Ah - I see. I don’t think we have those. Not right here in town anyway. Maybe in the more agricultural areas.

There aren't any Co-ops in Jefferson County where I work, only City folk. The more rural counties have them. Luckily we have on right on my way home.

Kitten and feral kitty update! I think I've now seen both feral cats, Momma and Sister. I think I saw Sister last night, running across the yard to the barn, but it was dark so I couldn't tell for sure which one it was. And I know I saw Momma today when I was cleaning stalls, she walked in through the back door, as I think they do sometimes, to escape detection of the dogs. She took off when she saw me there, of course, but she's around. :~)

And kitten update. Kittens are still here, and feeling rather cooped up in the rather cramped back room the last couple days. We're now dog sitting Rosie's dog for a week, so that just one more animal to juggle.

And I do say I think the cuteness of the kittens is wearing thin on Gidget, or it now hurts when they claw and bite tail, she snapped at them a couple times lately, not hard, and it's probably good for them to not be so familiar with dogs. Not all dogs will be as tolerant as she's been. A fair dose of caution is a good thing.

But I'm letting her play with them less, they're just getting so rambunctious! The kittens do get out to play, but they have to take turns, all dogs outside while kittens play, all kittens in bedroom when dogs are in.

So I tried to make some new toys for them back there, I thought these two chairs would be good for climbing on and pouncing from. Of course, they were most interested in the strings I used to brace them up with than the chairs... Figures!

After that last picture, I decided they were at risk of slipping and getting hung on those strings, so I added a rolled towel to keep them from doing that.

Course then they were mostly interested in the towel. ;~)

I feel like my dad use to joke about us kids, that they'd buy us presents when we were little, and we'd seem more interested in playing with the boxes they came in than the toys. :~)

But this is an awful cute picture.
