Richey Goes from Street Cat to Boat CaptainChris Poole, also known as Cat Man Chris, became well-known through his cats Cole and Marmalade and is an advocate for stray, feral, ad homeless cats. He made friends with a stray that turned out to have been abandoned when his family moved away. With a lot of patience and catnip, Poole worked up to the easiest "getting a cat into the carrier" moment I've ever seen. The cat, eventually named Richey, was adopted by Kiley and her parents, Lori and Jason. Jason said since they talked him into a cat, he was going to get a boat. You can see a video of Richey exploring the boat for the first time here. That was a year and a half ago, and the whole family, Richey included, now takes boat trips all over. You can follow their adventures at YouTube or Facebook.#cat #rescue #boat

Boaters in California Get Mugged by Two Giant Gray WhalesIt’s the most wonderful season for whale watching, especially for these Californian boaters. The passengers aboard this boat were treated with the most marvelous sight when two giant gray whales appeared nearby and began bobbing, rolling, and flashing their tails. Experts called the behavior “mugging”, although we bet nobody on the tour boat minded being mugged this way.Gray whales are known as the friendly whales. Still, as soon as they were within the vicinity of the boat, the captain powered off the engine so the whales felt comfortable enough to come near. And they did. They floated around the boat for about 45 minutes, greeting its passengers with their antics.As for the timing of the encounter, these whales are migrating north during March. The whales’ long journey extends from their breeding waters in Mexico back home to Alaska, passing California’s coast.#whale #graywhale #WhaleWatching #boat
