HIMMIE - Sadly, Himmie was lost in the summer of 2009 to a wild creature in MA... just can't bear to take this down, as he was a most remarkable cat/dog.
Himmie is a 6 year old uniquely colored shelter cat belonging to Amy. He was described as a "Funderbunke" cat when adopted which turned out to be the name of the kind gentleman who rescued many cats but was no longer able to take care of them. His adoption was the result of a fateful trip to Petsmart two years ago, where different shelters are allowed to show their cats to the public. He has unusual markings and coloring, including reddish eyes that are sun-sensitive. He is truly a dog in a cat suit, liking nothing better than to lay on you and have his stomach scratched. He travels in the truck on the bi-annual trips north and south and enjoys it thoroughly, just sitting on a lap and being carried into the hotel room for the overnight stay.

Minto is 1 year old and is a domestic short hair with a dollop of Siamese. Again, it was another trip to Petsmart, looking at the shelter kitties, that brought him to the farm in December 2008. He looks a bit like Himmie, only a bit bigger, with white and the unusual coloring of lilac point Siamese with tabby striping. He has striking blue eyes and the Siamese traits of talking and loud purring. He is full of confidence and a great mouser.
