I had a pair of nylon panniers that draped over the rack, so the cloth connecting them made a solid platform that he could get his claws into. Whenever he jumped up there, I'd take a few laps in the driveway. (I think he would have gone travelling with me, but I was afraid to take him out into traffic.) Once I leaned the bike against the garage and went inside for quite a while. When I came out again, Tiger was still sitting on the rack, so I took him on another lap. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |

We used to have a cat called Tiger, who delighted in traveling on the parcel shelf in the back of our car (carpet on that, for him to cling on to). He'd sit there unmoving for ages, until we got caught in traffic, then stand up, stretch elaborately, turn around, and lay down again, much to the surprise of any other surrounding motorists, who'd assumed he was a toy until he moved. We got used to kids pointing him out with excitement to their amused parents, and on occasion even had to wind down the window to inform them that yes, he really was a live cat, and he liked to travel that way |

Much nicer than the two cats belonging to my daughter and her husband. When they moved back east from Portland, my wife and I had the job of doing a 5 day epic drive in their Mustang with two cats yowling in terror the entire way! :-( The things we do for our kids... -- - Frank Krygowski |
