meet the barn cats

My friend Beverly helped a stray cat and her kitten last December who were living in a pile of junk near her job.  She began feeding them and succeeded in live-trapping them.  She asked if I needed some barn cats, and since the death of cat assassin #1 (Pucci), the answer was yes.  She had them both fixed, and brought Mama (in the front) and Mali (with the white nose) to the farm on Sunday.  The chicken and rabbit area had to be sealed up very well with chicken wire, as I'm not sure they wouldn't see them as prey.  Mama is very wild, but Mali seems a little more approachable.  Barn cats are a natural part of the animal family on a farm and will earn their keep as mousers in the barns.
