The Kitten Named Honda

My mom doesn't like cats. But when you live in the country next to a barn, a cat haven it becomes. It seems that cats for one reason or another find themselves there.

My mom usually finds a home away from our home for them. One of them she gave to my brother Mark and his family, they call it Penelope. They have a half way house for every breathing thing under the sun… though I have yet to see a snake. Maybe they have a snake and aren't telling me?

The other two my mom had my brother Zane take two to my cousin Frances and Tia Couto's barn. They have a dairy farm, cats are needed/ Free milk and a barn full of mice. Barns and mice go hand in hand. Cat's Haven.

The fourth one is at home. My sister in law Shelley says it is a "munchkin cat". Shelley is Mat's wife, the saint, a cat lover… I think they have two hundred or at least four cats.

My nephew named the cat, "Honda". Since my dad's barn doesn't have cows, instead it is a hang out place for the guys and their motorcycles. The cat, or kitten was named, "Honda".

I asked my niece Marie, who has a camera full of photos of Honda plus other cats/kittens to send me a few for this post…. I think the photos are lost in space, or chasing Cyber mice?

When I receive the photos, I will write the rest of this post….

Stay tune….

  1. it’s fun hearing what people name their pets…..a farm, sounds wonderful too….I discovered good raw milk recently at our health food store….names are funny too…..I drive a Honda named Silver Bullet, think the name is better as Silver Lining….yet the way I drive all the time bullet seemed better, if I get a kitten I shall consider give Silver Bullet a friend just named Honda…I named my 2 Japanese maple’s Su & Shi…..LoL…xo

    Have Maci take the pictures. I know she has a camera because she is in the 4-H camera club. It will be good practice for her.

  3. I can relate to this post on many levels… suffice it to say, I too run a halfway house for wayward breathing things- including humans- any stray that was brought home was by me-including the humans and my family has always been welcoming and good to them-2 legged and four-I guess some of are just like that-

  4. Cats are very good to have on a farm.
    I hope Honda has a long, happy life there
    with the boys in the barn.

  5. When my grandmother was a young mother on a farm in Michigan, she had a cat she named “Awful Barn Smell”. Such a perfect moniker… says it all.

  6. I can’t wait to see the pictures!!! It’s strange reading one of your posts without the usual pictures, it makes me really appreciate how lovely your photographs are!! 🙂 🙂

    Our cat is named Jasper. He is gray and has peachy colored markings like the stone. The shelter gave him that name and we kept it. He loves his cat food, and if we don’t get up to feed him on time, he starts knocking things off the bedside table. He is too lazy to hunt, he sits in the window and makes a funny shaky sounding meow when he sees a bird. He made a friend with a neighbor’s kitten through the fence and now she has started visting..we call her “Girlfriend Cat.”

  8. We got a fabulous Charles Eames lounge chair. The large Herman Miller Furniture box was in the carport for a week or two. A skinny cat moved into the box and we could not resist putting out food to keep “Herman Miller” alive. Turned out he was pregnant but by then the name stuck.
