Eighth Day of Christmas...on a Ranch

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...eight hungry barn cats,

 

 

•  Seven Flint Hills pastures,
•  Six cows a'calving,
•  Five awesome kids!
•  Four special friends,
•  Three old red barns,
•  Two cotton work gloves,
•  and a Cow Dog to work beside me.

You know I'm a dog-person. I do love a good dog to hang out with me while I work, but there is something about barn cats and kittens that is appealing! They are also functional...they keep the varmit population under control! We feed our cats a bit of cat food, but they are hunters and stay fat and fit on mice and more!
