Some don't cotton to cats much, but we've always had a barn full of cats around, with some favorites, they are pretty cool. I got one youngster draped against my leg right now, tho officially we don't have house cats.... there are 3 that are allowed in for a few hours.
Wife was new to the farm life back when we got married, they had a few town pets as she grew up, she really took to the cats here, baby kittens were something new for her to wonder at. They have taken to her as well. The last 2 kittens this year are only a month old or so, when their mom brought them out the bolder one came right up to my wife, followed her voice around. No hissing & spitting, just - hi, look at me, got anything for me? Remarkable.
Mighta said here before, we had a tom cat that came home dragging his tail, took $400 of vet bills to fix hime up, he disappeared this year, but in the 8 years between the tail issue & now, he's gone gopher hunting aloong the ditch bank and probably saved me more than $400 worth of corn along that ditch bank - will be interesting to see if any other cat takes over his route, or if the first4 rows of corn starts disappearing again. He was sure worth the investment in 'just a barn cat.'
Anyhow, sorry for your loss, those kids can sure worm their way into a person's life, leaves an empty spot when they are gone.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
