    Socks, the barn cat!

    As some of you may know I volunteer at a theropuetic horseback riding program. Not only do they have horses there, but they have a cat too! Socks!


    Hmmmm...what's in here

    Time to give the horsies some water!

    I wanna help! Let's start down there.

    Oh wait, no! Go that away!


    Hehe, thank you for looking.

    RIP Sally

    Hey Socks, you are aptly named, and I am sure you are an excellent mouser and companion to the horses as well! Every barn that stores hay or grain needs a cat, for rodent deterrent if nothing else!

    And you have a life that many Cats would envy, living in a barn with sun all around and being free to explore Mother Nature while getting a safe place to stay while getting regular meals.

    Hey Socks, looks like you're a big help with the horses and way handsome too.

    Socks, in that first photo, your eyes look exactly like my Mordred's! But Mordred's not a barn cat; at the moment, he's curled up, sound asleep, in a cuddler bed with a heating pad underneath. All mice are safe from him!

    Thanks guys!

    Funny story. The first day I started working, I saw Socks and he was so sweet with his meowing and rubbing up against anyone. Seemed like he couldn't hurt a fly! Later the night, just as I was about to leave, I saw Socks carrying a dead mouse through the parking lot. I was like "Oh my god, Socks!" I was so shocked, I wasn't expecting that at all! I guess it just had to take some getting use to.
