Thanks, TD. Some good ideas. I am starting to get an idea what may work. She might tolerate a few splashes but doesn't want to marinate her hind quarters in a water puddle, and no waders-2" max should do it. So that leaves some kind of slightly elevated mesh seat equivalent to the plastic one you have in your picture. Now my hunt for such a creature starts. Maybe a doughnut inner tube seat with mesh bottom. Lets see what I can come up with....

[#0000ff]In the past I have tried several things to raise the seating. One option is heavy duty foam...like a 4" piece of firm mattress foam. But, it still compresses and it does soak up water. Other options are plastic coated boat cushions. But...slippery when wet and you can slip out of the seat. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have also tried using a small inner tube. If you lash it into place and stuff something in the center for comfort it will work too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I currently add a molded seat on the top of my foam seat in my Fat Cat...mostly for back support. But the molded bottom adds to the comfort too. I am thinking that you could add a thin layer of foam, with the contour chair on top and it might do the trick. (see pic)[/#0000ff][/quote]
