Patch is a funny one, she was an adult when she showed up here, hungry and just looking for a barn to stay in and some food. She has been around for I bet at least a dozen years, maybe longer. There is no telling how old she is, but she is getting old. She used to take off in the summer months for 2 or 3 months at a time, then come back for the winter. She stays full time now.
She loves the warmth of the basement and will take some canned food when she can get it.
Every spring she molts, her hair gets all matted and gnarled up with burrs and stuff over the winter and in the spring she rips it all out. I mean she will be damn near bald. I may have a pic or two of her. Her hair grows back before it gets cold out again.
She would have made a beautiful house cat. She is still a good cat though. Never been to the vet, never had a kitten, and as far as I know we are the only two humans she has ever had anything to do with.
Here she is with her fur growing back this summer.
