Little Izzy gets brave after a meal... she will hop out of the boat and walk on the finger dock next to Wild Blue. We keep an eye on her, and she rarely goes further than where the finger dock meets the main dock.
Joan made steak and baked potatoes tonight, and we had just finished supper, when Joan looked out the window and said, "Jim, you need to go get your cat!"
Izzy is my cat when she throws up, catches a critter, or goes on a marathon grooming session in the middle of the night. Make no mistake about it, Joan and Izzy picked each other, and there is a very special bond there. That bond aside, I hopped out of the boat to see what was going on... no cat on our finger dock... a couple docks down, there was a woman with two little fat-rat looking dogs, looking startled. About that time, Izzy came streaking around the corner.
"I'm sorry if my cat bothered you - I didn't see her get out of the boat!"
She said, "Oh, she just startled us - she was crouching like she was going to attack!"
I laughed... probably not the appropriate response, but little Izzy is the sweetest little kitty ever. "Oh, no - she is sweet. She would never attack. She does stand her ground, though."
Iz strutted back to the boat. There is a sign on the docks that says Dogs Must Be On A Leash; it doesn't say anything about cats. Especially sweet little 7 pound kitties.
Seriously, does this face look threatening??

After supper, Joan and I walked to the nearby ice cream shop for dessert. The owner has a pit bull who carried a Frisbee when he came out. Joan played with the pooch when we finished our Strawberry Dream. I'm pretty sure the pit bull would not have been intimidated by little Izzy...

Very cool kitty Izzy is and to have a cat on a boat is even cooler!!
Enjoying your Blog daily-- Thanks for sharing...
Thanks HRB. Izzy is family - she goes where we go. She is a good traveler, and doesn't fuss going from the house to the boat to the RV.
