20 Purrfect Things of Captain Ahab The Sailor Cat & Little Zissou - How You Can Buy Them For Your Purr Babies / Cats
As you probably all know by now, we adopted this kitty cat and named him Captain Ahab aka The Sailor Cat. Just like any other cats, he loves jumping around, playing with things and spending the day just stretching and being lazy haha.
The only difference is that he lives in the sailboat with us and he loves the ocean. In fact, he already sailed with us from Florida to Bahamas, Turks & Caicos and now in the Dominican Republic (he already have 3 stamps on his pet passport!). We are looking forward to seeing him swim in the ocean one day. Haha!
He’s our baby and our family so we love him to bits and we’re spoiling him with a lot of goodies which he loves. Check out some of his things which I’m sure your fur babies (especially your purr-babies!) will love :)
1. Cat Hammock
There are times that the temperature inside our sailboat is sizzling hot-- that’s the time Captain Ahab chooses to sleep in this very comfy cat hammock rather than Jon’s side. Haha! It is made of rugged fabric which is heavy duty but lightweight so the cat's body temperature won't overheat despite the outside heat and their kalikutan. It has Giant Patented USA Suction Cups and stainless-steel cables that is built to last. Your purr-babies would love this especially in the summer :)
Amazon Price: $44.99
2. Foam Soccer Balls
This is a soft & light ball which your cat would love to play around with. It doesn’t make this annoying sound when bitten by our Ahab and the best thing is it’s non-toxic so your kitty-safety is guaranteed.
Amazon Price: $9.39 for a pack of 12
3. Cat Ball
This is a luxurious bed which will be your dog/cat’s favorite place to sleep in. It has a cute whale design (perfect for our sailboat) and fringes which Ahab really loves. It’s easy to wash too!
Amazon Price: $89
4. Laser Lights
One of the favorite things our cats love to chase (aside from a mouse) is that beaming laser light. Do you agree? It is scientifically tested & 100% approved for animals (yes including your dogs) so you can spend less time worrying and more time having fun. It also serves as a powerful flashlight that you can take with you for a late night walk with your pets. :)

5. Sunglasses
I love it when Ahab looks hippie and not to mention a “legit” sailor cat with his sunglasses on. You’d love to see your small pets sporting this chic sunglasses too. This is perfect for the halloween :p

7. Puppia Harness
I think this is a must-have! We always strap Captain Ahab when the waves are too strong or when we’re out running errands. Ahab absolutely feels comfortable in this one-- it fits perfectly around his neck and back which leads to even distribution of pressure. The size is adjustable for both young kitty to adult cats so we’re expecting to keep this item for a very long time.

8. From The Field Catnip
Catnip is used as a training tool to encourage your pet to use that new scratching post or cat bed or litter pan. This also makes the cat hyperactive when smelled and sleep like a baby afterwards which is perfect when we just want Ahab to sleep while sailing. It’s absolutely safe for them kitties! :)

This is one of our most favorite things here. This costume instantly transforms Ahab from a sailor cat to a full-grown lion. It’s really cute!!

10. Tabby James Cat Bed
This circular cat bed naturally draws our cat to it. We just place it anywhere in the sailboat and Ahab would know where to take his daily nap.

Amazon Price: $28
11. PetQwerks Talking Babble Ball

14. A4 Pet Soft Sided Carrier Bag
It is a 17"L x 11"W x 11"H travel carrier which fits medium cats and puppy. It’s sturdy and foldable so it doesn’t take much space on our tiny sailboat.

It is well ventilated so we’re sure our cat is safe while he’s inside.
