I guess it depends on whether the cat is working 1st or 3d shift...
I’m fortunate that the county I live in is rural, so trails are everywhere in the woods by the river and creeks-but lots of people out here besides me hike on their days off, and are out in the woods in the late morning/early afternoon-you can also get mowed down by mountain bikers on the weekends...
I’m in Silicon Valley — most people think this is wall-to-wall people and concrete, but 10 minutes up the road I can be in remote canyons with no buildings to be seen and fifteen miles of wilderness to the ocean. It’s pretty remote and rural from here to the coast with lots of chaparral, manzanita, madrone, sage and redwoods. And lions.
