Duck retrieving Cat?
« on: December 26, 2022, 01:58:03 PM »
I want to train my cat to retrieve ducks....I know this sounds ridiculous but hes a Savannah cat and loves the water and already plays fetch with toys (still a kitten)....im not 100% its possible to get him used to the gun shots but want to try. Hes just a kitten still but will walk on a leash outside and loves jumping in the tub and trying to go in the lake after ducks. If anyone in Everett area has some duck wings available please respond or message me. Thank you for your help.

Good luck with your endeavor, but I'm not sure taking your cat out duck hunting where it is likely to encounter hunting dogs and eagles is a good idea.  :twocents:  :sry:

Well, hes still a kitten now but already the size of a big domestic cat. When hes full grown a eagle wouldnt even try, hell be the size of a medium sized dog. he also gets along with big dogs as his breeders had them around him. It will take a lot of training and not sure it can happen, but with some help (some duck wings would help with the training) it is possible.

I’ve seen a French bulldog retrieve ducks, a cat would even be cooler. Please update this thread with vids.

I was going to ask if the cat's name is Walter.  Those commercials were pretty comical.

I have a young cat that retrieves her mouse toy... Waits until the command is given and she runs a warp speed and grabs it then  brings it to me and drops it at my hand as she is running past.Her name is Winda.....meaning Female Hunter. I watched her trail ( by nose) a feral tomcat until she caught up with it.

Use caution. Cats don't shed water like a dog does or trap air. Hypothermia would be a real issue, even early season.

Could be a fun gimmick, but real world has to kick in sooner or later. I'm just thinking the old-time market hunters developed labs and chessies...and we're still using labs and chessies maybe for good reason.

If this works, then I might be persuaded to train a pack of cats that can chase cougars or bear. A neighbor has a cat called a Maine coon that is pretty big, maybe bobcat size.

Game warden sees the boxes in the bed of a truck. Says sir you need to step out of the vehicle. Gentleman asks why?Game warden cuffs him and says it is illegal to run hounds. Gentleman says officer I am running my......... kitties. Now release me. :chuckle:

Could you imagine that interaction with a game officer. That would be hilarious.

My sister had a Maine Coon. That was a substantial cat, I think around 30 lbs, or it looked that big with all the hair.

That's what I was thinking, very clever loophole.

My cat is training on the cat wheel, still playing fetch, and training in the bath tub. Need some duck wings tho to continue progress. How do I post a video here to show some of the progress?

Maybe we should get a pool going.
I will personally Venmo or PayPal you $50 if you provide a video of your cat actually retrieving a duck while you are hunting… :chuckle:
I personally don’t think you’ll get past the “gun training”, but I do wish you luck.!
This is hilarious
