    Many years ago my dad and I set a couple of chairs in the open barn door and started discussing the worlds problems. Then, a half grown kitten came around the edge of the house, spotted us in the barn door, and walked right up to us. As plain as day, he asked if he could stay, and how could we say "no"? Well, that was "Fugi", and he was a Godsend! One of the best cats I've ever known! 😊

      Barn kats are beyond best. They know a thing or two bout birds and bees cows sheep and beautiful green trees all things living and how to protect mother nature. She's under the gun lately so barn catz support all of them including she..MN.

    Hmm. I wasn’t even tired yet but now I’m going to have to find that old and stinky feral feline that my daughter made friends with 15 years ago and then left for me to care of. I confess, I like him very much. He was the biggest baddest cat in the neighborhood and now he’s old and needs a little help and understanding. He pees in my house plants and when I feed him I have to remind him to eat. He forgetful.

    I had to comment, this is exactly how I acquired my Tabby cat Morris. He just showed up one day and I didn’t want another animal, so I just ignored him and did my thing each day but he just hung around and never left. After 2 weeks, I gave in and let him in. He has been the best cat ever since. The funny thing is, he showed up exactly 1 year to the day my dog passed way. I call him my Angel cat. ❤️

      Oh, I know that longing. My hubby was allergic to cats too, and it was so hard to not have one in the house because I’d always had one. I used to take our daughter to the animal rescue to play with the kittens - the staff loved volunteers that helped to socialize them, making it easier for them to get adopted. Anyway, he was allergic to lots of things which led him to taking allergy shots for about 3 years. And, he was cured of the cat allergy! He never became a cat lover - and he limits me to 2 cats at a time, LoL - but, we always have one that simply adores him. It’s so funny.
