Cats in Colorado

Here is a post for Hardingfele and all the other cat lovers out there: it is about our feline hosts in Colorado. Their names were Iggy, Izzy, and Itty and they lived at the Shack-Toe, although Izzy had moved next door but was still being taken care of by our human hosts. We really didn't see much of her, but we saw plenty of Iggy! He liked to come into our room at night and walk all over us. We put a backpack in front of the door to block him, but he was highly motivated and still pushed it open, so we had to put a suitcase in front of the door. Whenever he came outside, the wren that was nesting in the birdhouse above the Shack-Toe's door would yell at him. He was very affectionate and loved to cuddle with us. Itty wasn't scary-looking at all; she had big angelic eyes and long fur. But when a fox wandered into the yard, she ran after it, all puffed up, and the fox took off in terror. She also fiercely attacked a moth. Did we feel safe with Itty around to protect us!
