Sitting high up on a pallet, the kitten is surveying its surroundings and probably deciding which litter mate to pounce on from above as the other kittens play on the ground.
Sparky the Surveyor
While a majority of the kittens at the farm are born in the spring and early summer, some come early when the snow is on the ground or in the fall. My long time cat Dutch who died last year, was born on this date thirteen years ago. One of the new kittens has similar markings and likes to climb, and time will tell if it can get back down by itself as that is one thing Dutch had trouble doing correctly.
Eyeing Up The Climb
As one batch of kittens start exploring outside as they race through the grass and learn how to climb fences, another batch of kittens where born in the barn. So soon the older group will just become ‘cats’ and the attention will be on the new ‘kittens’ since the babies are always so cute (even if they are marked ugly)!
Board Walking Lesson
Just like children, the batch of kittens at the farm were outside last night trying to catch the snowflakes coming down. But besides catching snowflakes, they were also chasing each other and running under my vehicle and when the majority of the kittens are black and it was dark out, that doesn’t make for the the best combination. It is much easier to spot black kittens in the daylight on the white snow.
