Geocache Description:

Micro attached to a guadian.

As you may have guessed by our geocaching name, we are cat people. We have shared our home with cats all of our married lives. They have been such a constant source of entertainment and wonder that we can’t imagine not having a cat or two to wait upon. The 9 Lives series is dedicated to the nine cats we’ve had the pleasure of living with over the past 35+ years. The series consists of:
Patches, Princess, Tiki,
Snoops, Gizmo, Stripe
Asbach, Kelsa; and Spot.
There is a bonus cache, Snuffleupagus, who lived with us for a short time while we were posted to Germany. You need to get a number from eight of the nine 9 Lives caches to find Snuffles (the bonus cache).

Princess
On our second day in the Comox Valley (we were still living in a hotel), the SPCA was having a raffle at the Comox Mall. There were some kittens in cages and CK bought a ticket. When she asked when we would find out if we won the kitten, she was told the tickets were for the quilt they were raffling - we could have the kitten. We dashed around picking up cat stuff and returned to pick up a kitten within an hour. There was only one kitten left and she was gorgeous. We figured that if she had as good a life as Patches, she’d be living like a princess – so that became her name.

- Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
- There is, incidentally, no way of talking about cats that enables one to come off as a sane person.
- Cats can be cooperative when something feels good, which, to a cat, is the way everything is supposed to feel as much of the time as possible.
