Visitors

January 5, 2019 / Re-Farmer / 1 Comment

I had a couple of visitors while doing my rounds this morning.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve heard one of these guys, and even longer since I’ve seen one.

What I found interesting is that, when it saw me coming, it just walked away, then stayed to watch me for a while, before finally flying off. Usually, I don’t even know one’s been around until I hear it flying away.

At one point, I was under a tree when some bits of bark and debris began falling on my head.

Why?

Because of this little lady.

Who was not at all happy to see our other visitor.

My brother’s dog came by, and even came over to let me pet him, without doing the “sneaking up from behind” shyness he usually displays. He still played a bit shy, but he seemed more interested in getting pets, instead. :-D

I just adore that dog. He is so sweet!

This was taken out my office window this morning.

He started by the feeding station, walked completely around the house, then meandered his way over towards the barn.

Checking later, yeah, the wire for the electric fence is pulled up a bit again.

Need to look around for some kind of ribbon I can attach to the wire, so they can see it.

Every morning the cats try to kill me as I tried to feed them… Today, they almost succeeded. :P

Let’s see if this works.

You know, the outside cats make going outside quite entertaining! Check out Beep Beep!

Earlier, when I was walking around the yard, she followed me, insisting on attention, until I finally picked her up and carried her the rest of the way.

Later, as I brought the van into the yard, cats and kits scattered all over the place. Beep Beep went up the tree. When I came near, she started rolling around so much, she almost fell off!

Gotta be careful!

Seeing our furry visitors, it reminded me that, when I was out in the yard earlier in the day, I had noticed the cat kibble was almost gone. So I decided to top it up for the night.

We keep the kibble in the Old Kitchen now, so those were the doors I went through. The kittens were on the swing bench – 6 of them! They seemed to know I had food with me, which made their responses to me rather funny. There’s Doom Guy, who comes right up to me. The cautious ones, like Jim and Bob, sortof hang around, but are still not comfortable with me coming close, even with a bowl of food. Then there are the super shy ones, who are clearly torn between wanting the food they can see I have, and wanting to run away from me, at the same time!

As I went for the outer doors, however, they all dashed ahead of me and started for the bowls outside.

Just to be cautious, I looked around, and sure enough, there was our Pepe Le Pew, hanging out by the steps of the clothes line platform. Making himself look big at me!

So I put the food out for the cats, then got some video.

Just so you know, I am NOT really that close to him. This is zoomed in a bit.

Getting back through the sun room took a little more time than usual. ;-)

Standoff!

While working in my office this morning, our Mama cat started getting all agitated, and going up to the window. That’s when I realized I was hearing a low growling noise from outside.

This is what we saw.
