This cat has definitely got a climbing gear; he is at least forty feet off the ground. Sano Community Adair County Kentucky 11-August-2019  |

Her family farm being the destination of a mule-wagon ride, this young lady insisted on me photographing a portion of her vast herd of barn cats. No matter how they fought, clawed, screeched, spit, hissed, and scratched, with more grit than a Blue Heeler, once she set out to catch one, he was going to get caught; I don't see how she had an inch of hide left on her.

This is what happens when The Cat Lady moves in your neighborhood and turns loose a few hundred cats; one of her old vagabond cats decided to raise a family in my horse barn. 30-April-2020   I asked the neighbor lady what went with the Cat Lady; she said "Oh, you mean Miss Jan ... she moved to Florida" I don't think she took a single cat with her. |

No mice left at your place then?
None at mine lately either after seeing two tiger snakes in the front and back yards last week😳😳

I had three cats — and 100 mice in the basement one winter — because two of the cats were disinterested and one thought they were toys. He’d play with them and then leave them go — sometimes upstairs so we could share in the fun.
Finally figured out how they were coming in…

No mice left at your place then? None at mine lately either after seeing two tiger snakes in the front and back yards last week😳😳 No; I have a good crop of mice. I put the Alfalfa in a tightly woven hay net so as to slow my horse from devouring it within minutes and then standing there all night with nothing to do; the hay net keeps him occupied all night, working at getting the hay out; it is kind of the same principle as peanuts in the hull and humans. I suspend the hay net by brackets on the door post. The way the door and wall are made, loose Alfalfa gets caught in between. Mice must like Alfalfa. Each time I open the door, half-a-dozen fat mice drop out on me, some going down my shirt collar and some falling down in my boots. I am not scared of mice, but I am not really fond of having them scurrying around on me in such close proximity. Did you follow scripture on the two Tiger Snakes ? your heel is supposed to strike their head. My grannies always kept a gooseneck hoe handy to chop their heads off; there was always a hoe leaned up or hanging by every door. |

I had three cats — and 100 mice in the basement one winter If you have not seen it, I highly recommend the movie "Mousehunt"; it takes something super-funny to get me to laugh, but this movie is hilarious. I especially like the scene where one of the guys is in his pajamas and reaches up into the kitchen cabinet and gets a box of cereal; cereal is sifting out a mouse-hole in the box as he carries it over to the table. I had a similar experience with a big bag of Nacho Doritos. I was in the recliner, watching Gunsmoke and eating Doritos; after a while, I realized I was getting Doritos all over my belly; I thought "how is this happening" and then I saw a big mouse-hole in my bag of Doritos. It sort of ruined the enjoyment of my Doritos after that. www.imdb.com/title/tt0119715/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1My buddy and I have watched this as much as five times consecutively; when she takes a notion she wants to watch Mousehunt, a single viewing isn't enough for her to get her fix; likewise with The Grinch and Tangled and Brave and, believe it or not, The Help. (she really likes the part where the lady fixes the special chocolate pie) |

Never saw that movie, but I’m assuming the mice won.

Another trespassing cat; I am sure he isn't up to any good. Check out that striped coon tail and those brow spots on a white cat. 30-October-2020    |
