Perhaps the cat was not trying to tie you up securely. She might have been just playing with you. :)

Being a live aboard, my crew (aka cat Dinghy) gets locked in the brig (v-berth), he can tell when I am thinking of leaving the dock. It's terrible being out smarted by a cat. Once under way, he likes to sit on cushion layed over clutches, makes it tough to adjust the main, all the while giving me the finger, (mentally), for making him go sailing. When arriving back at slip first one off is supposed to take a line. Yeah he doesn't do that either.Â

Before the Great Refit, often when my wife and I went out for an afternoon sail it went like this:

Me: “Honey, could you just take in on the mainsheet a bit?”

Wife, putting down her knitting and cranking: “Is that enough?”

“Yes. Thanks”

Wife goes back to knitting.

“Honey, could ease the traveler down a bit?”

Wife: “Okay… Is that enough?”

>
Me: “Yes. Thanks.”

Me in a few seconds: “Could you bring the traveler up a bit?” (after cranking in on the jib”

Wife: “Your racing again, aren’t you?”

Me: “Well, there’s a boat on the horizon and I think he’s pointing higher than us.”

Wife: “Really…?”

Me: “Just pull it up a little bit, okay?”

Wife goes back to knitting…

AKA: Competition Cruisinng.

This is why I often sail singlehanded. Wife, son, and dog got tired of my general yahoo approach to sailing even on a cruise.

My crew:

Spouse: Hanging on tightly convinced we're going to capsize when we heel.

Daughter: Total lack of situational awareness, particularly noticeable when on the foredeck, we're coming about and the jib and lines proceed to mummify her.

Son: Panic-frozen in place, terrified of the body-hugging apparatus called a PFD.

Me: Having too much fun to really quite grasp that no one else is.
