hiking with cats-

From: Brian (riversol@yahoo.com) | Date: 2004-04-09 17:27:05 UTC
Hey that sounds like a great idea! Did you have to train your cat at
all? Was it an outdoor cat? Any special tips?

I'm thinking of getting a cat and I want to make a backpack cat out
of it!

very cool. i had a cat a long time ago that would have been a great
hiking cat. when you get your cat or kitten, make sure that he/she
has a laid back personality.

i'm interested in hearing more about Boston, the hiking cat...but
realize that this would be an off topic subject....
