While the latest arrivals in the cat barn were adjusting to their new surroundings, the other furry tails were enjoying a catnip frenzy. I place four scratching boxes in the floor and sprinkled catnip over each one. The cats were immediately interested and began to claim the boxes by lying on top of them. They scratched the boxes, rolled in the catnip, and even ate some of it. I think they were feeling pretty mellow by the time I bid them goodnight.
THIS BLOG WAS FORMERLY "STONEY HILL CABIN', BUT WE'VE MOVED AND I NO LONGER HAVE A CABIN, SO AS MY DAUGHTER SUGGESTED (AND SHE WAS RIGHT) IT'S TIME FOR A NEW NAME. MY SPOUSE PROMISED TO BUILD ANOTHER CABIN IN THE NOT-TOO-DISTANT FUTURE, BUT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, I HAVE PLENTY TO KEEP ME BUSY HERE ON THE FARM. THE BIG RED BARN IS NOW A SAFE HAVEN FOR ALL OUR RESCUED CATS. WE HAVE PLANS FOR PLANTING A GARDEN IN THE SPRING AND YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO GROW CATNIP. OUR NEIGHBORS WAVE AS THEY PASS AND WE LOVE WATCHING THE TRACTORS, PLOWS, AND COMBINES ON THE ROADS AT HARVEST TIME, TRAVELING FROM FARM TO FIELD. IT'S A GOOD LIFE SO FAR.
