Hay Mow Kitties


I got this shot last night as the girls were waiting for their dinner. They watch us running around, taking care of the sheep and goats, and must find us amusing, like watching a Benny Hill TV episode. Their world is dark and spooky, filled with pidgeons, owls, wind whistling through the boards and things that go bump in the night. Matt says they are peeing on the hay stacks. Don't know what I can do about that...I need them roaming the barn, keeping the rats at bay. When we moved here we found the concrete floor in the lower barn cracked and heaved. Chris Kupris told us the rats had undermined the floor with their vast tunnel system. The earthquake in 1986 didn't help any. So far we have only two rats - dead - and the kitties are keeping it that way. Good work!
