camping with your cat?

[Logan]

I can't condone it because I had a horrible tragedy in 1989, taking my precious Shrimp Boat camping with us so that she wouldn't have to stay at home. I did everything wrong. We didn't do "crates" back then or cat carriers, nor did we do harnesses. She was an indoor only cat and I transferred her from the car to the camper while we unloaded. It was pitch black dark outside. She shot out the door at one point, never to be seen again. It is painful to think about to this very day. Leaving that campground, 3 days later, was the hardest thing I ever had to do. We exhausted ourselves, asking everyone in site, offering rewards. Shrimp Boat had a collar and tags with our name and address and phone number on it. We never heard a single word about her again.

Please leave your kitty at home. You would never forgive yourself if something happened. I never have forgiven myself.
