Love that pic Cav! I used to help my grandfather milk cows by hand when I was young. I loved it, but those 4 o'clock morning's were a killer! We have 2 cats and a kitten, they are outside pets. Keep down the mice population, so hopefully less snakes!
When I was small, two of my Uncles had dairy farms with lots of barn cats. As I became old enough to walk and carry a cat, my Uncles made sure my arms were full after each visit. I had the scratches to prove it........ : )
