We have two cats, well, one and a half. One of them only comes around about every 7 to 10 days for just an hour or two. His name is Cheeto.

A few years ago I was sawing up some logs on a farm I was taking care of. The owner of the farm gave me 15 or 20 mostly Walnut trees. Anyway, I had hauled my chainsaw up to my truck to once again sharpen the chain. When I went back, there was this little 5 or 6 week old kitten sitting on the log I had just been cutting on. I looked all around that farm and in the creek for any litter mates or a mother. Before I did though, seeing that he was so skinny, I opened a bag of cheetos from my truck and he went at them. Thus the name. I took him home with me that evening.

Hootie just showed up one day in my barn. I opened the door and there she was, staring up at me. She was probably a couple of months old. She kinda looked like an owl, but now looks more like a coon.

We had given up on cats before these two. We had went through 7 or 11 or so in just a couple of years due to the highway out front or the coyotes out back. These two have stuck around, knock on wood. I have had Cheeto for 3 1/2 years now. Hootie has probably been around for a couple years now.

The cat that caused us to give up on cats was named Girlie. She was a real good mouser and was pregnant. She was probably just a few days away from delivering when she go ran over by a car. We were pretty heart broken about that. We had got her and two brothers from my boss at work. The two brothers lasted maybe 5 or 6 months. Girlie was well over a year old.

I would welcome more cats, but if we move, they stay with the house, I mean barn.
