Blissfully unaware of his central role in yesterday's drama, Deets returns to the pasture to stalk lizards and re-establish his rightful place in the food chain.
Hi Carson: Can we have a little history on this cute little guy. He's a smart barn cat. Did he arrive out of nowhere or did you adopt him from the SPCA? Has he been with you a long time? He really adds character to your ranch animal stories. Sincerely, Sandra
Sandra, Deets joined the family on April 8, 2008. I was in need of a varmint-eating barn cat and saw him advertised on craig's list. His owner had just moved to an apartment where he could no longer go outdoors and she said he was miserable, so moving him here seemed like it would be a win-win.
Here's a link to his arrival story: http://www.the7msnranch.com/2008/04/new-arrival.html
Beautiful picture. Love the contrast of Deets with the plants ( I don't know what they are!) and its so good to see Deets alive and well!!

ReplyDeleteWay to go Deets ... ain't nothin' gonna hold you back!!!
ReplyDeleteGREAT picture!
Deets is one cool customer. I think I see his guardian angel hovering nearby. Or is that Smooch? Same thing.
ReplyDeleteHow many lives has he used up now?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo, Linda. You need a Deets calendar in addition to the donkey one!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. So glad Deets is unaware of yesterday's near tragedy. So, how are you today?? Hangover?

Wonderful photo, Linda! The yellow vegetation with the bright black fur of Deets resulting in a gorgeous composition.
ReplyDeleteBTW, please, which is the name of these beautiful yellow vegetation? I saw on the yesterday post, the first photo with the same gorgeous yellow plant.

They look very similar and both are in full bloom this time of year.
Deets is one very very cool black cat. Hope he doesn't bring any 'presents' home for you.
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute! I'm glad he is okay.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for these links, Linda! Yes, they look very similar and both are gorgeous! I would love to have both on my property.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Photograph!
ReplyDeleteThis is your October calendar picture for sure. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photo. I see Deets feels right at home again. :)

Using Deets in all his fabulousness as background picture for a few days (or until something else catches my eye). Seems perfect for early fall.
ReplyDeleteMy two cats live indoors.Busy road out there.
