Boat cats are not a new concept. Sailors used to choose Maine Coons as mousers, as their big paws could grip the deck in storms. But as we set sail, I wondered how Willow would fare. Fortunately, the fair weather meant she soon found her sea paws.

We moored at Fitzroy Island, roughly 30 kilometres south-east of Cairns. While the humans snorkelled with the turtles, Willow searched the cabin for the perfect quiet napping spot.

When we returned to the boat, I used Willow’s tracker to find which cupboard she was sleeping in. Then, while everyone helped out to make dinner, she found the most obtrusive spot on the cabin floor to spread out.

We watched the last of the sun from the deck before bed.

The sticky sea air was still when we woke. The hum of the tourist boats approaching reminded us that we would soon have to share paradise.

By evening, the other tourists had left and, for one last night, we had the reef to ourselves again.
