This little guy, or gal, has been showing up around the property for about a week now. It looks very young and far too skinny, the kind of animal that makes you stop what you are doing and wonder how long it has been fending for itself.
We decided to put out some food, milk, and water to help it fill out a bit. With any luck, it will stick around, get healthier, and offer some natural rodent control in return. A fair trade if it chooses to make this place home.
Time will tell, but for now it seems we may have a farm cat in the making.
