I love your cats and admire the fact that they look great for their ages. Shows you take care of them. I had Siamese for years but when my last one passed realized my allergies went away.. maybe, just maybe I was allergic to cats! Perish the thought. I have one barn car named Lucky. She must be nearly 10 y.o. at this time. She is a feral and had 6 babies under the neighbors barn, they wondered over here because we had barn cats. I trapped them, had them neutered and returned and one by one they disappeared, were killed by predators or just died of old age...my one barn cat was nearly 18. I can not remember how many babies she had over the years. Back to Lucky....black as night and still unable to touch her.
Here she is on her throne...she loves to climb this pole and sit on it watching the neighbors chickens and peeps. That pole holds up pieces of plywood we use as a windbreaker since most of our storms come from that direction. One blizzard took the panels right out of the greenhouse before we got smart and put up a windbreaker.
Now, here is Sir Charles of Concord aka Charle....my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel...3 years old and funniest dog I ever owned. Strictly a companion dog and goes everywhere with me in the house but outside he must stay on a leash since he is also a hunter (he thinks). He chases Lucky because she teases him and then he will not come back when called. Hundreds of dollars of private lessons did not help his natural instincts. So, we live with it. He eats anything he can and hates riding in cars.
Then there is the flock...or what is left of the flock. I bred and sold exotic birds for years at my farm we called Laurel Run Bird Farm because the entire one side of the 2 acres was nothing but mountain Laurel. It was so beautiful. I raised medium and small parrots, lovebirds, canaries, parrotlets, senegals, conures, etc. When I closed the business and moved here, I brought with me 12 birds (I have 3 left at this time)...all I bred and raised but never sold for one reason or another. All but one, that one is Gunny, the double yellow headed amazon, who I purchased as a baby and raised him. I bought him for my husband, a retired Maj. in the USMC who was dying of lung cancer and I felt Gunny would be a good companion for him since he was at the farm all the time when I was working. They became really good friends but he never lived long enough to see Gunny look like this. Gunny is now 21 years old and just a real devil bird.
Last but not least are the other two...Sage (a green pied lovebird) and Tweeter (a sun conure)...both are getting older and are really the best of friends. They go back and forth into each others cages all the time.

That's it for my pets ....
