You ever see a cat skeleton up in a tree?

But then again, once seldom sees a kitten up an aluminum mast :-)

I saw one try once.
VERY frustrated cat!

My temporary dock neighbor has a large, black cat. He tells me that he
spends most of the time anchored out and I wonder about the cat. Does
one take the cat for a run ashore? Maybe let it loose for the night so
it can see the kitty sights? Singing loud songs and fighting?

Cheers,

Climbing boots will not crush even slightly. Cowboy boots are designed
to go in stirrups.

You are NOT wearing those on MY deck, sonny!

I have a pair of steel-toed work/hiking boots with light (almond)
colored soles that do not seem to mark. My climbing rig has nice wide
footboards, so I could theoretically go up barefoot comfortably, but
the opportunity to smash or sever toes would be great.



Yeahbut - he was talking Cowboy boots - probably with spurs.

(people DO wear spurs around here)

No one is talking Cowboys anything today~
