Barn cats are independent and mystical creatures, sometimes they want to come in, sometimes they refuse to come in. They love hunting, and often slither out in the middle of the night, if they can get someone to open the doors. Yesterday, a cold and snowy day, they wanted to come in – they are never in the farmhouse from May to November.

They spotted Maria sitting across from the wood stove and reading, and they both cuddled up with her, and with one another.

It was a pretty cozy scene, all three of these strong women curled up together by a warm fire. Minnie and Flo are remarkably sensitive when in the farmhouse, they know where to go and where not to go. They are usually found within close range of a warm stove.
