Daily Kitten Parade
The morning trek to open the coops and water the birds – Ash almost always comes with me, but sometimes Dumplin joins the parade.
Autumn Ash – 2024
Tractor Kitten
Kitten Cake
Well, sorta. For Dumplin’s birthday, Anya made the cats “kitten cake” — crushed peanuts (he loves peanuts), tuna, and sprinkles of shredded mozzarella. They loved it … Anya wasn’t sure about crunchy peanuts with tuna 🙂
Cat Treats – With Pumpkin!
We grew pumpkins last year, and I wanted to make something for the cats too
8 oz cooked tuna
1 egg
1 oz shredded carrot
1 oz cooked pumpkin, mashed
1 oz olive oil
1 pinch catnip
7 oz oat flour
Preheat the oven to 350F
Mix everything except the oat flour together, the slowly stir in the flour to form a dough.
Spread on baking tray about 1/2″ thick & cook for 10-15 minutes. Cut into small rectangles and allow to cool. Serve to happy kittens!
Cat Nap
Ash found a comfy bed — the stump of an old honey locust
Cat things
Our cats usually come with me to the poultry pasture in the morning and evening — they patrol the area, climb a tree, and generally do cat things. Last week, Dumplin decided to try the kitchen scraps I put out for the birds.
Evidently that’s become a “cat thing” now too.
Barn Cat Freedom Day
Today was the first day our two older kittens got to play outside. They were cautious at first; but, by the evening, they were running across the back patio chasing each other and playing in the grass. When Anya went to bed, they ran up to the patio outside of her room, and they came right inside when she opened the door.
Got ’em
We finally saw the new kittens, well kitten, on the back patio. Anya put a trap out, and the curious little one walked right in. She put another trap out, and we caught the mommy cat too! We’ll get her into the vet shortly, and the barn cats won’t sprout more kittens. We decided his birthday is April 25, 2023.
