Cats On The Trail?

“From the Frontier House website:

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/frontierhouse/frontierlife/essay3.html

"Many families brought along household pets on their journeys. During one 1850 wagon train, a cat saved its owners from starvation by providing it with a freshly killed rabbit each morning."

(I think they're goofy)”

“guess they werent into eating #&%!$'s.”

“That's easy for you to say....”

“It was a mouthfull tho...”

“No Cats-No Cats-No Cats-No Cats”

“Meow!”

“...nothing like #&%!$ on the trail....”

“I wonder how Micah feels about cats on the trail? LNT = LCH???”

“Ya stole the words right out my mouth tarabull.”

“scary, eh?”

“Let Cats Hike!

LOL”

“we had a guinea pig that would catch us grubworms....”

“I wouldn't put it past my dad, he brings that thing everywhere... biking, to work, shopping, he's probably even brought that thing snowmobiling, and I know we've had a cat on a canoe trip a few years back...

so can you get cat packs? or just let them eat mice along the way. Think a cat would hike very well? lol”

“Didn't someone thru hike the AT with his cat on top of his pack once? Many mice ran scared in the shelters that year.”

“I've read of AT thru-hikers taking cats. Most ran off or had to be carried on the backpack.”

“For some reason, skully's post brought this movie quote to memory:

Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!”

“Yep. That's what gave me the idea to post it.”

“Well Sarabelle and Gizmo didn't keep that chipmunk from eating a hole in my hat last summer at Montanapalooza, so yeah, I'd take a cat!”

“Ah. Great minds in sync again.”

“G*d geeks are skeery sometimes.”

“Bit, you are just full of crap like that, aren't you? ;)

He's like that on a hike too folks.
Trivia King!”

“Keeps the jocks on their toes.”

“I had to go to the IMDb to get the exact wording though...

A friend once called me the world's largest repository of useless knowledge. This was before the Internet, though.”

“That's funny. My first husband called me that once.”

“I knew a guy like that in college. He litterally read encyclopedias for fun”

“Wow. Skeery.”

“Oh, I read encyclopedias for fun too, when I was a kid. I'd pick up a volume and skim until I found a topic that interested me.”

“Yeah, I read through the 1972 version of World Book encyclopedia when I was 9. What can I say? It was Michigan, it was winter, I was bored.”

“I had the '68, I think.”

“I went thru a period when TV was banned from our house by my parents. The ban lasted a couple of years. Encyclopedia reading happened all the time.

What amazes me is bit's ability to remember all this stuff. He's quite an interesting fellow to camp with.”

“It's a mixed blessing, believe me.”

“Cats on the trail WTF?????????

8|”

“I di the exact same thing in the same place with the same books. Michigan winter, Mom wouldn't let me go out to play, so I read the '72 World Books for fun! WOw, we seem to be very similar.
EEEK!”

“Encyclopedias will soon be considered relics, if they aren't already. The internet has virtually (pun intended) wiped out the need for them. I bet if y'all still have your sets, they'll be worth money some day.”

“Used to have a cat that used to go fishing with me as a kid...It would swim too. Whenever we took it to the ocean it would have the bestest time digging and pouncing around in the sand. Whenever we took it to the lakes it would play in the water.”

“I was thinking of "cats" ala beatnick! :-)”

“Well the cats on the trail and the lexan spoon....”

“dirtyoldman, if you eat the mushrooms on the trail you might just see the cow jump over the moon”

“My ex-wife and I took our cat with us once. He ran off and did his thing. I refused to carry him. In the morning, he went out and then returned with a chipmunk.”

“LOL @ DOM! I'm gonna have that tune in my head all morning.”

“My cat drives my dogs nutz, rubbing up against them with her motor running.....
I would have to leave her home due she may get some Cat Scratch Fever in the wilderness and go after Pepe' Le Pew”

“My cat Buzz likes water. He'll bring me fish, oysters and clams, crayfish and the like. He brought me a mudflipper and left it on the hot, sunny August driveway...dried out and is rock hard and flat, almost like it petrified. I thought it wass hilarious, so I tied a ribbon around it's tail and now use as a Christmas tee ornament.”

“ah... Christmas in Florida!”

“And you can get freeze-dried mice, I think. People feed them to their snakes.

YUM”

“Great idea Tilt, and in the morning you'll find a half-eaten freeze dried mouse right in front of the door of your tent!”

“I was living in some apartments, oh, twenty years ago or so, and the woman who lived next door made the mistake of feeding a feral cat that lived in a field next to the complex. Every Sunday morning, there was a headless rabbit outside her door. Amazing.”

“LMAO.....I have one that catches praying mantis....one time she was snooping in the grass with her nose then looked up and this mantis was hanging on her face. She didnt know what to do lol”

“See what I mean Treebait. Skeery.



Free, that sounds absolutely adorable.”

“I had a one eyed epilitic cat once and he was outside in the grass and found a bird that wasn't afraid of him. He walked right up to it and licke it on the head and decided it wasn't tasty. Good thing too as the bird dropped over dead about 5 minutes later.”

“LMAO !!!”
