Hiking & Canoeing with Kylo Ren, Adventure Cat

April 3, 2017 38 Comments

With Spring finally here and my new GoPro camera in hand, we decided that we would take Kylo Ren out for an exciting adventure. We went canoeing! Sophie has been canoeing before, but Kylo had never been. He has turned out to be quite the Adventure Cat, so we had no doubts that he would enjoy a canoe trip. We were right – he LOVED it!

Before heading off Saturday morning, we loaded up the car with all of the essentials – harness + leash, life vest, treats, water + water bowl, towels, and Sleepypod carrier – then we hit the road to Amerson River Park! This park is by far one of the best local parks we have. It is located beside the Ocmulgee River and has many overlooks and viewpoints, paved pathways for walkers, dirt trails and paths for bikers and hikers, places to put canoes and kayaks in and out, and more.

Along the way, we parked the canoe on the river bank a couple of times and got out to explore a bit. We let Kylo Ren lead the way! He never steered us wrong.

As we neared the hottest parts of the day, Kylo needed a break from the sun and heat. It’s a good thing we packed all of the supplies to build a Kylo Ren Canoe Fort – a Sleepypod carrier and towels!

I put Kylo’s Sleepypod at my feet and placed a towel over it, which created a nice cool and shady place for him to hang out. He was able to come and go as he pleased, alternating between my lap and his fort.

We all enjoyed a wonderful day together and look forward to our next canoe trip! Perhaps next time we will bring Kylo Ren and Sophie both! 😀

    I SOOOOOOO wish you could see my face to see HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS VIDEO (and the entire post!) Kylo Ren is in total BLISS!!! I also LOVE your leash and the heavy clasp to his collar (and his collar!) It reminded me of when I used to take my Angel Bobo out on a leash (he LOVED it!)…and I would take him to the woods. I NEVER trusted a harness (they are NOT secure)…..and I used something similar to what you used. Kylo Ren was loving EVERY minute and I love how he walked and just seemed to be in total bliss!!! FABULOUS POST! xoxo

    Wow, what a fun adventure! Kylo Ren (Sophie, too, of course!) is such a lucky kitty to get to explore the world! Looks like he is really comfortable outside and enjoying himself 🙂 He is a very adventurous kitty. Goro is fine in the park but he may freak out on open water. Loved the video very much! I look forward to seeing where the adventure team will explore next 🙂

    I love adventuring cats. I suspect many more cats would like to travel with their people if only they started out young.

    I’ve kayaked with my dogs. But it would have been much easier if they were cat sized. 🙂

    This is a really happy post. Thank you.

    Kylo Ren seems so calm on this little outing. I wish I had worked with the girls with a harness and leash. Maybe now that I’m retired…

    Awww. I love this. Kylo Ren is a natural. So comfortable out on the way. I could never pull that off when my kitties were alive. What a nice adventure. Go Pro footage is great too. I will have to revisit and follow your adventures!

    I”m not even sure I could get my doxies on a canoe and your adventure cat also had a fort! What a day you all had – cats love being out and about so they idea that you all embrace this is really fabulous. LOVED the video too.

    Kylo is such a little trail blazer! He’s so beautiful, and that vest he wears in the canoe is so adorable on him. Great video.

    Honestly I would never have thought to take a cat canoeing let alone two! It does look like he enjoyed himself though. I wonder if any one saw you I bet they did a double take when they saw you with a cat on a leash or in a canoe! Love Dolly
