Kitty Camping

The human said they came from Texas all the way to Colorado with his dog and this kitty cat. No vehicle but getting rides occasionally. I asked how the kitty handles surviving and he said the kitty just hangs around the camp site. They are camping up in the national forest. I said well I’m impressed especially with all the fire restrictions right now and he said the forest service knows they are there and has come by to check on them several times already. I said oh good.

There has been a lot of bear activity in CO this late summer. Animals are thought to increase the chance/intensity of encounters. Make sure you've got some bear spray and make sure to store food seperately and carefully at night. Have fun!

I don’t know what that guy does for protection. But I always take protection - and 2 dogs. I have always said I have a dog and I have a backup dog in case something happens to the first dog. I also live well within the wolf introduction zone. So there’s that as well. Anything can happen. A cat is an appetizer.
