Kayaking with Solomon

Thank you. Being black, he is not always the easiest subject.

Perfect coloring for this awesome shot, however!

Beautiful shot Shelagh, I’m gonna favourite this!
Why dont you put him in my Rescued Pets group?

Thank you Mark. I am still new to redbubble and finding my way around.

Wow! I love this one…instant fav

You (and he) are so lucky. I can’t even persuade my lab that canoeing is a great thing so for Solomon to enjoy kayaking…. You lucky pair.

We have one. I hand reared her from about 2 weeks old but she is still very wild at 7 years old. No chance of getting her anywhere near the boat, we had to get the poor wee soul sedated to get a collar on. It lasted 2 weeks and that was that. Decided against another collar.

brilliant shot and love the colour coordination going with her lead and your lovely kayak against the oh so blue river water! gorgeous capture ;))

Beautiful cat, beautiful shot! My Noodle looks just like Solomon, same profile, same shiny coat, similar personality. Noodle is a rescue,too. I wonder what breed these cats are,...Oriental shorthair?? The seem to be very vocal, people-oriented, loving and funny cats. I found another one in a shelter, I am not sure though if I could handle two such active cats, though…

Oh this is awesome!!!! What a great capture!

That’s an awesome shot! I take my kitty hiking and camping all the time! She’s done some ocean kayaking too. Cats are awesome!

this is an amazing shot …cats generally dont like water first of all and then to go in a boat lol too cool !

This cat is really a person, very opinionated and definitely found the one that he should be with, there are no accidents! Great shot!

A wonderful picture – so unique. It is very hard to do justice to a black cat, but I love how you have caught his expression here.

Oh dear – I hope he accidentally jumped in after some fish??? Have you seen a breed called Bombay? Very sleek fur, asian body type and golden eyes – your Solomon may be similar…

Great shot! A black cat in a boat is a one-of-a-kind!

What a fabulous shot of him, so glad you friend found him. Also its great he love water, which is rare in most cats :)

aww what a beautiful story and the shot is fantastic, wonderful work!!!

Phenomenal shot!I have an alike beautiful black cat also ;o)

So calming, he looks like a wonderful companion. :)

Thank you, he is a real love and a great companion. Unless I do not take him out twice a day. Then he shreds my house!

cool cat… :)

What a wonderful image – and a great Cat!

He’s gorgeous!

He reminds me of my gray kitty, who was found by our trash can. I am not sure what kind of cat he is, but he is the most affectionate cat we have ever had and social. Talks to us, and loves to be held. I can walk around holding him, and he will clean himself. I kayak, but have never thought of bringing him a long. I guess I would be afraid he would run off.

:). I was thinking of a small (some kind of life vest) with a leash. My gray kitty loves to sit on the edge of the tub and has fallen in a couple times.

Thank you so much Shelagh for the information. I am excited about trying this next Spring. I am not a Winter Kayaker, you can see some photos in my collection of us kayaking. We have the ones with the peddles (I have joint/arthritis) in my hands), and this works out great b/c I am use to being active.

I will try & remember that! I may not have thought about that.

Beautiful photo.Reg.

wonderful place for yuo and your cat to be, very beautifully done

I’m glad your friend gave him to you & that he’s okay. My Tigger goes for walks with me but without a leash. He sits on command & comes when I call him too. I think he thinks he’s a dog! =) I love that yours goes kayaking with you! Too cool!

Wow what a neat cat! Does he ever try to swim?

May I ask why this cat was unconscious when he was found? Do you know?

Hi Shelagh

Thanks for the info on Solomon! I am glad to hear that it was easy enough to revive him.

He is truely a unique cat. My cats wouldn’t be able to go on a boat.

great shot…lucky you 2 have each other :-)

what a stunning shot ~ so heartful to hear his story had a happy ending with you ~ beautiful siamese ~ he’s also part Lab, right? ;) Rare to see a kitty so happy to on the water xx

I wonder what the person in the red kyak up ahead thought when you, the Queen and Solomon, the Rightful King, come silently, well, maybe it was more like coming by with a fog horn on your bow.

What a beautiful shot, and what a beautiful, gorgeous, perfect companion!

He is beautiful, glad your rescued him. Great shot Hun!!

Wonderful photo. He looks like he is really enjoying the ride. So glad you rescued him!

That is fantastic! love this! Great story and a great cat!

What a great photograph. I love this. My luck with Kaaking was not so good and I am just thankful that I did not have my camera with me when I was out on the water. A boat roared by and flipped me before I even had a change to get turned around. This looks like too much fun, though and is a great capture. He looks alot like my Smokey who also has an Oriental type of body shape.

Oh my gosh what an excellent shot! Amazing! And a wonderful story!

That is so cute.. Great Capture :))

Beautiful shot. What a great looking cat.

WOW ! What a great shot :)
