Little Izzy is almost 20 years old now, but she nearly didn’t make it to her second birthday.
My boss came to work one morning, and found that this stray cat rode under the hood of his truck, up freeway 41, over 20 miles from Easton to North Fresno.
As we rescued it, he said,“I thought I heard a cat when I went out to get in the truck this morning.“
I was riding the Kawasaki so I wasn’t prepared to bring her home even in the saddle bag. I called my wife and she drove across town to get her.
Izzy was injured from the experience.
I thought that her pelvis was damaged and we would have to put her down, but she recovered well enough to go on all these years.
Before we got a dog, this cat would growl at any strangers that came to our front door.
Even at her age she still comes out every day to patrol the boat yard and the garden.
