Two Confused Kitties

I haven't written about Ranger and Indy for a while. They are growing like crazy!

I believe they might think they are a dogs though instead of in the feline family. Why would I think this? Well.....other than climbing the occasional tree, they act like a dog. I'm wondering if they maybe have been paying too much attention to Spring.

When I acquired these two creatures a few months ago it was with the intent that they'd be barn cats. You know, keep the rodent population down where it's the worst. They've long since taken up residence at my house. The only time they're at the barn is when they follow one of us to the barn. Do cats usually follow people around like dogs do? I'm really asking this question! I'd like to know! I'm guessing my teacher friend in Alaska would know. Please inform!

My dad even said that they follow him around like a dog.

If I leave my house to go up to my folks, they follow. If I go up to work at the old house, they follow. They always hang out there til I leave. That's what Spring does. Maybe it's Spring they're following and not me! Last night Indy followed me up to the north barn to feed. For some reason Ranger wasn't around. I thought he was gonna get clobbered by one of the horses, but he made it out of the pen.

However, last night when I went to feed the dog and cats there was only one kitty. Indy was missing! I remembered seeing him when I left the north barn in a tall patch of grass. So, up to the north barn I went witha flashlight. He came crawling out from underneath the riding mower and seemed very happy to see me.

Same thing happened last week. Sis#3 and I had been up at the old house cleaning. When we came out it was pitch dark. Sis says, "Isn't there a porch light?" I said, "Yes, but the bugs show up." While we were having this little conversation Spring tried to get into the house. We got her out and went down to my house. I went to feed the dog and kitties and Indy was missing then too. Sis said, "I wonder if he went in the house." I said, "Naw". Guess what? I found Indy sitting by the front door on the inside of the house. Oops!

Maybe I should just make sure I've got them both before I head to the house no matter what. I would save me wandering around the place after dark and after my bedtime!!!
