We should be in the CAT breeding business!

Yup, that's about right. I think we have about that many in our old barn. :help:

Could you spare a few? We have a high turn over where cats are concerned.

That would be hard being the .8 of the 3rd kitten in the litter.

Shelly, why do you have a hard time with cats staying around or alive? Owls and Bobcats are hell on ours, plus a stray tom cat that kills.

Around here, owls, foxes, coyotes and alot get the flat cat desease, with a tread mark on the back side. :???:

I think it might be coyotes? We've found them mangled or they just completely disappear, but we will find signs of battles because there'd be blood stains around the yard.

Shelly, ever run over a cat? We do lol.
