Cats
Rocky AKA Rocky Azlan. A very special kind soul. |
Tangerine She looks like a cat but based on her wacky personality
we're not actually
sure
what she is. |
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.
|
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.
