Little Izzy the cat is now about 20 years old.
My boss rolled into work one day with this stray cat under the hood of his truck. It had made it all the way up the freeway, 20 miles from Easton to North Fresno.
We adopted it, and in spite of its injuries it recovered, and has been with us now ever since.
Before we got a dog, she used to guard the front door and growl when she smelled strangers.
Izzy sleeps a lot nowadays, but she still goes out every day to patrol the boat yard for rodents and bugs.
