cats who
love water.
When animal writer and active hiker
Laura Moss couldn’t find an online resource for hitting the
trail with her cat, she created one. AdventureCats.org took
off like wildfire, with attention from Wired, the
Huffington Post, Outside magazine,
BuzzFeed, and much more. Now, the book Adventure
Cats—a collection of jaw-dropping photographs, inspiring
stories of real-life cats, and all the how-to a cat owner
needs—will take readers and their cats well beyond the
backyard. Learn how to leash-train a cat. What to do if you
encounter wildlife on the trail. Plus, winter safety tips,
and how to bring a little bit of the outdoors to an indoor
cat.
The stories themselves are catnip for animal
lovers, from Nanakuli, the one-eyed cat who hangs ten; to
Georgie, a four-year-old gray tabby who lives on a sailboat;
to Quandary, who not only insists on hiking with her family
but also teaches them a valuable lesson: When you follow
your cat’s natural tendency to wander, you experience the
outdoors at a slower, richer pace. This book will delight
every cat person, regardless of whether their pet is
inclined to adventure. (Take the quiz at the beginning of
the book to find out!)
