I don't have pictures. We only have barn cats. The number varies over time. They come and go. We put some feed out but they have to hunt, and they do. Some get friendly, some don't. Sometimes a young kitten will get adopted by someone who wants a pet. A few would love to be spoiled rotten house cats but none of ours are gonna live inside, EVER. They have shelter in the barn and sheltered places around the homestead. Water is easy to come by. They can come and go as they please. They're not pets. But I won't tolerate one that is mean or aggressive.

Pics are not necessary to like and care for kitties.

My grandmother was always appalled that we let a cat live in the house. "Animals belong in the barn," she would say. She was born in 1884, in Texas.

Sometimes I think Thumper would like to be a barn cat. She looks out the sliding doors in back and wants so bad to go play with the bunnies and quail in the yard. :D
 
Anybody remember this? "Fat Cat Capsizing."

I knew Richard back in the day. Willoughby (the cat) ran for mayor of Key West, and got 37 votes. :D

Oh, oh. Thumper is getting spayed at the end of the month, finally. I told her today and she was not very happy. We've been waiting a year for this new free service to start. It's limited to local residents. Currently it's a 120 mile r/t to the SPCA in the next town for their $50 clinic, and an all day thing plus $20 in gas. Locally vets want $300-800, yeah, for a cat. We love her, but that's not happening.

I don't think any of us are looking forward to this. If I can I'll take pictures for your enjoyment. ;) Will get my face shield and welding leathers ready...
