Oh NO!  They don't want us here anymore!

Description


---
At Barn #5 at this past weekend's Annual Bucks County Distinctive Barn Tour. A magnificent estate, it is not difficult to imagine this poor kitty's consternation!
----
My favorite book as a child was "Gabriel Churchkitten and the Moths." In the story, Peter the Churchmouse has overheard Parson Peaseporridge say he has to get a new cat because his old cat is moth-eaten. The church animals then take extraordinary measures to try and make Gabriel more attractive, only to discover in the end that the Parson really wanted to get a new HAT--NOT a new CAT! The story was my first introduction to the importance of clear communication!

Poor kitty, is what I feel when I look at this image. But hopefully they will come to a good home. I hope they can stay together. We got two kittens, brother and sister from a shelter a couple of months ago and it's great to see them play together. I love your story! #10773506

I'm with, Gord. I see two little run away kittens in the making! I'll write the story and you do the photos! :D What do you say??? What beautiful markings. I want him. :) !!! And what timing to capture this little one right at the clipboard.

Great job and I enjoyed reading about your favorite childhood book. I took choir for several years growing up and this is where I learned to enunciate! It's vital while singing ~AND~ speaking!!! :D

Great job!
