      I would love to take this lil guy home, but I can’t afford another critter. Hoping that he won’t get himself killed. He hasn’t stepped under horses yet which is good.

          Oh I wasn’t offended all! I was just lamenting over not being able to adopt the lil bugger lol. I’m really glad you got to take the orange barn kitten that you met home!

        I’ve had a lot of farm cats in my life. Usually when they reach this age at this time of year, they’re very likely to live for quite a long time. Winter kittens have a much harder time, because they climb into vehicle engines for warmth. When they’re born at this part of the year, they learn to avoid vehicles when we approach them

    In the early 2000s I had a cat named Karmalee. She got out of the apartment. So I’m roaming the streets calling out “KARMALEE!!!.. KARMALEE!!!..”

    And a police officer was driving by. He pulled up and asked “…are you looking for a dog?” And I said “No, a cat.” And he said “Oh…” and drove off.

    To this day I don’t know what to make of that exchange. Like him finding out its a cat just ended the conversation instantly. But he did see/hear me, and before talking to me already could assess that I was looking for a lost pet.

    It makes me wonder what he would have instinctually thought if he saw me, a fat guy, walking the streets at 2am as bars are letting out, and I’m just wondering the streets yelling “BROCCOLI CHEDDAR!!!.. BROCCOLI CHEEEEEEDDAAAAARRRRRR!!!”

      Lmaoooo. Yeah he’s really growing up.

      One of the other mama cats has a litter of 3 that haven’t even opened their eyes yet. Two orange tabbys and one grey. She shows me them every time I go to the barn. First time she showed me, they were still wet.
