Little Midna took her first camping trip this past weekend, and it was quite the experience! I learned a lot, but I definitely think she’ll be going camping again. We only went drop camping this time, but maybe sometime I’ll be able to take her for a small backpacking trip.

Our tent had a perfect sized window for her! She loved looking out of it. I am not sure I picked the best day to bring her camping for the first time, as there was some thunder in the distance towards the beginning of our adventure and she spent most of the time in the tent after getting spooked by it. Midna managed to slip out of her harness twice, though she didn’t run away either time. The first time was directly after hearing the thunder and we caught her before she could have run (though I am inclined to believe she would have run into the tent), and the second time she slipped out was while she was in the tent by herself. I had decided to leave the tent door open to encourage her to come out and so clipped her leash to a part inside of the tent, where she quickly got tangled and was able to slip out. However, she only went under a blanket as opposed to running out. Needless to say, I think she may need a better harness; however, I did loosen it up after my mother hinted that she felt it was too tight, so that might have been a part of the issue. Sometime around 4 in the morning, Midna finally felt comfortable enough to try breaking out of the tent... however, I didn’t take her out until around 8am, but after that, everything was perfect! She couldn’t have been happier, though she definitely wanted to explore a bit more than she was being allowed. If you ever feel like bringing a cat camping, definitely consider the weather a bit more seriously than I did! I also had some big issues with her getting tangled in practically everything: nature, in the tent, outside the tent around the table, etc. Haven’t quite figured out a solution to that just yet...

If all goes according to plan, my lovely lady will partake on her first camping adventure tomorrow! She’s comfortable on a leash and loves rolling in the dirt, so here’s hoping I’ll have a happy cat and great camp-nachos.
