Barn cats inhabit many different worlds, they seem to glide through time and space and form their own geography. Flo is sometimes to be found in the apple tree, sometimes the woodshed, often the front porch, often the back porch, sometimes the garden, and many nights (like tonight) sleeping on the couch. She got two mice and a mole today, carcasses and body parts everywhere.

Cats can be affectionate one moment, joyous serial killers the next.
