I love her colours too.

My oldest daughter is the cat whisperer. She had a cat from Hell and loved him like crazy. He had a good life in her room. Everyone else wanted him gone.

Thanks that would be my youngest daughter aka the Tornado. One of my favourite pictures of her and the chickens when they were little. I had it put on canvas 11x14.

Thanks, I need to be on a farm, amazingly even in Arkansas they won't let you have a cow in the city :rofl:

 

 

I'm happy I'm out of the apartment stage of my life. Cats are great too, ours is a big baby he's  12 I think.
