Introducing...Harper Elizabeth

This is what I woke up and saw a few weeks ago. 2 calico cats in our backyard! I think Harper is the one laying down. She seems pretty scared of the other kitty. The girls were excited to go to bed with no pets and think they woke up to TWO pets!















In an attempt to share our house with FEWER than half a dozen mice this winter, we've managed to keep a stray around the yard to help us out. Addalyn picked her name (before we knew the gender...but I'm pretty sure it's a g irl). She's so sweet and I can't help but wonder if her mom wasn't the corpse in my back yard this spring that the giant buzzard was snacking on...
Anywho, after a couple of cat food donations from friends, we've been able to keep her full. It's just a matter of keeping the 2 other strays and the darn raccoon away now! The girls love her and every once in a while she'll sneak inside, sniff around and go back out within a minute. She hasn't made me sneeze once!
