The Cats .... Continued
A Towering Form

Shadow remarked, “Great planning for the community would take place here with the council. It held their reference works, and artifacts.”

“On these shelves could be found volumes of ancient wisdom from the elders and generations long past. The shelves also contained articles used by the ancients, such as handcrafted bowls and spoons and cups and garments to fit their large forms; and many rocks of different colors, shapes and powers were placed there for safekeeping. There are stories of the relative of the great Mammoth that once roamed here,” Shadow finished proudly.

It was apparent by the fossil impressions left in the sandstone cliffs that a great, large animal form was once here. Some of the community structures with large rock-lined lower levels were constructed on such sites.

Shadow emphasized, “The Keanutes towered over most other forms of life of their day, except for the Wooly beast. The Wooly beast was nearly the size of its cousin the great Mammoth. Its coat was one of the finest strains of wool to be found on any continent. These large beasts roamed freely and befriended the Keanutes. In many ways they helped the Keanutes to become the strong society that they were. On display, as well was the wool that was trimmed from their coats once a year. Dyed in a splendor of colors of blues and purples, gold and yellows and reds. Some strands of wool were kept in their natural color of ivory white, and spun and woven, along with the other colors, into beautiful garments, wall tapestries, and bed coverlets, all of a gorgeous texture”.
