Has anyone ever gone sailing with a cat on a cat? I'm talking of a real feline pet kind of cat. All sorts of visions come into my head about this potential experience.

Cat on a cat, are you sure you haven't been reading Dr. Seuss while drinking?
I'd be too concerned for the animal's safety. What happens when you capsize? On a cruising catamaran, maybe, but I certainly wouldn't consider taking mine along on a beach cat.

Cats LOVE THE WATER... it should be fine!
If the cat has claws, i would consider wearing scratch proof pants, jacket and a catcher’s mask. if the cat doesn’t have claws... i would consider how you are going to explain the cat's death (sliding off the boat) to your wife...

I think you would be the inventer of the "Cat Bob" to replace the "Hobie Bob". The only problem would be to get the "Cat Bob" off the top of the mast before you drop it while rigging down.
I have 2 cats (make that 4), so let me know how that works for ya! And remember, pics or it never happened.

Or durring a capsize, you could re-invent the Cat-a-pult
