Cat love......



Ryley and Chaz love to "play" outside. Which in kid code means "I want to track and hunt down the cat, hold him, love him, and without knowing it torture him. I have to give the cat props though he is really good with them and just kind of chills out while they drag him around....by the neck. I keep calling him "the Cat" he does have a name, in fact he has had several. He started out in the world living in a cow pasture in the middle of nowhere, Oregon. We were visiting some friends and came home with two tiny under fed cats that had been cow licked and taken care of by some very nurturing cows. One of the cats died or ran away, we don't know which. Well the cat that remained was originally named Longfellow(by me) because of the long tail. Then soon was changed to Poof because he always disappeared whenever we came around.Now Ryley has decided his name is Fluffy......vetoing all my suggestion of Jasper, Rico, Jack ect. But fluffy remains and he is a great "farm cat", he does live outside with occasional break in attempts. But through it all he has stuck around and has been a great pal for the kids.

Hi you guys! I love your pictures. It was fun to see recent pix. The cat pictures remind me of Jess when she was little. She did the same thing to our cat and we were amazed at how patient it was with her packing it around by the neck! Dan loves Ryan's beard!! He says "us red beards have to stick together!"
Anyway, I just made a blog spot for us, so come visit!
Love and miss you guys,
Primus fam
