9 lives challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden near Highway 99 a few miles north of Yuba City. Take the Eager Rd off-ramp to the west, then turn north on the frontage road. There is parking across the street from the hide. And be sure to note the logging requirements below.

************LOGGING REQUIREMENTS************

While traveling with the prof, I like to look out the window at cattle and horses. If they are not available, I will settle for cats. Your task is to find 20 caches, each with the word "cat" in the title. Plurals and possessives are acceptable, as are compound words such as cattail, catwalk, copycat, and wildcat.

There is no time limit, you may already have found the required caches. When logging this cache, list your requisite cache-finds as shown below. And feel free to tell me if you own a cat, or if you enjoyed this challenge...don't let the cat get your tongue.
