Oh don't eeeven get me started.
Buttermilk Country.
You know how the landings are all nice and sandy?
CATBOX! Like, the most beautiful catbox in the world.
Little craters and mounds all over the place and cats, cats, cats EVERYWHERE!
The f*#king meowing was so deafening I had to double up on beanies.
One cat straight jumped into one of Chinchin's bitchin chalk buckets and pissed in there!
Cats have some nerve.
I wish other cat owners would do the right thing and leave them at home like I do.

The crag is no place for cats!
Here's a story.
I was at Mt Charleston, the way hyped limestone area near Vegas that at the time held many of the hardest or hyped sportclimbs in the US. This was mid-late 90s.
Big name climbers had to go there because it was killer and a requisite for resumé building.
One such flavor of the month poster boy and his oft photo'd girlfriend(ironically now one of the most beautiful trad climbing patagucci gals) were there in their motor home and they traveled with a cragcat.
First cragcat i'd ever met. Cool!
Anyway, the next day we hiked up to the cave with cragcat and it was all shˇts and giggles. Doggin steep drilled pockets in the mountains.
Then there's some commotion comimg up the trail- a boombox. Then a couple dogs. Pitbulls.
It was one of the hot local developers.
Chaos ensued when the Pits saw the cat and pretty soon the dogs had treed the cat in an 80ft snag.
Let me tell you, watching a 5.14 climber trying to climb a tall dead pinetree to retrieve cragcat was classic!
And the exchanges between posterboy and local were hillarious.
Cragcat was cool but that's where it all started for me...
Leave the cats at home.
My cats AT HOME

Was climbing one weekend with the Original Crag Cat - Herb Laeger's Panther. Panther would roam all day and night. In the morning there would be rows of dead mice lined up from which you were to choose one or more for breakfast. One weekend we get back to the car after climbing at Courtwright Resevoir but the cat is a no show. We wait for a couple hours but still a no show. Three weeks later the cat shows up at the Wishon Store!!!! Now that was a crag cat!

Catchy idea: Kittie litters for any occasion, rescues or just sitting there Chesire-ing.
If a cat was inclined to try climbing shoes, which brand? Puma?
Miaows from Merced, who really does love kitties, despite the nickname.
Snow Leopard, dude.
