Farm Cat Friday: Christmeow Caroling with the Farm Cats

The Farm cats are not to be ignored when it comes to getting into the holiday spirit around the Farm.  They will be singing along with us Happy Goats. For their first carol they give you

O Christmeow Tree

(The publicist says the male person said that the Farm cats were a HUGE help in getting the Christmas tree in the yurt.)

O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!

Thy limbs are just so tasty (to the goats)

O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!

Thy limbs are just so tasty (to the goats)

So bright and green I watch over here

to keep the coast all goat clear

O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
Thy limbs are just so tasty (to the goats)

Note the orange tail at the far right....

O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
Much pleasure thou can give me
O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
Much pleasure thou can give me.
How often has the Christmeow tree
afforded me a drink beneath thee?
O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
Much pleasure thou can give me

O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
Thy lights shine so brightly
O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
I rearrange them nightly
From base to summit gay and bright
So much climbing, oh the height!
O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
Thy lights shine so brightly*

O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
How richly I have decked thee
O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
How richly I have decked thee
So now I can break the glass
and cause the publicist to ask
O Christmeow tree! O Christmeow tree!
Why do I have Farm cats in the yurt with me?*

The New Kids See Snow for the First Time

We old goats know enough to not like snow.
But old goats forget that not all of the goats on the Farm have seen snow.
Somegoats are still young goats.


Take Thelma and Louise for example...
They were only born this summer so they have no idea what that white stuff is.

They were a little surprised when they came out of the barn.
They seem to be maaaaing, "WHAT is that stuff?!"


Thelma decided to give it a taste.

Not too smart Thelma!
Snow is not goat food.

They got to the end of the barn pad, still not so sure...

Louise seems to be thinking, "Where is my Farm? Why is it white?"

They slowly made their way off the pad, sniffing the snow as they moved.

But they finally moved along and went to the doe pen.
And then there was Buster Brown!
He had never seen snow either!

He was quite surprised too.
He looked hither

and he looked yon trying to figure out what was going on!

He hopped down but he was moving very cautiously.

But he too, finally got himself to his pen.
Where he found a big surprise!
You will have to come back on Saturday to find out what it was.

Oh, and somecats were not happy with the snow either.

Farm Cat Friday - Cat in a Bag, Part III

Oh that bag is bringing lots of fun to Farm cat Sherpa and Farm cat Harry.
They have been playing and playing.
Sherpa has spent time in it...

I wonder what he is thinking?
But it was not Sherpa who ended up in the bag after last week's battle.
Oh no!

It was Farm cat Harry!
But I am not sure he is in charge of the situation.
He might be in charge of Sherpa's paw, though.

Sherpa seems determined to win back the bag!
He is giving Harry the paw!
It is good that Harry is hiding in that bag.

Sherpa finally stood back a bit to give Harry some breathing room.
Whew!
What a battle!


It was epic!
It was dramatic!
It left the bag full of cat hair!


But the two Farm cats had fun.

They meowed over the bag and are still very much friends.
As it should be!

Farm Cat Friday - Cat in a Bag, Part II

You will recall that last week found Farm cat Sherpa resting comfortably in a bag.
Until Farm cat Harry came on the scene.

Nothing like Farm cat Harry to shake things up!
Sherpa did not take kindly to being interrupted.

Whoa!
Look at those teeth!
FIERCE!
If I were you I would RUN Farm cat Harry!

But did Harry run?
NO!
He is a tough Farm cat.

The two cats played together for quite a while enjoying the bag.
Then the bag was empty!

Ooooh, what would happen now?
Who would end up in the bag?
Come back next week and see!
