Cat Tangerinne photo Tangerine
She looks like a cat but based on her wacky personality we're not actually sure what she is.

cat Cupcake Cupcake
Mysteriously showed up in our barn one morning. The barn is no place for her. She is definitely a house cat through and through.

cat Alice photo Alice
Alice is our sole barn cat due to the fact that she will not tolerate any other felines in her barn! On the other hand, she sat on my hands and "helped" while I was giving a healing treatment to one of the pigs.
