Minnie has two favored spots these days, the top of the hay bales, where she cannot be seen, and on the seat of the old lawn mower, especially when the sun falls upon the vinyl and warms it. Mostly Minnie has returned to her life as a barn cat, she catches mice and rats and hunts in the garden and the barn. She is a verbal creature, Minnie has lots to say.

Flo lives on the other end of the farmhouse, in and under the porch, sometimes in the barn. It is inspiring to see Minnie make her way up to the top of the hay bales on her three legs.
