Barn Cat Life

Thursday September 5, 2019  As you may or may not know, Blue Moon Ranch is home to 3 much loved barn cats. Garbo, the oldest has been here since 2016, Bogart arrived in 2017 and Odin showed up last fall. They do a fabulous job keeping the mice out of the hay barns and we are so glad they are here. Caring for barn cats has been a learning experience for me in that I cannot control them at all. They go where they want and come back when they want and that’s hard for a control freak like me! Their life is rich with natural experiences and great fun and with that fun also comes risks. But how else can one have a barn cat? So we love them when they show up and worry about them when they don’t. As the daylight hours are shrinking I’m noticing all 3 of them come into the barn in the evening to ask me to open a can or 2 of food. Of course I oblige.  All 3 of them love to be petted and Odin will sit on a lap for as log as you allow it. I hope they all stay around and thrive for many years to come.

Photo of the day:  Garbo thinks she’s better than the boys.   lolBogart is the one who enjoys the alpacas most of all.

Odin actually belongs to my grandson, he just lives here.
