Well, the name says it, I spent my life on the racetrack but recently had to quit - no purse money and too far to go, so settled down and started farming. Always had a cat, even on the track, although they weren't always mine, they just gravitated towards me. When I moved back to the farm, needed cats, begged some kittens, lost a few to the horses, begged more, and now I have 9 barn cats, and three kittens - two adults have curled tails, and one of the kittens is starting to look like she will. Also two house cats, one long haired rescue known to his friends as Da Lip - he hasnt a lower lip, but had a huge scab and raw spot when he was found, and his partner in crime, Da Magpie aka Spots quitthat. She is the only survivor here of an orphaned litter (mother just took off after some construction in the barn) and left 7 kittens, maybe three weeks old. Unfortunately, there was only so much one human and a neutered tom cat could do for them, and five just didnt make it. Spots and her brother Punker lived then Punk moved down the road for some reason before I could get him to the vet for 'the operation'. Anyway, if anyone is interested, will post pics of the kittens (2 colour point and white, one tabby and white) and of the ringtailed adults
