bubby getting sick or injured is a thought that is always there--not always until the adventure has completed lol..... i would have to broadcast for a vet....either on land or at sea--and if i had to stitch him up----yipes--he may not like that---i figure the boat is just his home---he does well and so far has been ok--he did have illness from bad foods when he was a baby--the melamine scare was then and his foods were tainted.....he is good--he doesnt get into too much weird stuff--i make sure things like metal filings and dangers from working on engines is not around for his paws to pick up and then go into his innards---i am very careful with that for him....he is goood at not eating stuff that isnt food...and he doesnt eat people foods so i am not worried about him getting into much of that--i bone his fishies...so he doesnt get problems from fishbones----he is on his own with burdeez..lol..naaaw--he isnt spoiled
friend says there are vets in mexico--there are in the virgin islands -isnt much chance of me going so far from someplace i couldnt get help for him----except into the sea on a passage----when he gets closer to old or infirm, i will have to get a supply of what i need for him and then go---most things i can do for him--been rn forever..lol.....just some stuff isnt good for kitties, so cant give those--by keeping him in the boat all the time, his environment is kinda controlled---he isnt in contact with other critters--except if he catches a bird....so is kind alike in a regular house but have to go over water to get there.....
i do have a health certificate for him so he should be ok for regular treatment by a vet--but , since he doesnt leave boat at all , what he may need is right there with us...for the most part---he has been so healthy i havent had to worry about him much......
