Places you can find a cat

Places you'd expect to find a cat...
  • in the house
  • in the garage
  • in the greenhouse shed
  • on the deck
  • in the barn
  • in the shop
  • under the car

Places we find the farmer cats...
  • in the front garden
  • in the back garden
  • in every hole we dig to transplant a tomato
  • in every hole we dig to transplant a pepper
  • in every hole....
  • in the onions
  • running back and forth in any trench
  • turning over every seed potato
  • digging out the seed potatoes
  • on the rototiller
  • under the rototiller
  • eating the hose
  • running away while being sprayed with the hose

 Places we've found a cat...
  • on the front seat of the car
  • kittens hiding in the wood pile in the garage
  • under the stacked hay
  • in a purposely set live trap
  • in a live trap accidentally left open in the garage (not baited)
  • in the 4" between the storm door and the front door
  • in the blackberry & black raspberry bramble
  • underneath the barn
  • in the cherry tree
  • on the dining room table.
 
The spring kitten count (crop) is up to twenty.  We've found homes for some, some we could never catch, and some have become pets. In an effort to prevent a fall crop, we've started spaying cats. It's been eventful. If you know of anyone who would like a kitten, a fixed barn cat, or a dark brown/black outdoor cat that is extremely friendly (and fixed), please let me know.
