@seanbrown9048 Thanx for that! I love animals, I'm following a story about twin baby elephants in a preserve area set up for visitors, the mother has recruited another elephant to help, and they played in the river for the first time yesterday. I am accidentally a cat sanctuary, the people can tell us how great the economy is all they want, but reality is young couples are having to move back home or small apartments that don't allow pets, so their pets are either abandoned and they find us because we leave food on the porch for our own cats who prefer to be outside weather permitting, or I find a kitten cub left in snow deeper than it is tall, and I bring it in. Didn't mean for this to take a sad-ish turn, and it's not really, it's just life. Shelters world-wide are over-full, and I can't see these little sweeties just killed, so I'm a cathouse. I'll quit now, I could go on about our animal friends..... I didn't know I needed cat friends, but now that I have them, it's quite nice. My sister has always kept a couple dozen cows she spends about an hour a day with, so I'm not the only nut in the family.

@seanbrown9048 We currently have a pair of abused calicos I confiscated. You won't believe - the dumb somebiitch who had them got so addicted to the internet he got into trouble with the sheriff for not bothering to feed his cows, some died, and then neighbors rounded them up and took them, and I took the cats. He ended up losing a century farm! Lives in a hotel now, still addicted to the web. Those pretty girls love being on the porch, never go off anywhere, usually come inside at night.
Gotta tell you about my batter. A korat cat, VERY smart. Can leap 10 feet in the air with no warning, and land lightly! Yes, my pretty things are packed until I can build cabinets with doors instead of just shelves. Bats fly in sometimes even in the day when we're bringing in groceries. Beauty the Cat doesn't hurt them. She brings them down, lays on them, and yells for help. I toss a towel on them, Beauty crawls out, I wrap up the bat, release it on the porch, it chit chit chits, and then wings off. Then Beauty gets swiss cheese (her fave). One day a bat tried to bite her. She punched it (no claws) knocking it silly, and a minute later it flew away just fine.
She thinks sticking one's face in a bowl is just gauche. She snags her food with her pinky claw and eats like we would use a fork. When I get a plate, she gets a plate, for some reason she will eat like a cat from a plate. She enjoys fresh water, in the wild they apparently swim and go fishing - now if I could just get her to turn the water back OFF. She's the "Granny Clampit", she rules the rest. Cat chow to her is like potato chips to us. Fun, tasty, now I'm hungry, bring on the meat and fish!
I've noticed they have quite a varied language, but speak in such ultra low tones we can't hear them. I see her rounding them up in a circle and her mouth is moving, but I hear nothing. When she's done, they go and put their toys away or whatever else she's told them. When they mew at us, that's just like a car horn yelling, "Hey!" It is fun watching the little cat conferences. One day the tiger stripes were all having a meeting and wouldn't let non-stripes join! Beauty wasn't part of that, being a silver tipped solid grey.
And I couldn't believe it, someone dropped off a Russian blue mix. Wonderful little boy, big round face with moon eyes, silver tipped like Beauty, tail always writhing like a cobra snake. I shouldn't, but I was kinda hoping Intrepid and Beauty would have a cub. But she had 3 cubs once, and now wants NOTHING to do with having any more. My little joke, in this day of Roe vs Wade, human women could learn from Beauty the Cat how to simply control themselves....
I shut up before I write a book! And yes, I think I have a most wonderful life now, I am having fun. I'm retired, not exactly by choice, the world just doesn't seem to need me or my talents any more. Natural evolution and progress. But I did my years, so now I play with music, animation, video games, I'm going to re-paint our old truck this summer, I have one more new window to install in my "will be" studio room (did 7 last year, and then it went from 60 degrees to 20 one night so I quit). And I need a cat condo so I can send them to their room and work a jigsaw puzzle (they steal). I have an 18,000 piece (yes 18K!!!, it's nearly 9 feet long finished) tropical scene, and a Batman one, and a new one with Steampunk Cats in flying machines (made by Buffalo if you're interested). Hoping all is crisp sweet apples for you, here's to the best in all you do.
