Cats on the Corner



I confess, I am a lover of cats.  Big ones, small ones, long hair and short.  Some black, some white, tabbies and tuxedos.  When we left British Columbia my official garden cat Gino came with me.



















 


Gino was adopted from the East Vancouver SPCA many moons ago and has moved with me through several gardens.  Cats are known to be cantankerous at best when it comes to moving but I have thanked my lucky stars many times over that moving seems to have little effect on my beloved garden buddy.  
 



Gino's days of being a single cat came to an end when we purchased our new home.  The previous mistress of the house was also a cat lover and we inherited several barn cats with the new house.  Over the last twelve years many names and faces have slept on the porch and curled up on the couch.  

Our most recent additions came to us unexpectedly.  A routine visit to the garage resulted in a trio of kittens scattering in all directions.  A neighbouring barn cat had decided our garage was the perfect accommodations for her new family.  Although I do love a kitten, we couldn't possibly keep all three.  So I decided to keep one.  But cats have other ideas and currently two are residing in my house.

Casper is delightful.  Sweet, loving and full of energy.

Ginger is cute as button, wild, and is going to make a far better garden cat than house pet.  








Both kitties enjoy digging in my houseplants so no doubt they will make fine garden cats in the years to come.
