Cats, Cats and more Cats!

On Christmas eve, two new horse boarders arrived from San Diego. They had been trailered for almost 1200 miles after escaping the forest fires in Southern California. One is a young colt named Remington. The other is a Quarter Horse mare named Trails. She, apparently, does not care for me very much. The feeling is mutual.

In addition to the horses, 'the-people-who-serve-them' brought a stray cat who had wandered into their yard. They 'donated' her to us because we have an acreage and already have cats. (Gee, I hadn't noticed).) My tongue almost fell out of my mouth when I saw her. She weighs more than 12 lbs and looks like a gray tiger with green eyes that look like tennis balls. The 'person-who-serves-me' thinks she's beautiful and named her 'San Diego,' and as she's only hissed at me a couple of times, I guess I can tolerate her. However, this now brings the number of cats to four, horses at nine, dogs at two.

So, what are we missing? How about a rabbit? Well, not any more. We now have a rabbit who lives in the house and makes a big mess in the kitchen. Now I'm not getting so much attention, it'll give me time to hide some of their stuff, just to get even.
