How can you resist such an
appeal?
It begins with the eyes. Such
large eyes, wide with innocence.
Shy, yet curious. Eager, but un
certain.
These eyes, bright buttons of
interest, peer from the safe haven
offered by the oval-shaped center
of a cement block half.
Framed in a cloud of misty gray
fluff, these eyes beg us to come and
play, yet withdraw into the hiding
spot as we approach.
Gingerly, you poke a finger
toward the softness of a tiny paw.
It promptly bats back at you and
the game has begun.
Once again, we have all fallen

Pre-emergence: Banvel tank-mixed with * Lasso* to get broadleaf

prey to the epidemic of affection
generated by a nest of adorable
kittens.
How can you resist such an
appeal?
Born in the cozy confines of an
old corrugated metal trash can,
kept at the barn for holding used
baler twince, the litter of adorables
never reached the point of really
fearing people.
Each time any of us passed by,
feeding the cows or sweeping the
feed troughs, a stop just had to be
made to chat with proud Mother
Gray about her family of five.
When the confines of the trash
can overflowed with growing
kittens, the youngsters built them
a spacious living area within the
hay bales, where the playful antics
of the babies could be enjoyed. But
too many interested visitors, in
cluding the dog who loves to watch
kittens, apparently irked their
devoted mother.
One day they disappeared,
hauled off to some location which
none of us could uncover for a
while.
Her destination, we finally
discovered, had been a back
comer of the bull pen, jealously
guarded by about 1,500 pounds of
macho, he-man Holstein muscle.
One misstep of those hard hooves
on a tiny kitten and...well, it was
just too much for any of us to think
about.
Figuring humans knew more
than cats, we set off to relocate the
kittens. First, we set up
housekeeping for them in a vacant
calf hutch. She carted them back to
the bull.
Next we tried a temporarily-

empty calf pen. Again, back they
went to muscle-man. This cat’s no
novice she know’s full well that
no kids, and few adults, go poking
around in that particular pen.
Time cures all. As all children
do, the kittens have cut the apron
strings and relocated themselves
to where they want to play. That
happens to be smack in the middle
of the calf-and-heifer raising area,
where miscellaneous boxes,
buckets and tools offer a really
neat playground.
Like between the tines of the
bamboo rake used for cleaning out
the heifers’ trough. Or the broom
handle, handy for climbing up and
down like a fireman’s pole. Best of
all is a T-joint of plastic drainage
pipe, a perfect kitten play-tunnel.
I sit on the old well cover for a
moment and Marco Polo (the
explorer of the bunch) crawls into
my lap, purring with a vengeance.
A brother (sister?) wraps tiny
paws around my ankle and unties
my sneaker strings.
How can you resist such an
appeal?
And they wonder why it takes me
so long to do my bam chores.
