So last week a truck pulled in, and farmer T got out and asked real nice if I had any new cats that had showed up to join my barn cats, surprisingly the answer is no, we almost always have at least one momma cat that shows up and think my farm is a great place to stop but so far this year, no new strays..

So who was she looking for.. and I got a list of six colors and patterns to watch for.. what the ? you are missing six cats over the past two months, now her cats are farm cats but she feeds them well, and her children adore those cats, there are times I have drove by and her little ones look like pied pipers with the kitty’s taking a walk with them.

 I personally was missing two cats over the past month or so, but they were strays and ghost cats, so sometimes they move on or you don’t see them much for awhile.

She said that Old Farmer Man down the road had also lost chickens, and one of his cats in the past two months, had I lost any birds, and I had not, but I showed her Hank and explained that I was no longer letting them out without Hank and he seemed to be doing a fine job.

Well, now flyin’ farmer(he has his own light weight) up the road stopped in to ask if I had seen one of their house kitties, which I have not..but I did see the red head that has been causing all kinds of trouble out and about.. got it figured out yet?

Anyone remember me writing about why I got Hank the big Gander this spring, it was because every spring, I have a battle with the local fox, who thinks my free ranging chickens are good pickings, well this year, I am not losing chickens personally but I think I have got a pretty good idea of what has been happening, and its upsetting everyone, we like our chickens/ducks etc but we adore our kitties..

Now to let the local’s know what I think, and see what can be done.
