Cats

The word is out - we have Fleet Farm cat food in our barn. Cats have been coming from miles around - or so it seems as the feeder seems to allow 25# bags of food to evaporate in a week.

We do have our share of cats. Every spring there are a few more born. The kids really delight in naming the kittens. The theme this spring was Lewis and Clark.

Two orange - named Lewis and Clark. The friendlier one is named for the one of the explorers who didn't have depression problems (can't recall which).
One black - York of course!
One tiger striped - Charbonneau - although it turns out that Charbonneau is a girl so try to make a feminine version of the name
One beautiful tortoise-shell female - Sacagawea
A very small kitten - Sacagawea's baby, Pomp

We do have more on the way - there are always plenty of mice to eat - in addition to the tasty, generic, Fleet Farm food. Want a cat? Choose your color.
