Don't have a hiking dog? How 'bout a cat?

My vote for coolest cat name EVER! Only those that venture off of the superhighways of the White Dot/Cross trails at Mt. Monadnock will know this reference.

Interesting thread. We just got kitten, my first pet ever, and I've been wondering if he'll take to the outdoors, especially because he'll be raised as a house cat. Right now, at 9 weeks old, he's afraid of everything.

Here is a link to the hiking cat story that was on NECN the other day. It is hard to watch and not smile!

Thanks for posting the link to the NECN video.

The narrator says that the owners are going to be hiking with Toonces in New Hampshire this summer.

If anyone finds out where/on what trails they'll be, post to this thread -- I have got to see this cat for myself!

He had to have a Monadnock name, since while working at the booth there, a hiker from Hillsboro drove up with paw prints on his truck. Long story short- I was at his house picking up a kitten the next day.

Tried to figure out a short version of his name for daily use, no luck. Muncy Trail leads up to Kiasticiticus rock and has always been a favorite.

It's hard to imagine my cats doing ANYTHING they didn't think of themselves.
And I do know there are plenty of animals out there just waiting for a chance to make a lunch of them.
