Farm cats (and kittens)

[ACEngineering]

So all being well this little bundle will be joining our family in June

So any name suggestions welcome as we cant decide!

She will be joining our Ginger Nina called Ruby (also a Girl cat!)

one suggestion was Bella, but I don't fancy shouting that out down the street cause together it may sound like Rubella

Took a while to get them all in the same shot.. ('herding cats!!')
Left to right...
Granny Cat - play fighting with Wilbur as usual, Daddy Cat, Mummy Cat. There is also a rather bedraggled New Cat, who looks identical to Wilbur but is very feral and appeared on the scene about 6 weeks ago causing a lot of fighting. See start of the thread for their history!

Lola up to no good
She likes to sit on top of portable aircon unit which is a pain cause it has touch buttons on top and she keeps messing it up turning it off and on, adjusting the temp or the timer functions

This is Bongo. Although he doesn't look much like a farm cat on this picture, he is an actual killer He brings rats and rabbits into the porch, or eats them near the trampoline on the lawn if the weather's nice He has all the farm cat credentials too. His mum was a farm cat at my cousin's place, and his dad was a smooth talking Bengal from the local town who was just passing through
In summer, we don't see an awful lot of him (too many rabbits to catch) but now the weather's on the turn, he comes in at 6.30am for a day on the beanbag, then disappears about 4 for a night on the tiles

Well, unfortunately Bongo went to the cat sanctuary in the sky just before Christmas
He was a great cat and I doubt we'll ever top him.

However, you've got to try, so this is Herbie

His owner was going into hospital and needed him away, so he's ours now

Jeez, those eyes and that look!

I'm betting rats n mice will be turned to stone, with just one look.

We're 3 weeks in with him and although he has the loudest purr in the world when you stroke him, there's definitely a hint of psycho about him.
He sat in the living room window for a full 6 hours yesterday, staking the pet rabbits out in the front garden

Sorry about Bongo

I also have a cat who’s incredibly crusty. She’s beautiful and not overly timid and people always remark how lovely she is. Then they try and pet her or pick her up She just had another unsuspecting victim yesterday But she’s a wonderful cuddle when she decides she wants to be.

She got a cat tree for Christmas but got banished upstairs with it. She thought it was the perfect perch to hook you from if you walked past in the living room.

Wilbur sits on the steps to the pigeon loft and bats me in the face when I walk by in the passage way in the dark.
