Wow! I was blown away by all of the positivity with regards to
our potential adoption of Annie's look-alike!
I am always so nervous when a new animal is on the horizon...
and what I am starting to learn is that it always seems to work out.
Take Ivy, for example....
This little gal has adjusted to her new home famously!
She has mastered the cat door in the utility room door...
so she has access to food and water and litter box whenever needed.
This area also gives her a dog-free zone if she desires one.
As for the dogs...
introductions were made yesterday.
Sam, eternally curious, was first to come nose to nose with little Ivy.
He sniffed and she wrapped herself around his legs, purring, purring.
Meeting Annie was uneventful... a few sniffs and curiosity was satisfied.
Oakley could have cared less.
He's not particularly a cat man.... can take 'em or leave 'em....
preferring to just ignore 'em.
While we are on the subject of cats...
Yesterday, while in the barn, I noticed that Bobby was scowling.
Why? you ask.
Because the workshop half of the barn, where the kitties live,
is apparently going to the birds.
The two Lucilles were hanging out in the workshop.
It seems at least one of them has taken over the cat bed on top of the barn refrigerator...
and made it her private nesting bungalow.
Every day there is a fresh egg inside.

Louise in U.K....thank you so much for visiting us and for your comment today!! I think that Ivy will just be a house kitty. We will see how that goes for now. As for the other cats.....when strays show up at our barn they remain barn kitties. That way we don't worry about litter boxes. And of course when I say barn kitty...they do not lead the typical barn cat life. They all have fluffy beds, heating lamps, dry food 24/7 and get canned food daily as well. We feed our barn kitties well so that they have lots of energy for playing with the mousies!! Hubbs just really wanted one kitty to be a lap cat in the house.....hence Ivy!!
The way I look at another addition to the family....what is one more mouth to feed. lol Enjoy and I hope it all goes well.
Have a great weekend, Janie
What a beautiful cat! Everyone seems to just get along.. Great post, Beverly.
Have a wonderful weekend
blessings,
