Meowing for Milk


Barney and Annabelle have come around since they first arrived. They now understand the significance of milking time and eagerly show up to check out the spoils. In the photo Barney came directly out of the rafters, not stopping to wipe away the cobwebs on his head. Annabelle enjoys the milk until Barney appears, then she allows herself to be pushed aside by her companion. Tonight for some reason Barney enjoyed his fill of milk then wandered away, and when Annabelle investigated she avoided drinking from the feed scoop / milk bowl. Perhaps she did this because the scoop had been thoroughly cleaned by Luther's tongue the prior evening. For some reason these cats are not crazy about our dogs. At least they no longer seem to be bothered by a canine presence, of which I am glad.

It's nice having cats around again. I like being meowed at in the barn and sought out to dispense a bit of kitty love. Plus, both of these cats have richly satisfying, throaty purrs.
