Farm cats (and kittens)

[Gator]

Now am jealous he's a cracker,that's just what I want, like this big fella he's on my wish list. Keep me posted on his progress please

 

[Gong Farmer]

I don't think you would be jealous if you saw him. He was less than a quarter of the price of his siblings because he has a corkscrew tail. It's kinked in three or four places and looks like a hairy pig's tail. Doesn't bother him, and apparently it's a common congenital abnormality.
I wanted to take a pic but it's so hard with a black cat, you can't see any detail on him. I reckon he must be made of dark matter.

Dorah, possibly the fattest, laziest cat in the world?

She was adopted when a neighbour moved into town, having lived semi-feral in the woods behind the house. Aged 14 or 15 now, I don't think she can squeeze through the cat flap to get to the garden, let alone jump the fence to get into the woods.

I use the term "farm cat" loosely but it is a killer.

Wow, all those lovely pussycats are bringing back memories. In my youth I worked for an animal feed stuffs company that recycled offal and bone for high protein addition to cattle feeds. We had a number of feral cats at the plant and one kitten in particular had the most beautiful black and grey tabby markings that I had ever seen and I decided to adopt it and take it home.

Whilst the guys in the loading bay were moving bags of feed onto a waiting lorry, tabby sat with it's back to me and watched the men with the bag trucks move back and to. Like a tennis spectator, it swivelled it's head left then right as each bag truck pasted in front of it.

Me; I stealthily crept up behind said pussy cat and after several minutes interlocked my thumbs and reaching down took hold of the cat around it's mid section. Jeez; I now had a screaming, spitting, wriggling, buzz-saw in my hands and no way to put the bloody thing down safely. Bending my elbows slightly, I gently threw the cat forwards and it landed on all fours. Spinning around, the kitten gave me the most evil of looks and then scooted away.

Having learned my lesson, I then gave feral cats a wide birth but did have cats in the home in later life. In particular was Sooty, a farm cat, who came to live with us and just loved to eat crisps and help our daughter with her homework.

Pain in the arse he is. More like a dog than a cat. He follows me to work, sits in the yard for an hour or so and then walks home again.

Our Bonnie (aka Ninja Cat) watching over her territory from a stable roof. She's a great mouser. I saw her chasing a fox the other day but didn't get a photo, unfortunately.
