Kittens and Chick

Took these photos tonight of the kittens and their friendly chicken.   The tabby cat is from last spring (1.5 years old).

Happily playing in the barn.  We were hoping to fill the barn with cattle today but the prices were too high.  We'll have to wait 'till prices come down or possibly a private sale.  When we do get the cattle, though, I'll be worried about the kittens.  They're friendly with older cats, a chicken, 2 dogs and 1 lone calf and lots of people.  I'm sure that they will try to befriend a herd of cows, too and that's kind of scary!

Two dogs.

Lone calf.

Then we rest...

Good-night!

Pretty Kitty

This little cat wandered up to our house a few days ago and ran right into our house, no fear at all.  He gets along with our 2 dogs, does not cause any problems with our other 4 cats (3 of them are trouble-makers, but he isn't!).  He is such a pretty kitty and his eyes are an unbelievable shade of blue!  He's very thin and when you pet him, you can feel his spine through his skin.  Surprisingly, his fur does not seem to be infested with bugs, at least not to the touch.  He just had to have been someone's pet or else he would have more of a skittish, feral personality.
