Thoughts From Marty Kitty Himself

In All Meow Glory
Meow from the summit of Mount Washington!
I don’t know what the big deal is, but all of the sudden, folks have begun to trek up to see me in droves! Purr-haps it’s something to do with the warmer weather, but from my purr-spective, it must be my radiant fur coat, irresistible yellow-green eyes, and delightful mug that shines in the summer sunlight. But I’ll let you be the judge of that, when you come up and visit me at the Observatory!
This kitty hasn’t had much on his plate (or in his bowl) since the last time we spoke, except of course for the usual abundance of sleep time, playtime with my minion observers, and general lounging amidst my living quarters.
So, if you’re in the White Mountain area, and cat-templating an exciting excursion to make, come on up to the summit of Mount Washington, and if you’re a member of the Observatory, schedule a tour! And maybe, just maybe, if you’re lucky enough, you could catch a glimpse of this pretty kitty.
If you’re not a member, it’s worth it just to see more of me and my stunning self, as well as other benefits that those humans find quite interesting.
And meow it’s time for another snack, a cat nap, and maybe a trip to the couch!
Marty, Summit Cat
