This is Libby
She is annoyed to be introduced after Sam. She is also a bit rounder now than this 1 year old picture shows. Now she is annoyed at me.
(Actually Libby is a really loving cat and the only one of our four who is a lap cat. She does have more of a tendency to growl than most cats but is not more likely to scratch.)
This is Sammy pestering me for food while I was making cheese last Saturday:
You can tell how huge he is by contrast with my size 15 shoes (US size). Sammy loves food and people. Strangely he is not interested in cheese, but he loves it when I am in the kitchen because he wheedles more canned food from me than he does from the CheeseWife™.
I am given to understand that by decree any day is Caturday, but I plan to confine myself to Fridays.
This picture is about three years old. It was the first day that Paddy consented to move in with us. Paddy (Padraig) Hogan is senior cat among the four who share our home. On the occasion of future Caturdays I will introduce Sam, Libby and Scampi.
Tomorrow I plan to pick up some raw cow’s milk at Lucky Layla Farms in Plano to make my next cheese. I plan to post pics with some notes on the process. People are always asking “How do you make cheese?” so this will be my first real explanation. Most of the time I have used Borden, Braum’s or Oak Farms pasteurized whole milk. This will be my first raw cow’s milk cheese.
