Name: Ickl
(continued) Location: Bloomington,
IN (USA) Story:
"...Anyway - we felt that Ickl was a nice play on IK and the fact
that he is sort of ickl-pretty....We've
had cats before and while I'd thought about the cat tree ... I never actually
built it. There was extra motivation now, tho, since, while accompanying
me hiking for my nature photography, our dogs have learned to kill things
with dispatch. Since when Ian rescued Ickl he was a toy for a violent
pit bull he (Ickl) had learned to fight rather than run. We figure it
may take 6 months to get to the point where we can leave the dogs and
Ickl unattended, and in the meantime I wanted to make sure he had a safe
high place to get to.." (see
