Nestled in the
valley
of Petit Jean, Blue Point and Perry Mountains our farm is a quiet place
we call home. Although we raise Red Brangus and Red Angus
registered
cattle along with our commercial herds and have three hay barns, our
cats
live with us in our home. Our nearest neighbor lives a half mile
away.
We enjoy the
wide-open
spaces and realize that our cats appreciate the same joys of
life.
On this page, you will see some of the scenery that we share with our
sweet
cats. We believe that a stress free environment is an essential
and
important part of raising healthy felines. This coupled with the
best food nature and cat food companies have to offer, helps us achieve
our goals here at PfsstCats Cattery.
To the North, our
cats
share our view of Petit Jean Mountain and like to watch our cows
graze.
In the South, there is Perry Mountain. To the West, there is one
of my favorite ponds, which has an old Mulberry tree that we share with
the song birds. There are always enough berries to share with our
feathered friends. Just behind the pond, our cats have a
panoramic
view of Blue Point Mountain. To the East they have a view of our
young stand of bamboo.
Most of all, we
want to
raise happy and healthy cats. For this reason, we do not practice
long term caging of our cats, because we feel this would be detrimental
to our goal. In cases when segregation is required, such as with
birthing queens and stud quarters, those cats have separate rooms or
walk-in
areas. All our cats have access to a large out door covered run.
Our cats play and
lounge
outside in this rustic, country-size, covered run, which measures 18
ft.
W x 40 ft. L x 15 ft. H and is constructed out of our home-grown Cedar
trees and sturdy 10-gauge 1" x 2" welded wire. Our cats
scratching
posts for the outdoors are also made of solid Cedar tree trunks.
Currently, we are in the process of adding another spacious outdoor
run. Shadey
is perched on top of his favorite Cedar
scratching
post out in the outdoor run.
Every year, our
home-raised
Canadian Geese migrate, but in the Spring return home to raise their
young
on our west pond. All the cats enjoy watching the young goslings
graze in the fields and test their wings. On one of my trips to
Alaska,
I visited Creamer's Dairy. I was delighted to see a field full of
Canadian Geese and wondered, fancifully, if our geese may have been
among
the gaggle. Thank you for visiting the PfsstCats Pfamily Pfarm.
