The Cat's Meow

Kinley isn't the only baby to have captured Randy's heart. She remains Number 1 among our blue-eyed babies.

But Randy does love baby kittens. Even I can't quibble with the cuteness quotient of little feline faces.

The kittens have not joined the "crop failure" category here on the County Line. We have several hanging out in the backyard from a couple of different Moms. These mothers seem to have the equivalent of modern job-sharing roles, feeding whatever kitten shows up to dine. That doesn't happen with cows and calves, but these Mamas don't seem to care. 

Randy is making it his mission to tame this latest crop of kittens. I just hope they are getting schooled in the fine art of mousing. To me, that's their mission on the County Line.

Shoelaces aren't safe around here. 

They aren't safe from this girl either. Her Grandpa thinks Miss Kinley and the feline babies would be a perfect match and could go head-to-head to see who is most proficient at untying laces.

However, we haven't convinced her parents that she needs a kitty yet. She doesn't have Grandma Rules at her house. In this case, she needs a big dose of Grandpa Rules.

 But no kitty for Miss Kinley. She does, however, have a liberal visitation policy.
