When I was fairly new to geocaching, I saw a map of the “Harris Yak” caches at Harris Lake. The South has wildlife of all descriptions, but I was naively unaware of the presence of yaks, especially at a local lake. Intrigued, I asked a fellow geocacher what the heck a ‘yak’ was; he slowly and cautiously replied,
“Uh, a KAY-yak, maybe?”

I currently have 4 cats. The other morning my 2-year-old went into the kitchen and shouted: “Mommy! Der’s CAT YAK in here! Ewww!” And hence another type of yak was born.

I am no stranger to Cat Yak, finding it with my bare feet in the night (those of you with cats can relate), discovering its petrified remains behind the sofa, and watching in fascination as a cat uses his yak radar to yak only on carpets, never hardwood or tile.
Each Cat Yak is named after a kitty I love. You seek unique containers; thanks to sub32 for helping to lend substance to this idea with a similar series of his. Bring a pen or pencil; no room to trade. POISON IVY is definitely a possibility.
