The kitty has been christened Latte and she is now on Petfinders and Facebook looking for a permanent home. She is an older kitty (even missing a few teeth) but she is pure love to people but a bit unsure about cats and dogs.

On the homefront, it is still raining here. So much for getting our garden in this weekend! Most of the barn cats have settled into life indoors, but Riley, Squirrel and McKinley have been given day passes. Except for McKinley who I believe has a second place in the blackberry bushes where he stays, the other two will come to the window at night and be let in. We made some modifications to the window where they go in and out. I built a large covered ledge outside the window, where the cats can stay (or eat) until I notice them and let them in. I did spy a coon on the ledge last night- he was stealing tuna and a hard-boiled egg.

I recently tested a new e-collar from trimlineinc.com I didn’t have any injured cats (thank the Lord) but I do have one girl who was forced to spend two years of her life inside a dinky little bird cage outside. Because of the constant exposure to the weather and environment, Fiona has horrible ear mites. She has had four applications of the “once only” drops for ear mites with little results. So it is a constant battle to get rid of the mites but the collar worked splendidly! If anyone would like to learn more, please visit their website at Trimline
