The very businesslike Red was stymied at the pasture gate this morning when confronted by Minnie, our three-legged barn cats, who planted herself at the gate and didn’t seem inclined to move. Red could have run right through her, of course, but he seemed unnerved at this imperious and entitled creature, who glowered at him for a few minutes before moving on at her own place. Red was relieved, he wanted no trouble from this cat.
