Much too wordy for the shout out:
Close to 40 years ago Father and three sons packed a truck camper for a hunting foray. Exceptionally cozy accommodations. Entering the camper found a dining booth to the right, the table drops down, cover with back cushions to make a serviceable bunk. Accommodations for two over the truck cab. A third bunk was contrived by placing some plywood atop the back of the dining booth. It created a cozy little berth, I imagine it was what my Grandfather experienced in steerage class as they emigrated to America. My Dad, as the sole owner of our mobile domicile, claimed that berth.
My youngest brother and I rested over the cab, another brother claimed the top steerage bunk. Unbeknown to us my Mom's half grown kitten stowed away, only to be discovered when pitching camp.
The hunters among you recognize the anticipation we had for the following morning, "Opening Day"! The 'gatherers' among you may recall the same feeling on your wedding day's eve. Its the same type of feeling, difference being there are no long term side effects from hunting. The alarm went off and I was the first one up and out, barefoot, heading to my boots to step outside to the pit toilet. The toes of my right foot landing squarely in a pile of cold cat crap. In disgust, I stood on my left foot and commenced to clean the exceptionally disgusting substance from my highly offended dactyls. Fortunately, there was a roll of paper towel with in reach.
Well into the process, I heard a choking, soft 'ack ack ack'. I looked over to see my foot inches from Dad's face. He could not even draw a breath to encourage me to move my foot.
All survived, including Mom's cat, now appropriately called 'Camp Cat"

Cat poop has got to be the worst smell. Makes me want to puke just thinking about it. Funny story.
