hi my peoples!
here we are again with another cat
an
cat
farm cats are working cats of all sizes and colors.
they are not totally feral but not really domesticated either.
unless you know the cat, and more importantly they know you,
it is best to leave them be and let them do their job.
they are sometimes given supplemental food by the peoples they work for
but most often they only eat what they catch.
i am glad i am a pampered pet…
i do like going to my bowl and having food when i want it
because they mostly feed on smaller animals that are found on farms and ranches, like mice,
they are generally leaner than house cats. that doesn’t mean they are skinny…
they just have more muscle and less fat.
farm cats are hard workers and are important to the farmer.
i prefer naps and playing with my toys.
i am very glad mama is not a farmer and i am a condo cat.

Teddy Here 
This is my kind of cat, Teddy, although we do feed ours. We just have one, now, but we have had many cats over the years, and few of them have been just pets. Well, I guess I should say we only claim one…there is another one that appeared recently, and she has claimed us! I shudder to think of the mouse infestation we would have without them!
the new cat must know you need another mouser. maybe your old cat recruited her. will there be kittens?
Farm cats are good at keeping the critters gone. I so remember that.
Have a purrfect Awww Monday. 🙂
i’m good at getting spiders and palmetto bugs. if mama catches me playing with one she squashes it. she can be a spoil sport.
My cats are not big on working either. They could qualify for condo cat although they live in a house and have to do stairs. They prefer to hunt in bowls.
hmmm, stairs. i’ve seen stairs but mama won’t let me explore them. i’ve been in the elevator, though. i like hunting for treats.
Excellent one Teddy. You’re one cool condo cat … love that expression 🙂
thanks. mama says i am too nosy so it is hard to take my picture. she does the best she can. i like playing hard to get with her.
Good one, Teddy. A lot of the rescues I do have barn cat in them. Many have feral traits, never really being handled. Yes, hard workers, excellent hunters, though.
you are a rescue people! yay you! somebody rescued me when i was only a few weeks old wandering down a road by myself, took me to the shelter and mama found me. rescue peoples rule.
~xo~
A condo cat sounds like a cool thing to be! I once got reprimanded for feeding the farm cats. A mom had had babies and I just thought they needed some help. My bad,
i wouldn’t want to have to find my own food so i am very happy being a condo cat.
