hi there-
Just want to say that I’ve been training my own cat, Henry James, to do avalanche rescue work as well. I leave his favorite cat toys under the eaves of the house and when the snow falls off, Henry James and I go to work. Henry James is a white Persian and many people think the long haired cats aren’t hard working but they are completely wrong. He is especially good at smelling because of his smooshed-in face characteristic of his breed. In summer, I maintain his avi skills by letting him catch mice and birds.
Keep up the good work!
