Another Camping Trip

[Houmes]

Like Lincoln, Hemingway loved cats, especially six-toed cats, after being first given such a cat by a ship's captain. Six-toed cats are sometimes referred to as "Hemingway Cats", and at the Hemingway house still live about fifty descendants of his cats (did you notice the one in the photo above?). On the counter of the museum shop sat the biggest, furriest cat I've ever seen (the Lincolns' would have loved it, I'm sure):


Beautiful house, incredible history, and the cats are fascinating, but if you go there--or even walk within a block of it--wear a nose plug, because I don't think they've picked up after the cats since Hemingway left the place.
