Best Products and Food for Cats

“I am not a cat person. I’m a dog person.”

When I first acquiesced to bringing home a few barn cats (my daughters wore me down), I was heard saying this mantra often.

Then I realized, while they will always be working animals on our little farm–deterring rodents from eating our animal feed and devouring my gardens, they’re pretty great companions too.

So I started researching the best products and food for these adorable farm workers. They still sleep in the barn, but they’re some of my loyal companions around here too, and we make sure to take good care of our favorite felines.
