Alayne got this shot over the weekend of Smudge, one of our barn cats, sitting on a fencepost by our backyard. Her view isn't nearly as splendid as the scene another of our barn cats, Spark, enjoyed back in February, but what it lacks in contemplative beauty it makes up for in practicality. In short, Smudge is much more likely to spot a hapless mouse going across the drive or a corral from this vantage point. But if a mouse doesn't happen to wander by, she can still use the fencepost as a launching point to pounce on her brother Smoke or sister Skitter if they make the mistake of walking by the fence underneath her.

I love it! If not doing their most favorite 2 things, eating or sleeping, kitties always have something on their mind.

I love the barn cat updates!!!
I remember when you got Cinder and her having babies.
I’m so glad her babies have stayed at the ranch and have become hard workers for you.
Keep all the cat updates coming. More meows please. : )LikeLike

What a beautiful photo… it so relaxing to look at Smudge the Buddha.. yea, ok, maybe she is watching for mice, but is nice to think she may be contemplating all the good things of life… especially living at Rolling Dog Ranch!!

I bet someone could blindfold you and turn you in a circle, give you a camera and you’d get a great shot. A bit of paradise is what I think you have there at Rolling Dog Ranch!
