You often see dogs jumping through piles of leaves, but cats also enjoy chasing the falling leaves and messing up the raked piles (as well as catching the rake too).

After several very wet and stormy days, this mother cat and her kittens are probably glad to have a dry place in the barn to snuggle in.

A few days ago, Tippy, the star of my children’s book died. Every cat has a different personality and I think Tippy’s was warped from birth when a dog carried her around in its mouth. She wanted to be close to me, but not cuddly even though I bottled fed her when she was only eight days old. She didn’t like it when I was gone overnight or if I locked her out of the den so I could work in peace and she showed her displeasure by pooping in my bathroom sink!

With a sunny afternoon which was finally above freezing, my cats enjoyed venturing out into the snow. They actually had too much fun as Stripe took off across the snow faster than I could and she would to the little hop and skip (plus a smirk) whenever I got close to catching her.

With the temperature climbing into the teens after lunch, my cats enjoyed the warmer conditions to play in the snow. Trouble, my male, was the great hunter as he tried to stomp on the mouse under the snow, but the ‘fearless’ male jumped back whenever the mouse squeaked and so the mouse didn’t have anything to worry about.

The cats have found that the truck tires are warmer than the concrete on days like today when it doesn’t get above freezing. They would be warmer if they just stayed in the barn but they think they might get more attention by the house instead.

Two of my cats have turned two today, but they sure look different than when they were two months. And the cream colored one called Trouble is definitely in that terrible two stage of mischief!

The cat isn’t quite sure what to make of the pig as she was trying to snuggle one second and hissing the next!

One thinks of kittens in the spring, but new batches of kitten arrive through out most of the months, like this kitten born in early summer or my former house cat, Dutch, who was born on this day in August.

The barns are filled with new kittens and some are adventuring out and causing trouble but this evening they better seek shelter inside the barn because of the approaching storm.
