Calico kitty

Even the cats enjoy this bucket of skirted wool that has been sitting around forever. When my workshop door is open they will run in and find the softest fleece to bed down in. When the sheep will allow it, the cats will bed down with them, sometimes on them or next to them. But, sheep nor goats will allow the cats in the barn when they have small lambs or kids at their side. They will chase them out. When the heat lamps are on and the lambs are snuggled under them for warmth, the kitties try to get next to them, but the mamas will not have it. For some reason sheep see everything as a wolf. Guard dogs, cats, small children that move to fast, even chickens can cause them to stomp their feet as a warning. If that fails, then they will simply run away.
