Two cats worth meeting

A picture of two kittens my friend adopted back in April of this year. 
 
"Boots" and "Mouth," two daughters of Leonard the three-pawed Supercat, are two of the strangest cats I've ever met.  From the day at age four weeks they were adopted from my family's farm (their mother wasn't feeding them) and taken to my friend's farm, they have been basically taking over.  Honestly I suspect they are descendants of the great Sunny (picture here: http://catsgunsandnationalsecurity.blogspot.com/2010/03/cats_08.html ), the smartest cat I ever knew, who God took off to Heaven to manage the celestial barn and keep the cats there in order.  They quickly found an escape hole from the shed where they were kept, they have made numerous friends among the other barnyard animals, and they have joined the donkey Jennie in the security of the place.  "Mouth," the smaller one, has attacked foxes on at least one occasion, and both work diligently to keep down the mouse and bird population.  And they are utterly friendly to humans, a trait no doubt stemming in part from they early days being cared for by humans.
 
Here we see how those little kittens are now BIG.  No longer kittens, but actually cats!  They are putting on weight and coats for winter, and steps are being taken to ensure they have plenty of warmth for the season.  No doubt they already have arrangements to cuddle with the goats and other animals there ("Boots" has even been seen cuddling with ducks!).
 
With the resurrection of this blog, I hope to post more pictures of these two amazing felines.
