I have had many kittens born on my farm in my lifetime. Particular kittens have stood out more than others because of their character and actions.
I had a tiny black female kitten born on my farm in the early summer. She was bright around cars and avoided them at all costs. She would always walk under your feet, and I feared I would step on her and kill her. She remained tiny for her age. I placed an ad under giveaways in my local newspaper, and a lovely young couple came and adopted her. I called them about a year after they had adopted her to see how she was doing. They said they loved her so much they had adopted another cat to keep her company. I also inquired about her size. They told me she has fully grown and is the size of most female cats. I was thrilled my kitten got a loving and caring home.
Blacknose was a beautiful tortoiseshell kitten. She would follow me around the farm and wait for the school bus to take me to school. In her adult life, she would catch and kill garter snakes.
One of my tortoise shell kittens would sit on my shoulder while I painted the farm buildings. She was a very loving and affectionate kitten. When she was about a year old, she got run over by a pickup truck. I missed her dearly.
Midnight was a black kitten. He liked to follow my Father around the farm when he was feeding our pigs. One day Midnight, he jumped on my Father’s shoulder at five in the morning. My Father jumped, and to his relief, he discovered Midnight had jumped on his shoulder and not some wild animal.
One Himalayan kitten was born on my farm; she was very gentle and kind. All the kittens on my farm are part Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and domestic short hair.
I have had so many memorable kittens born on my farm throughout the years that there are too many to mention. My kittens have given me great joy in my life. My kittens have pleasured those who have adopted them over the years. I am very thankful for my kittens, who have become wonderful and loving adult cats to share my life with.
