Snowy The Cat
Snowy the cat is our lovely natured female cat who is mother to Fluffy, Snowball, Stripe and Spot. When we moved to the farm in 2004, I inherited Snowy the cat. I am unsure how old she is, possibly about 6 years old. She is a lovely gentle farm cat with a wily sense of survival which she has instilled into her kittens.

Fluffy The Cat
Fluffy is a male tom cat who is now 3 years old. He is a beautiful fluffy white and ginger cat whose mum is Snowy. He was born in April 2004 and he is very special to me as Fluffy was from the first litter of kittens that I adopted on my move to the farm in 2004.

Snowball The Cat
Snowball is a male tom cat who is nearly 3 years old. He is a beautiful fluffy white and ginger cat whose mum is Snowy and he was therefore aptly named Snowball. He was born in September 2004 and he is very special to me as Snowball was from the second litter of kittens that I adopted on my move to the farm in 2004.

Spot The Cat
Spot is a male tom cat who is nearly 2 years old. He is a lovely, friendly white and ginger cat whose mum is Snowy. He was born in July 2005 and he is very special to me as Spot is from Snowy’s last litter of kittens.

I thought this was a great set of photos of spot the cat at play with the car aerial.
I hope you enjoyed watching Spot play.
Stripe The Cat
Stripe is a male tom cat who is nearly 2 years old. He is a lovely, friendly gingery striped cat whose mum is Snowy. He was born in July 2005 and he is very special to me as Stripe is from Snowy’s last litter of kittens. He has a brother called Spot.

So do you get many rabbits on your farm?
Comment by Dirk — March 11, 2007 @ 2:17 pm
Hi Dirk,
Thanks for the question. Yes we do get alot of wild rabbits which can cause a problem as they like to eat the crops.
The five resident cats love to hunt and often bring back mice, rats, birds and rabbits that they have caught.

Do your cats get many fleas living on a farm!
Comment by Lisa — March 17, 2007 @ 2:36 pm
Hi Lisa,
My cats get more fleas in the Summer months. I have the bites around my ankles to prove it. I have an anti-flea spray but the cats run in the opposite direction when they see me with the can!
Any tips on how to de-flea farm cats would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your comment.

Sweet kitties. When I was little we had a bunch of barn cats. I remember once something happened to a mother cat and my Mum brought the tiny new born kittens to the house and fed them with an eye dropper.

Hi Tea,
Thanks for visiting and commenting. Kittens are just so lovely. I was never a cat person until I moved to the farm and now I love them and wouldn’t ever be without them. My farm cats have become more friendly and I’ve even managed to take them to the vet without getting any scratches!!

Everyone at work tells me off for talking about my cats so much - but it sounds like you’re every bit as much a cat lover as me! I always thought that farm cats tended to be healthy because they were tough - someone recently said they can be more prone to ills, however, because they’re often exposed to all sorts of viruses at a very young age. Any thoughts?

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your comment and visiting my site. Yes I love my cats and am always talking about them and can be found on the farm talking too them. This can be embarrassing when I look up to see someone walking down the lane who obviously sees me talking to my cats!!
You pose an interesting question which I will give some thought to and will write a full post on, but in the meantime my initial thoughts are that farm cats may have weakened immune systems if their parents have not been properly vaccinated, however from experiences with my own farm cats I have found them to be quite resilient and if they are poorly a bowl of tunafish tends to sort them out.
Thanks for this interesting comment.
