Kittens in Haystack II: 2011 Barn cats shows great potential

There's not so many, but they have something better than numbers: quality
Click on headline for story and Jennifer Crawhorn album

Jennifer Crawhorn was taking pictures in a barn on the Bobby Lynn Graves farm and discovered some most delightful new residents: Black and white fuzzy kittens just a few days old.

This Kitten Chronicle includes several photos of the precious lot - and perhaps, will inspire some tributes to one of the noblest creatures: Barn cats, some of the few of their species who repay in honest toil and diligence for their upkeep.



They curb crib crime as efficiently as as their colleagues in the endless battle against rodent piracy, but frighten far fewer fraidies than their noble blacksnake counterparts, few of whom rise to the dual role of guardian and pet, as the barn cat almost always does.

Jennifer Crawhorn notes that this year's family is quite small, but it isn't the quantity, but the quality which counts. These are definitely high quality cats.
