And now for some pussy....


...this is CC, our barn cat. She has a bit of a story about her. She originally started out as a kitten on my front porch while bro was still at my house and I was still living at the farm. Bro kept having to check under the hood of his truck before he started it up because she liked to sleep on the engine. (we're lucky that he found that out!) So one weekend he came out to the farm and somehow she rode out there in the frame of his truck. We tried to catch her but she kept running back under the truck and hiding in the frame again. Finally we left her alone thinking she might jump out and run away from the truck. We didn't see her the rest of the day, and checked over the truck before bro left. Thought she had left. Well the next day she was back on my porch (6 miles away!) She stayed there on the porch for another week. Then the following weekend out on the farm,you guessed it,there she was under the truck! She'd rode out there again! Still couldn't catch her. So bro drove his truck down the lane,back to the barn, and left the truck sitting there for a couple of hours. Sure enough,she jumped out and ran into the barn. And she has been back there since! I call her CC,short for Combine Cat because she decided to live in an old combine we have stored back there. She is now probably about 6 months old and is a very loving cat. And fast! She doesn't hold still for much and I had a hard time getting a pic of her,she is constantly on the move! She is not a true tuxedo cat, too much white on her,she kinda looks like a black cat was walking across something and white paint sprayed upward and covered her lower parts! Hopefully I can get some better pics of her as she gets older and loses some of her kitten hyperness! But she IS a character! But then again, aren't most cats?
