When Miss Hissy and her three kittens came to live with us last year we were happy to welcome them to our home. The kittens wandered on our decks, but never wanted to be inside cats. But the joy was short-lived as two of the kittens disappeared and one died in our back yard. Miss Hissy has never allowed us to get very close to her, but does eat the food we leave for her twice a day and did manage to survive as an outside cat through an unusually severe Arkansas winter. For a little cat she's obviously pretty savvy.
Five days ago a white cat with a black patch between its ears showed up and resembled a large white cat we had seen a few times on our property. Obviously, Miss Hissy had found a "friend" and the result is Mohawk, who we call Mo. A few days later a grey kitten with white on its chest and white on its paws (like Miss Hissy), appeared at the "dinner table" and we became grandcatparents again. This one appears to be missing a right rear leg but is able to walk and run, and has been welcomed into their family and ours. Without being mean, we named it Peggy. We have no idea if we have he's or she's, but hopefully they will be able to be approached and we can get them to a vet and make sure they are medically looked after.
Between the cats, our fish in the koi pond, the hummingbird and bird feeders, and the squirrels, we have quite a menagerie. There are deer on the property and we plan to put up a deer feeder at the tree-line in the back so we can see them from our bedroom deck. With all the Passion Play animals to visit, and Joan's Susie and Tom and James and Isy's two dogs we have quite a collection of animal friends. As the sign in our entryway says, "Life is Good at the Cabin" and for that, and so much more, we say.......Thank You, Lord.
