Mixed results taking a feral cat into the house. We have a barn separated from the house by trees with no neighbors so it is the perfect spot for drive by catting. We get lots of "donations". We also have a population of truly feral cats. I tolerate cats in the barn (turkeys, sheep, chicken - always rodent feed available and I will not use poison so if a cat wants to stay I let them.

We currently have three that weren't doing so well. Two had been torn up by something (coyotes?) and weren't going to make it. So, being idiots, we got them patched up and took them indoors. Both have been excellent house cats and for the most part happy to be kept indoors.

Moe (all black) was so little he never got to be used to being alone and feral. He lost a leg but he's a fighter. Pitiful to watch walk . . . but he runs just fine and is a sweetheart.

Mooch had what I thought was a large tumor but turned out to be a kidney! Something had grabbed him across the abdomen and tore him up. It's a wonder either of them survived - cats is tough! And now they're both galloots enjoying the good life. Best of friends, love people, took right to litterboxes. Moe tries to dig with a phantom leg.

Cricket - another one we brought in - is SKITTERY! She was starving and emaciated. Pretty little thing but she will only be affectionate on her terms. If she comes to you - and she does - it's OK. If I try and pet her or approach her . . . gone. Anyone different in the house . . . gone. Try and take a nap on the couch - in your face rubbing and purring. She also does not like the other cats at all.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
