"Look," she said, "you're going to need barn cats anyway, and this way you can make sure they're the same breed."
Her idea began to show merit.
"Put a bow on the thing and make it a present." she continued, "Matilda will feel obliged to accept it and care for it."
"That is a good tit for tat," I allowed. "Let's go with that plan."
She queried be about the current cat and I told her I was pretty damn sure it was a Maine Coon cat and I'll be damned if that woman didn't loop her reins around the pommel, pull out her phone and start shopping. By the time we had made it back to camp she had found one within a couple hours drive, spoken with the breeder, and arranged to go meet the cat tomorrow morning. She was efficient.
Michelle put the horses up while I shut down the camp. I realized that we would have to go into the camper to clean up, I resolved to change that tomorrow. This night, we interrupted Sonya's privacy in the camper, cleaned up, and headed off to bed.

Anonymousalmost 2 years agoEnjoying the story, but just had to query the 'known pedigree is always best' approach when it comes to farm cats.
Farm cats have selectively bred themselves for thousands of years; if they need veterinary care, or can't survive a cold winter etc, they don't breed.
The Devon Rex is known as a particularly healthy pedigree breed with few problems since they're descended from mutant farm cats.
"Due to the large size of [the Maine Coon] professionals have noticed certain health problems arising in the breed, including feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia, but with the right breeding these health problems are erased as issues.
So after a few generations with a high death rate, the descendants will be nearly as healthy but less adaptable than regular heterogeneous farm cats.

I'm guessing the whole truck and trailer are going to go time traveling, otherwise all this stocking up (mental) footage is going to be a big let down... lol
You paint such a vivid picture with your words, reading your work is like watching a movie. Not all writers pull that off. I read many stories, and frequently have no idea what the characters or environments look like, even though there are apt descriptions. Yours work well in my brain. Kudos...
@Wolf Kitty Re: dog cart and chickens
When our (newly rich-a-fied hero) bought the male Rottie, the teenage daughter arrived with the dog pulling a cart. Being the uncontrolled, rich and impulsive guy he is, our hero bought a cart. Matilda went for a ride with the dog breeder's missus, and came back with the chickens.

Anonymousover 3 years agoI have really enjoyed the build up thus far. I do hope that the hiatus is due to real world constraints and not an abrupt cessation of the effort. Great detail, great build up to the main event. Keep up the good work!
Wolfkittyover 3 years agoWhere did the chickens and dog cart come from? I had to look up dog cart. So now the question is what is pulling the dog cart or is it automated? Is there trailer going to have the power to travel back and forward in time like the Tardis? These people seem to have a lot of families and friends that will miss them if they just disappeared. They also seem like they will be leaving a lot of things undone and unfinished.
Anonymousover 3 years agoI rarely comment, but I like the detail, and the build up of the story, such foundation of the characters, human and animal is wonderful, I'm intrigued as to how 3 llamas will become a factor in the "other" part of your story
