"Little Cat" is my sister. She is cream color like me. She came to live with us when she was 6 weeks old in 2001. She thinks she can boss me, but I put her in her place daily. After all I (Baby) am the "Boss" of the Barn Cats.
"Little Cat" was very tiny when she arrived, the humans used to tie a string on her when the let her play in the front yard. She was tiny but very fast. She soon learned that this was her home, and no longer needed a string to keep her from running away.
She kills snakes, birds, moles, and mice. She is a very good hunter and is helping me keep mice out of the barn.
Below are some pictures of her when she was a baby.
We now have 2 new additions as of Sept.11,2002. The humans got a phone call from the nice lady where we all came from. "Little Cat's" sister had 4 babies. She got sick and before she died she pulled all her babies out of hiding. It was very hot outside. The lady found 3 babies and only one lived. The next day she heard a chirping outside. It was the 4th baby. She called my humans to see if they could try and help them.
"Mike" was the strong one, "Yoda" was very weak. The humans used an eye dropper to feed them for a day, then kitten baby bottles. The babies had to eat every 2 hours. After a long week the babies look better. After 2 weeks they are gonna live. At 4 weeks they are fiesty little kids. They now eat from a dish.
They are now 4 months old. They have survived and are growing into nice sized Manx cats.
I can't wait till they come out to the barn to let me teach them to hunt.
We have a new addition as of Jan.7,2003. The humans got a phone call from the nice lady where we all came from. My Momma(also Buddy, & Little Cat's momma)had babies about 5 weeks ago. She had 2 babies that needed homes. It is too cold outside now for baby kittens.
And our humans have a friend who has been waiting 5 years to get
a manx baby kitten. Since the friend can only take one baby,
we will take the other *S*.
We are taking the girl since Yoda & Mike are girls and will be
keeping the baby with them for awhile.
Well, we have a name for this new kid! We will call her Mason.
Because when the humans put her in the garage(in a box), she
dissapeared!! When they finally found her, she was upside down
in a pint mason jar! Wow, she is little. All they could see
were her back feet sticking out the jar. She was just too scared
to come out of the jar.
She had a bath and some warm milk. She is doing great. Mike & Yoda
have finally figured out that she is FUN to play with. They all
three run and play. Then Yoda gives Mason a cat lick bath.
WHEW!! All these babies!!
