5 Fabulous Floating Homes That Let You Hit the High Seas Without Ever Leaving Your Living Room Unlike houseboats, floating homes are not meant to be moved around and are typically built on a floating foundation.

Spring is springing, temps going into the 70s today and the hibernating residents of the floating homes are making their first appearances enjoying the sun, doing spring cleaning, catching up on deferred maintenance and more. I walk daily the half mile length of Jantzen Beach Moorage, the second largest floating home marina in North America, and I saw Paul H for the first time working on his chains, Duckie's Paul of the multicolored home regaling in the sun, hadn't seen him since last fall and others. What a wonderful community we live in and it is coming alive!

No, that isn’t a bird or a plane - it’s a my very naughty cat, Finn.

This summer he learned a new escape trick. I always lure the cats inside with the promise of wet food when it gets dark. Finn scarfs down his dinner, then flys upstairs, juts his paw under the screen door, pulls it open, and leaps onto my neighbours floating home from my railing. From there, he trots down my neighbours stairs and into the freedom of the night.

Sometimes, he just wants more food or treats. In that case, he comes right back and sits in front of the gangplank, just out of reach, until I shake the treat bag to get him back in (ensuring the top door is closed and locked!).

Cats.
