Slowly but surely, Mr. Munchkin became the Feline Adventurer
You can never know a pet's potential unless you give them a chance or become patient enough to train them. If you do both, they might surprise you with what they can grow up to be.
They might become your best lounging companion or the travel buddy you've been looking for. You'll never know until you take that first step with them.
Mr. Munchkin was only three days old in an incubator with his sister Stella when an animal health technician named Gabrielle Vachon took both of them to be fostered. Vachon already had a dog named Cowboy but thought that an addition to their family would be better.
She saw cats online whose stories revolved around having adventures and figured that Mr. Munchkin might fit that kind of life. Since she was already a kayak and boat owner, Vachon thought that their ultimate adventure would be learning to kayak
Gabrielle was patient with training Mr. Munchkin on being comfortable being in the kayak without compromising his safety. They started with the leash and social training which progressed in staying in the kayak for periods of time.
As time went on, Mr. Munchkin got to go on a lot of adventures whenever the waves are small and the weather is kind. Gabrielle eventually gained herself another companion to see new places with.
Gabrielle already owned a kayak and boat in Montreal. She was fully comfortable with both and wanted to start training Mr. Munchkin with being familiar with being in them.
Their backyard was a great starting point. Mr. munchkin started getting treats whenever he gets in the kayak willingly, which he caught on pretty fast.
They slowly moved to the lake which, thankfully he was already familiar with. Gabrielle continued his training whenever he stayed in the boat comfortably for a long time and slowly but surely, he got the hang of it.
Mr. Munchkin was pushed beyond his comfort zone but never forced to stay if he didn't want to. His safety was always considered and a towel was on hand if he ever got wet.
Mr. Munchkin is a great example of what heights pets can reach with the help of their owners. Gabrielle Vachon was lucky to have him and Cowboy as companions to share adventures with.
