Cat Rags County. Cats county wide were shocked last week by a summer blizzard that dropped 15 feet of snow in 30 minutes. It was so deep that county snow crews couldn't even find their plows. An elderly couple on their way to visit their new grandkitties found themselves stranded in the countryside. Ironically they were discovered by a Cat Scout troop practicing for their merit badges in winter survival. After first erecting a cozy igloo, the team gathered wood and set out to find food. Ice fishing in Lake Cat Rags provided a bountiful catch for the seven day ordeal. The scouts will be honored today at City Hall in a ceremony where they will receive their merit badges. The remaining fish will be distributed to the needy, compliments of the Cat Scouts.
