Cats are fun, safe, and friendly companions to countless liveaboard sailors. Caring for a cat on a sailboat can also be easy.

Cats can live safely and comfortably aboard sailboats with proper space, ventilation, climate control, and safety precautions. Most cities and marinas allow cats aboard, and they’re easy to care for if you take a few extra measures.

In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about living aboard a sailboat with a cat (or two). We’ll go over the best breeds for sailboats, essential cat safety measures, indoor and outdoor cats, toys and entertainment, and how to keep your cabin clean.

We sourced the information for this article primarily from the tips of liveaboard cat owners. We also researched cat breeds and behavior, along with which cats are best suited for long-term living aboard a sailboat.

Can You Keep a Cat on a Sailboat?

Yes! Cats are some of the best pets to have aboard sailboats. They generally require less attention in terms of exercise than dogs, and many cats can acclimate easily to living on a sailboat. Cats offer great company, and they’ve been kept on boats and ships for decades.

That said, there are several unique challenges that cat owners face while living aboard a sailboat. We’ll go over the best supplies and strategies soon, but first, we’ll cover the rules and legality of keeping cats in liveaboard sailboats.

Marina Rules and Pet Regulations

The most likely issue you’ll run into is the marina itself. Some marinas that allow liveaboards have strict pet policies. These are instituted primarily for sanitation reasons, and violating the rules can get you kicked out.

Liveaboard slips are hard to come by these days, so it’s best to abide by the marina’s policies. Be sure to contact your chosen marina and make sure you’ll be allowed to keep a cat on board. Some marinas have policies strictly for dogs or outdoor cats, so you may be off the hook.

Local Pet Ordinances

Local ordinances apply in just a few situations. First, some communities set limits on how many pets can occupy a residence. These limits are usually based on square footage, which is where liveaboards usually run into trouble.

For example, a city or county may specify that you can only keep one pet per 100 square feet of interior space. These rules may or may not apply to mobile dwellings (such as RVs and boats), so it’s best to check first. Regardless, most standard cruising sailboats can only comfortably (and hygienically) harbor one or two pets at a time.

How Many Cats Can You Keep on a Sailboat?

This question depends entirely on your cleaning capabilities and the size of your sailboat. A 30-foot sailboat cabin gets awfully cramped with two or three cats aboard, not to mention the litter box problem. Multiple cats using a litter box in a well-sealed fiberglass tube isn’t a good situation.

As a general rule, it’s best to start with one cat regardless of the size of your boat. That way, you can get acclimated to taking care of a cat on a boat before taking on additional pets. For vessels under 40 feet in length, two cats is a reasonable limit.

Benefits of Liveaboard Cats

There are numerous benefits to living aboard a sailboat with a cat! The first and most common benefit is the companionship of having your pet aboard. It can greatly enhance the atmosphere by adding comfort and a real sense of ‘home’ in the very utilitarian environment of a sailboat cabin.

Additionally, cats are a great way to keep pests from occupying your vessel. Many sailors leave the hatches open during the summer, and sailboats are a five-star destination for mice and other disease-riddled rodents. Cats are humanity’s oldest and most effective pest control system.

Cats also provide a great opportunity to bond with other liveaboards. From arranging playdates to sharing common experiences, keeping a cat or two aboard your sailboat is sure to add an extra layer of quality to your experience.

Indoor or Outdoor Cats: Which are Best for Sailboats?

The indoor/outdoor cat debate has raged between homeowners for decades, and the question is even more important to consider as a liveaboard.

The primary issue here is that cats are difficult to keep contained aboard a boat. Sailboats have lots of large openings for people to move in and out of. Hatches and portlights present ample opportunity for cats to ‘escape’ and run off up the dock. Having an outdoor cat somewhat negates the issue, as they’re free to come and go as they please.

Outdoor cats are the easiest to deal with if you like opening up your boat frequently, and it frees up deck space for your cat to relax and exercise in your presence. However, outdoor cats can bring in ticks and fleas, which can rapidly overrun a confined space like a sailboat cabin.

Indoor cats eliminate the tick and flea issue, but you’ll have to keep a much closer eye on them. Some cats naturally won’t stray off the boat, so there’s a possible solution. And yes, it’s entirely possible to keep a cat from escaping a sailboat if some precautions are taken.

Which Cat Breeds are Best for Liveaboard Sailboats?

Believe it or not, there are several cat breeds that are adapted for life on the water. It’s no guarantee that your cat will swim like a Golden Retriever, but many breeds are known for their affinity for water.

The best cat breeds for sailboats are the American Bobtail, the Maine Coon, the Manx, the Japanese Bobtail, the Norwegian Forest Cat, the Turkish Angora, the American Shorthair, the Turkish Van, and most varieties of Bengal cats.

How to ‘Cat-Proof’ Your Sailboat

Cat-proofing your sailboat is essential if you’re planning to have one aboard. Cat-proofing refers to steps you should take to protect your cat from getting into areas where it shouldn’t be.

First, make sure to seal off any open access to the bilge. Sailboat bilges are often wet, unsanitary, and confined—which is just asking for trouble. Additionally, make sure your cat can’t get into the engine compartment or anywhere fuel and oil are stored.

Make sure to enclose access to electrical panels and wiring, as cats are known to chew up or destroy essential wiring and systems. Also, they can give themselves an unpleasant shock from rubbing against or biting into the wrong wires.

All other spaces on your sailboat should be safe for cats, as long as they’re accessible and open. Make sure to keep cupboards closed, and consider adding netting over deep cubbies to prevent your cat from getting stuck or trapped behind a panel or bulkhead.

Liveaboard Cat Safety

Keeping your cat safe aboard your sailboat can be easy. The main concerns are temperature, water, and the environment. Below, we’ll go over how to keep your pet safe and comfortable in the unique environment of a liveaboard sailboat.

Can Cats Swim?

Many cats can swim to some extent, but they usually don’t like it. Any cat owner who’s tried to give their cat a bath can attest to this fact. However, cats can be acclimated to the water with some patience and routine practice.

Lifejackets for Cats

It’s a good idea to spend time in the water with your cat, as you want to be sure it can swim if it falls overboard. Using a specialized cat life jacket is a great way to start. These lifejackets are also useful in an emergency.

Leashes and Harnesses

Having a leash and a good cat harness is a great way to safely let your cat enjoy the deck space of a sailboat. Many liveaboards attach a leash to the deck rail or a stay wire. A leash and harness essentially double the amount of space your cat has to hang out.

If it’s long enough, it’ll allow your cat to explore and hang out on the deck without running away. Just be sure to keep it untangled from lines and rigging. Don’t attach a leash to a collar, as it can be hazardous if your cat tries to jump off the boat or gets snagged in the rigging.

You can also incorporate a lifejacket into a leash system, which is especially helpful when making an offshore passage or getting underway. It’s a great and inexpensive upgrade for you and your cat.

Climate and Temperature

When it comes to temperature, the same rules that apply to cars also apply to sailboats. Never let your boat get too hot with your cat inside. Make sure the vessel is well ventilated, heated, and air-conditioned if possible. Sailboat cabins can get extremely hot quite fast. Remember, if you’re sweating, your cat could be overheating much worse.

Cats on Sailboats: Sanitation

Nobody likes to think about sanitation, but it’ll be the only thing on your mind if your boat isn’t cat-friendly. Small spaces can be soiled rapidly, especially with an animal onboard. However, you don’t have to resign yourself to a dirty space when you have a liveaboard cat.

Litter and Litter Boxes

Choosing the right litter and litter box is essential to maintaining a clean and disease-free sailboat cabin for you and your cat. Cat waste is noxious and must be contained effectively.

Don’t skimp on litter quality! Deodorants in cheap litter only mask the smell for a short time (if at all), so it’s best to find a product with odor-killing abilities. The best way to do that is to purchase high-quality anti-odor cat litter (the pricey stuff) and a partially-enclosed litter box.  

Food and Water

Food and water are pretty self-explanatory aboard a sailboat, but it requires spatial consideration. You can still feed your high-quality cat food as long as there’s enough room aboard to store sufficient supplies. Additionally, you’ll need an anti-spill water bowl to prevent your floating home from rolling and spilling water everywhere.

Hair Control

Most cats shed, and cat hair isn’t the best addition to your upholstery. Thankfully, cat hair and other allergens can be controlled effectively with proper ventilation and cleaning tools. A simple dustbuster is sufficient for cleaning furniture and scooping up stray chunks of litter.

Ventilation

Keep that air moving! Cats need fresh air, and so do humans who live in confined spaces with cats. It’s easy to ensure your sailboat has adequate ventilation. Simply install a few solar-powered deck vents and crack a porthole. Additional passive ventilation (like a wind scoop) can be a lifesaver on hot and stagnant days.

Waste Disposal

You’ll probably have to clean the litter box about twice as often when living aboard a sailboat. The most important thing to remember is to get the waste off the boat as soon as possible.

Avoid flushing it down the toilet, as litter can expand and ruin pipes and septic tanks. Instead, bag it and take it to the marina dumpster. If you perform this task once every day or two, you’ll be in great shape.

Cat Toys for Liveaboard Sailboats

Keeping your cat entertained is pretty simple on a sailboat. Most liveaboard cat owners have a wide array of typical small cat toys. You could let your cat scratch up the furniture freely, though it’s better to find a place to add (or build) a scratching post.

Some sailors turn the bottom of a wooden bulkhead into a scratching post by stapling a sheet of thick cat carpet around the base. Other possible scratching post locations include the base of the mast, the centerboard trunk (if you have one), and the base of a table.

Types of Cat Collars: The Ultimate Guide 

When people think of cat collars, they usually think of how they are used for identification. While collars are an excellent form of identification for cats, there are also other types of cat collars used for other reasons.

Choosing the best cat collar can be a daunting task. When making your decision, you must consider things such as the type, the material, and the function of the collar. 

In this post, I will be covering all these things and more to help you make the safest and best collar choice for you and your cat.

4 Reasons Your Cat Should Wear a Collar

Most people think that outdoor free-roaming cats are the only ones who need to wear collars. While it is true that outdoor cats should absolutely wear one, there are other instances in which wearing a collar is important. 

A cat should wear a collar if they are:

• An outdoor cat
• An indoor cat who likes to door dash or who is at risk of getting outside
• A cat that goes for outdoor leash walks
• A cat experiencing a change in their environment, such as traveling, moving, going to the vet, or being cared for by a pet sitter

Identification collars are important because they can easily identify your cat should they become lost. They allow someone to contact you and let you know your cat has been found. For free-roaming outdoor cats, they also indicate that the cat belongs to someone and is not a stray.

Aside from those used for identification, there are other types of collars for cats that are used for other reasons. For example, for:

• Cats who have an injury and must wear an Elizabethan collar (aka cone)
• Cats whose owners have chosen to use a flea collar parasite preventative rather than a topical or oral preventative
• Cats who wear a tracking device, bell, or other type of accessory that has a collar attachment

What to Include on Your Cat’s Collar

Your cat’s collar is primarily a source of identification, so there should be either a hanging ID tag or engraved nameplate of some kind. If you’e wondering what to put on a cat ID tag, you’re not alone. 

For identification collars, at the very least you want to make sure the tag includes your contact information – most importantly your phone number . You can also include your cat’s name, but that is secondary information compared to your phone number. 

For inside cats, you might also want to include a line that says something along the lines of “I’m lost!” or “Indoor cat” – anything that will let someone else know that your cat is indeed lost .

Because free-roaming outdoor cats are fairly common, it would be easy for someone to just assume your cat is simply an outdoor cat. However, if they happen to check the collar and see your special note, they will immediately know your cat isn’t supposed to be outside and will hopefully notify you.

Other optional information to put on your cat’s collar includes:

• a rabies tag
• a microchip tag

The 4 Main Types of Cat Collars

When I talk about the types of cat collars, I am referring to the type of buckle or clasp used. When taking into consideration the material and function, there are several variations of cat collars, but they can all fit into four main classifications: basic collars, breakaway collars, buckle collars, and elastic collars . Each type has its own set of pros and cons.

Basic Cat Collars

Basic cat collars come in a wide variety of colors and materials, but their clasp is typically just a regular side-release buckle with no breakaway feature. 

• They won’t get lost very easily
• They are a choking hazard and can cause injury if the collar gets snagged on something

Breakaway Cat Collars 

Breakaway collars are those that have a plastic clasp that will pop open if enough pulling pressure is applied. They are a popular style of cat collar for safety reasons. Cats are prone to climbing, going under things, and other cat behaviors that can lead to their collar getting snagged or stuck on something. A snagged collar can cause an injury, and it’s also a choking hazard. 

With a breakaway buckle (also known as a quick-release buckle), your cat’s collar will pop off if it gets caught on another object. This safety feature helps prevent those aforementioned injuries and choking.

• Helps prevent injury if your cat’s collar gets snagged
• Your cat may lose their collar and ID tags if the collar pops off
• Some breakaway clasps are extra sensitive and pop open too easily

Note : Some cat collars have plastic clasps that look identical to a breakaway clasp but aren’t actually breakaway. If you are specifically looking for a breakaway collar, make sure that the collar specifies that it is indeed breakaway. 

Buckle Cat Collars

Buckle collars are those that have the prong style buckle with a collar strap with holes punched for adjustability. They function exactly like a human belt buckle. 

While these types of collars are popular for dogs, they aren’t generally recommended for cats because they lack the breakaway feature. The only instance I can think of that it would be okay for a cat to wear a traditional buckle collar would be if the cat was always supervised while wearing it.

Pros: 

Elastic Cat Collars

Elastic collars are those that are made from a stretchy material or have a piece of elastic in them that allows them to stretch. In theory, they are designed to allow your cat to be able to slip out of their collar if it becomes snagged on something – similarly to the breakaway collars. However, in reality, they are unsafe. 

In a study done on collar safety , elastic collars were shown to be the second highest cause of collar-related injuries, following flea collars without a breakaway feature. Due to the nature of elastic, these types of cat collars are likely to stretch out with repeated use, in turn making them looser and more likely to get caught on other objects. 

• Can’t think of any
• Most likely to get caught on other objects, or even your cat’s mouth or paws

Collar Variations

As mentioned, there are several different variations on the types of collars for cats outlined above. Within the four main collar types, you can have variations based on things like the material, the adjustability, and the function.

There are several popular materials used for cat collars. Basic, breakaway, and buckle collars can be found in the widest variety of materials, while elastic collars are usually made of nylon or polyester.

• Nylon  – lightweight, durable, affordable, comes in a wide range of colors, easily found in pet stores
• Leather  – stylish, durable, available in my styles and colors; however, they require conditioning to maintain their good condition
• Polyester  – durable, easy to clean, comes in a wide range of colors
• Cotton  – soft and comfortable, available in many different colors and patterns, commonly used with handmade and/or more fashionable collars
• Cork  – lightweight, eco-friendly, waterproof, stylish
• Hemp  – soft, lightweight, comfortable, hypoallergenic
• BioThane  – lightweight, durable, waterproof, odor proof, easy to clean

I personally have used breakaway collars made from nylon, leather, cotton, and BioThane. While I love all the pattern and color options found in nylon and cotton collars, when it comes to practicality, I will always choose BioThane. 

When I’m out adventuring with my cats, there is always the chance their gear will get wet and dirty, and BioThane cat collars are perfect for those scenarios. Nylon and cotton collars get wet and soggy and eventually mildew and fray. (You can find more info about my favorite BioThane cat collar down below.)

Adjustability

Basic, breakaway, buckle, and elastic collars are all usually adjustable – meaning they have the plastic tri-glide sliders that allow you to adjust the collar’s size to best fit your cat. Adjustable collars are especially great for cats that aren’t full grown yet. That way you can easily adjust the collar’s size as your cat grows. 

While an adjustable cat collar will work great for most cats, there are some instances in which having a collar that is NOT adjustable is a better choice. For example, if your cat doesn’t like having things around their neck. A collar without the adjustable sliders and extra layer of material isn’t as bulky as an adjustable one, so some cats might find them to be more comfortable. 

If you opt for a collar that is not adjustable, be sure to measure your cat’s neck before ordering to ensure you receive the correct size. 

I’ve talked mainly about collars used for identification purposes, but there are several other types of collars that serve different uses or additional purposes. These all

• Bell Collars  – A bell added to a cat’s collar has a couple of purposes: alerting prey outdoors that a cat is near and also helping you to locate your cat. However, the constant sound of the bell ringing can sometimes be irritating to both the cat and nearby humans. When deciding whether or not to add a bell, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons for your specific situation but also pay attention to how your cat feels about it. 
• Flea Collars  – Flea and tick collars can be used as an alternative to topic or oral preventatives. If choosing to use a flea collar, make sure that it has a breakaway or quick release function in case it becomes snagged on something. 
• Elizabethan Collars  – These are the type of collar known as the “cone” or “cone of shame.” They are used to prevent your cat from biting, scratching, or licking at a would or surgery incision. They come in various styles – some are stand-alone and don’t require a regular collar, while others slide over your cat’s regular collar. 
• Reflective Collars  – Reflective cat collars have a strip of material that reflect light, increasing your cat’s visibility at night. This is an important safety feature if your cat ever goes out at night. 
• Decorative Collars  – Decorative collars come in all types and materials, but their primary function is style. They may have festive patterns, rhinestones, bow ties, or other decorative accents. 
• Tracking Collars  – It’s recommended for outdoor cats or cats who adventure outdoors on a harness and leash to wear some sort of tracking device so there is a better chance of them being found if they were to get lost. Most tracking devices, whether GPS, bluetooth , or radio frequency , will attach to your cat’s regular collar. However, there are some standalone GPS collars and other types of tracking collars that come with the device and collar together. 
• Calming Collars  – These collars emit synthetic pheromones that are meant to easy your cat’s stress or anxiety and to help them feel calm and relaxed. Like with the flea collars, you want to make sure that the calming collar you choose has a breakaway feature. I’ve used Comfort Zone calming collars before, and I can attest that the breakaway function works well.
• LED Collars – Like reflective collars, these are intended for nighttime use so you can more easily see your cat in the dark. They usually light up in different colors. The benefit to LED collars over reflective ones is they don’t require light to shine on them in order to be seen. NiteIze is the most popular brand and one that I use with my cats when we go on nighttime adventures.

Collar Safety Concerns

While cat collars have many beneficial features and purposes, it’s important to understand that they also come with risks and safety concerns. It’s not totally uncommon for cats to snag their collars on other objects, to get a paw or leg caught, or even their jaw stuck, which can lead to injury or strangulation. Even collars with breakaway features are not 100% without risk. 

To mitigate the chances of injury or discomfort to your cat, it’s important to first ensure a proper fit. A collar that is too tight or too loose is more likely to cause issues. You should be able to fit one finger between your cat’s neck and the collar. 

It’s also important to keep a close eye on your cat, especially when they’re first getting used to wearing a collar. They may scratch at it or try to get it off at first. This behavior can last a week or two before they get acclimated to having it on. 

If your cat frequently scratches at their collar, you should check it on a regular basis (at least once a day) to make sure it remains properly fitted. Once your cat is comfortable wearing their collar, you should still check in on it at least a couple times a week to make sure it continues functioning properly, fits right, and isn’t becoming frayed or damaged. 

Some cats are especially sensitive to having things on their neck. Depending on the material of the collar and how much the cat scratches at it, the collar could possibly cause skin irritation or mat the cat’s fur. This is another reason to keep an eye on your cat – to check on any sores, irritation, or fur damage from their collar. 

The bottom line is: Collars are not a “set it and forget it” kind of thing. 

The Kylo Collar – BioThane Cat Collar

I mentioned before that my favorite material for cat collars is BioThane, hands down. When I first discovered BioThane, I knew right away that it would be perfect for cat collars and leashes – especially for cats who enjoy going for outdoor adventures. 

I got tired of my cats’ leashes and collars getting wet and soggy and picking up all kinds of dirt and debris on our outings. Switching to BioThane gear fixed all those issues. However, there was still the issue of most BioThane gear being designed with dogs in mind – meaning thicker widths, heavier hardware, etc. 

So I set out to design my own BioThane gear designed specifically for cats.

I now have a line of handcrafted BioThane cat collars, called the Kylo Collars (named after one of my kitty adventurers, Kylo Ren). The Kylo Collar is a fixed-length breakaway collar – meaning it is NOT adjustable, and it DOES come with the breakaway feature.

This is now what I use with all of my cats, and they have become quite popular in the cat adventure world. 

Here is what one customer has to say about them: 

“I’m so happy with this collar – it’s so simple and beautiful! I just love how smooth everything about that collar is. Not having the adjustable feature (since it’s custom-made to perfectly fit your cat’s neck) means there are fewer bits that might annoy cats who are more sensitive to collars…Even the clasp is nice, unobtrusive, seems super sturdy, but opens with just the right amount of tension.” Sonja G.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do indoor cats need to wear collars?

Even if your cat doesn’t go outside, it doesn’t hurt for them to wear a collar. There’s always a chance they could slip out of the house. That being said, an indoor cat who is a door dasher or who is traveling, staying under the care of a pet sitter, or going to the vet, they should absolutely wear a collar. 

Does my cat need to wear a collar if they are microchipped?

Yes! Microchips are great and I definitely recommend having your cat microchipped, but they require someone to take your cat to a veterinarian or animal shelter that has a chip scanner. Most people might not be willing to take that step.

If your cat wears a collar with up-to-date ID tags, someone can quickly and easily identify your cat and give you a call.

At what age should my cat start wearing a collar?

Your cat can start wearing a collar at any age, though kittens are usually more open to new experiences and easier to train. It’s never too late though!

If you do put a collar on your kitten, they should remain supervised while wearing it. A kitten might not be strong enough to detach a breakaway clasp on their own if it were to get caught on something.

Does it matter how wide the collar is?

I’d recommend either a 3/8″ or 1/2″ width collar. These two widths are lightweight and won’t be as obtrusive on your cat’s neck.

What if my cat won’t wear a collar?

To make the collar experience a positive one for your cat, you will want to make sure your go through the collar training process. Read  Cat School’s cat collar training guide  for step-by-step help.  

What are the best kitten collars?

You can find kitten collars at most pet stores. The best option will be one that has an adjustable length so that it will fit your kitten for as long as possible as they grow, and possibly even once they are full grown.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
