Kitten Shows Up On Couple's Boat And Stays Forever | The Dodo 

You don't choose cat. Cat choose you.

My grandfather was a lobster fisherman in the Florida Keys and he had a boat cat named Tio, and that's what Tio did. Every morning he went out with my abuelo to check the traps, eating fresh fish, getting sun on the upper deck. They even had a little raincoat made for him. He was also the official harbor/fishhouse cat, they put his picture in their calendar every year.

I've been "owned" by a few orange and white cats in my life and they're such characters.

He was born marine. He retired and went into private security. Awesome video 🐈.

This cat lived my dream job of living on a beautiful island, inspecting boats, and greeting everyone with positivity

makes me so happy when I see pets being treated so well...

That cat is a genius!! So many boats, so many opportunities!

Love The Way Cats Walk When They Have Something in Their Mouth...Head up and Perfect Posture...Fred is Irresistible!

Adorable, I love his little wiggle walk..😍

I love everything about this story - they found him, he loves the boat, “he’s taken up bird watching”😂, they’re going back out on a boat, they created a logo for him… ❤❤

Their silliness just put smiles on owner's faces. What People don't know is cats are lucky charm and extending people's lives by living with cats. They are very thoughtful. Please take care of ALL cats. I just lost my cat, Big Boy to cancer. It kills me thinking how thoughtful he was during his last days. I would gave days and years of my life to extend his days and years of life.

Pirate Fred is living THE life. ❤ 🐾🐾

Fred is living his best life❤

How nice that sweet little Fred found wealthy parents.

Fred was meant to be a family member. He may have supervised boats at the dock, but he chose you. He is so proud and prancing with holding something in his mouth. I think he was taken with the beauty, mystery, and adventure of living on a boat. He is so adorable. Wish all of u happy travels. Be safe ❤

I saw a boat cat at our marina in Florida that looked just like this and acted just like this-- the owner asked if I could pet him and say hi to him. She didn't have to ask as I would have anyway. I don't remember seeing the logo, so amazingly, I think Fred has a twin!

Fred says "these are ALL my boats" and I'm the Cat-tain🥰. So sweet and he's having a ball😊.

He's lucky, but you are the luckiest people to find the perfect cat for you.😊

That's the girl from below deck, I'm glad she's living her best life.

Fred is living his life like it’s golden! I ain’t mad at him.😂😂😂

I wouldn't mind paying to this cute lil dock master every time 😁❤

That’s cute how it just came up on the boat

Fred is the “ship’s cat” Known for bringing good luck for centuries 👍 Fred is awesome!

Fred's living his best life! 😻

he really thinks he owns it 😂

How lucky 'Captain Fred' is for finding such a loving family...BTW, I hope you're intending to buy him some kind of floatation device...Don't pay the heartbreaking price we had to pay...The devastatingly traumatic drowning of our beautiful, sweet & beloved Airedale Terrier...I'll NEVER get over it...Bless you, guys & hope you'll love your latest journey...💕

2:43 when he takes himself for a walk with leash in mouth is so adorable

I LOVE THIS! Fred is amazing, and so are his parents. ❤❤❤

Oh my goodness Fred's little outfits😭❤

Fred is more like a poocher..lol Great personality and very confident. Wonderful life, now its complete because of Fred...lol ❤

If I lived in a Greek island with a cat on a boat, I would never leave the island.

A life well saved, and lived! 😻😍🥰💖😘

So cute and fascinating! Sweet cat 🐈 💕

Fred you are living the best life ever. You have amazing fur parents ❤❤😺😺😺🐾🐾🐾⚓🚏⛵⛵⛵

Fred is living the life many cats did back in the day. He must be an old soul who needed a mommy and daddy for his crew.

The boat logo w fred's face and the bones is so cute! Fred is immortalized.

gorgeous cat and gorgeous mommy😊

This is just amazing. What a little dude Fred is!

Fred, you little rascal! Have a smooth sailing and mischievous adventures on the shores. Never stop being you!

My cat was a sailboat cat her whole life. It was amazing watching her. She stood and sat with a wide stance. She had kitty sea legs. She also had a knack for locating the boat with fresh prawns.

0:58 Such a cute meow!

Finally! Dodo hasn't done a cat video in weeks! I seriously thought you all were moving to an all-dog format for your channel. I hope you most more cat videos.

Beautiful cat!!!! I am glad your husband said to pick him up. The logo is so cool ! I love it ! Thanks for sharing Freds life !!

The connections we have with our animals is MAGICAL.❤️

OMG!! FRED IS SUPER A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!! LOVE HIM IN HIS "SECURITY" VEST!! 💕😍🩵🥰 C-U-T-E-S-T CAT EVERRRRR!! WHOS WITH ME?! 👇

He'll be soo happy to be on a boat. So cool he is❤

What a good kitten! He let the couple onto his boat!

Just beautiful is all that needs to be said.

his little striped sweater is adorable

He’s adorable. I once had a sail boat, I would have loved his visits. I hope the 3 of you will have so much fun sailing together. He needs a little life jacket, just in case.

The pirate logo with Fred's face is a fitting tribute to this beautiful cat.

What a beautiful family, Fred is incredible, a truly sailor.

Fred is living his best life, and I love that for him🥰

Fred is living the dream! My dream. What a wonderful life you've created for him and yourselves.

I absolutely love Fred and God bless you for rescuing him and letting him be a sailor ❤😊He probably is a reincarnated sailor 😂😂

Fred is so lucky to have parents like that . May god forever bless this loving family ...

May Fred the cat continue to enshrine happiness & joy to all of you. Thank you for sharing Fred through this video !!! :)

What a wonderful story, thanks bunches for sharing & Fred looks like my Gingerbread

A cat knows no boundaries!! The neighbors yard is just an extension to the one they live in!!! And a fence means nothing!! LOL 😂!!!

When he is going to tie off the boat with his mighty strentgh is is adorable.

Aww that’s so cute! His little sailor outfit is just adorable!

I remember that girl from below deck! The cat story is so cute😍

It's a wonderful story ❤❤❤

We've had 9 cats over 35 years...they all found us. It's true...they find you. I'm sure there's a song there.

Oh my gosh can we take a minute to admire Fred's polo shirts? 😻

He literally enriched their lives this is so beautiful ❤

so precious

That cat makes you this couple a complete family

This is so cute. I used to have an uncle Fred. Go luck on convincing Fred that you want to be his new parents. God Bless You Both on adopting Fred and giving him a new home.Sincerely Linda McCartney a lady who loves all kitties.

He is just so cute with a level of curiosity that's off the scale!

I loved this story 😢

Wat een mooi verhaal be safe on the water

Priceless ❤

What a great guy!

Every harbor should have a Fred!! What a cutie.

Fred is AWESOME!! Get that boy back on a boat where he belongs being an Ambassador for "boat cats". 😍

What a great cat 🐈 Fred is!

❤️❤️❤️

Fred with his little sailors hoodie is the cutest thing I've seen online in awhile 😍

This cat has had a much better life than I have, and I ain't even mad at him.

This is so cute I had to get up and show my daughter she hates me to knock on her door but when she opened it and saw what I showed her everything was okay LOL😍😍

What a cutie! Fred looks to be full of purrsonality. Loved that clip of him making biscuits as a kitten! I hope he continues to live a happy life with his humans.

On land or sea, Fred is the man!

I would give my life for this absolutely heart melting sea faring feline

What an absolute star! He so reminds me of our ‘time share’ friend, Timmy-Ginge! We became his ‘other’ home, and through him we met his wonderful family! Cat’s certainly have a serious job to do. Keep up the good work Fred!

My cats and I will be watching all of Captain Fred’s Adventures ❤

LOL! He does own every boat in the harbor. It’s his territory.

It is awesome he has the ability to effortlessly adjust to life on land.

This is such an adorable story...too cute. ❤❤❤

Heart sees ❤️!! Fred appears to be more human than most people!! That is a very special and powerful connection you guys have. Love is above and beyond all things. Miracles and blessings to you always 🙏❤

What a beautiful cat .. with beautiful humans ❤

About 7 years ago we had a massive thunderstorm roll through overnight here in GA. I took my dog out to the bathroom the following morning and there was a cat sitting on our front porch, curled up on the chairs. I just assumed he was seeking shelter from the storm. Gorgeous thing - jet white with deep blue eyes. Several hours later I gave him a can of tuna fish (I wasn’t sure what else to give him, as I’d never had a cat before). He stayed there happily, curled up in my lap and went belly up. I took him to the local vet afterwards, telling them he didn’t have a collar, figuring they could scan for a chip. No such luck, but apparently he had been neutered at some point. They assumed he was part of a catch and release program or something. He never left. “Lucky” has now been with us going on 7 1/2 years, and is best friends with our dogs. Sleeps with them in their dog beds, naps with them on the couch, eats their food and goes out when they do. I’m not sure he understands at this point he isn’t a dog, to be honest. That said? He’s the most sweet, gentle animal I’ve ever met. Sometimes they just pick you.

This is one of the coolest stories I've seen 😊 Right on Fred! 😻

Talk about SOULMATES xD 💓🥰💓🥰💓💓🥰💓🥰💓💓🥰💓🥰💓💓🥰💓🥰💓💓🥰💓🥰

I absolutely adore cats named Fred. I have a cat named Fred and he’s very much a Fred. This cat is certainly a Fred too.

Fred keeping the centuries-old naval tradition of the ship cat alive

His little prance when he saw the new boat was too cute!

This video made my day - loved it. My two cats Buddy & BooBoo loved it. They are avid birdwatchers too.

I’m a dog person mostly, but I absolutely loved the cats I had, super fun animals!!!! I miss them!!!

Fred is such a cutie pie!!
