Having a Kayak on top of the car has turned out to be a pretty handy thing.
There’s the most obvious “It’s there just in case I get near some water” usage.
And, of course, when driving around town, the “Cool Factor”.
But in the driveway, it’s
A Foul Weather Feline Feeding Station (that the Dog can’t raid)!
This Portly Pet needs Assistance, though. I slip him onto his side, and, with slight exertion, STUFF him under the gunwale. (Do kayaks have gunwales?)
He can get himself out …
 … but really, why should he?
