Cat on a Camping Mat

It is a well known fact, cats rule the internet as well as the homes of the people they choose to spend their lives with.

 

How could we resist including a cat in this peaceful scene?

 

This happy tabby has spent the day chasing free-range mice. There are not many felines who enjoy travel yet this one seems right at home in her 1947 Ken-Skill Kustom Kamper.

 

Back in the late 1960s, our family took a new kitten on a camping trip below Maroon Bells in Colorado. Baby kitty was having a ball and leaving lots of trophies in the car and camper. Most were still alive. You haven’t been camping until you have shared a sleeping bag with a field mouse.

 

It came time to go and the kitten was no where to be seen. We double checked camper, car and campsite. We kids frantically called and called. After nearly an hour, the folks decided we had to go. Five kids were crying as the car started. Almost as if on cue, kitty came out of the brush with another trophy!

Cat on a Camping Mat? Well, the title of this one is a homage to a producer colleague who crafted this.
