Kiki's Corner

Back to Wilmington, Kiki Crosses the Rainbow Bridge and then Onward to New Bern – Great Loop Cruising

Sep 9, 2024 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

We left Wilmington after a delightful month full of new friends, great food, entertainment and just immersing ourselves in an enchanting city. But we left with a little bit of concern for Kiki and her starting to not finish her meals – a fairly normal sometimes behavior. After cruising back down the Cape Fear River, […]

Kiki’s Final Adventure (October 10th, 2008 – July 29th, 2024)

Aug 7, 2024 by Cherie Ve Ard 45 Comments

It is with deep sadness in our hearts that we share that our beloved Kiki passed away last week (Monday, July 29th) after nearly 16 years of full time nomadic adventures with us. The boat feels so empty without her.  Kiki conquered our hearts back in November 2008. We had stopped in to visit our […]

We Miss Our Jacket – But Life Goes On (A Tale of Two Ducks)

Oct 15, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 19 Comments

2020 has been a rollercoaster of a decade. Wait. Year. It’s just a year, right? There’s no doubt the state of the world weighs heavy on many. Even if you’re fortunate enough to still have income and a safe place to live. These are tough times. And in tough times, little glimmers of joy become […]

Feeding a Cat on the Road (Robotic Wi-Fi Controlled Food Dispenser!)

Oct 6, 2018 by Kiki 6 Comments

Hi guys.. it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post. But I wanted to introduce you to my new best friend – I call him ‘Robot’. I like food. I like it a lot. When we got our bus back in 2011, my people bought me an automatic food dispenser called the PetMate […]

Dinner Island Ranch WMA – Free Florida Boondocking

Feb 15, 2017 by Kiki 14 Comments

My people are super busy this week doing work stuff (apparently, Verizon launched a new Unlimited Data Plan this week – and that’s kinda big news). So they told me I could be more useful if I caught up the blog, instead of annoying them to go for a walk constantly. Silly people. Ok, so […]

RVing with Cats

Jul 25, 2016 by Kiki 11 Comments

Hey everyone – Kiki here.  Chris and Cherie are super busy this week attending the Escapee’s Escapade in Vermont. They told me if I get bored while they’re attending seminars and talking to people, that I should do something useful. So I thought some of you might like to know about RVing with Cats. They hosted a […]

Bus Renovations: A Cat’s Purrrfect RV Litter Box

Jan 8, 2016 by Kiki 30 Comments

An advantage of having a cat rule your life instead of a dog, is the we don’t use the euphemism of ‘lets go for a walk’ to really mean ‘I need to pee or poop all over things’. We cats are much more civilized. We do our business in a box full of sand and […]

It’s All About Cats, Example #493: Creating a Pet Leash Hook on an RV

Sep 4, 2015 by Kiki 24 Comments

I’ve spent a lot of time leash training my people – so that they take me outside when the best hunting times are, and I stay safer by not wandering off too far (it keeps them from worrying too much). I love patrolling the nearby bushes and trees around our campsite. Long ago, they got […]

3 Tips for RVing & Camping with Humans

Dec 8, 2014 by Kiki 30 Comments

Six years ago today, Cherie & Chris stopped by for a visit to a little farm in Oregon. I was 7 weeks old then and I kinda liked them. So I told them that I now own them. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. You see, these humans I decided to […]

The Bushes of Blanco, And Other Cat Adventures…

Oct 3, 2014 by Kiki 17 Comments

My people have been hounding me to blog since I haven’t posted since we were in Cedar Key in January. Hounding. As if ‘hounding’ is effective encouragement for a cat! I’ve been busy – way too busy to blog. But if it gets them off my back and earns me a few treats, I guess […]
