The little cats have discovered that milking time means free hot milk. 
So now there is a full crew of cats perched on beams and doors and gates all over the barn, waiting patiently for the pump to turn off when they silently converge on the milking room.
Guess what Aunty is up to? I will call her so you can see for yourself. 
Aunty!? Where are you Aunty Del? 
There you are, Aunty. What is going on with you Aunty. You have been behaving differently lately. Though I can’t quite put my finger on it until I saw this.
Hmm. Are you pregnant Aunty? I think maybe you might be.
Do you see dear reader? Her udder is dropping and one side of her belly is dropping too. Though she did not look pregnant last week – Carlos’s babies are so small I have had very little warning of any of them. And Aunty had a very small udder last time too.
If Del were pregnant I would be very, very surprised as I was sure she came into heat when we first brought her back from the other side. What do you think? That looked like a little udder filling up to me.
I have no intention of milking through the winter though, I am not even here at Christmas time, so if she does have a baby she can raise him herself without me milking her as well. Let’s hope her udder stays nice and small and this stays an option. 
There now. That certainly was a bit of a surprise. Though I cannot bring myself to believe it. I will bring her into a field closer to the action today so I can keep an eye on her.
I hope you have a lovely day.

Keeping cows makes one udder-wise!
The ‘experts’ insist that cats are ;lactose-intolerant. Surprising how many cats completely disagree.
Seriously? That’s hilarious! I wonder how they figured that out.
I’ve never met a cat that didn’t like milk. It’s a classic!
It is fascinating to research this. It appears that the majority of humans are similarly intolerant, as it happens. They lose the ability to process the lactose. Like animals, they still like the taste so drink it for that reason. HOWEVER, if a milk diet is continued uninterrupted beyond babyhood or kitten-hood, the tolerance is retained. This doesn’t happen in the majority of countries.
That does make sense.
Don’t suppose it would have anything to do with Pasteurisation?
Truly doubt it’s the milk’s fault:/
well these things happen….who is looking after all the animals whilst you are away

oh my….surprise! or should I say Sir Prize! and those cats are having a lovely time drinking warm milk!
Hi Ce. I found the perfect Christmas gift for a couple of real coffee hounds but unfortunately, Amazon will not send these to NZ. I guess I shall have to find something either here or in Australia, but that means you miss out.
Oh no. We must stay in touch in case Christmas festivities get the best of me
When are you comng home. Do let’s meet up if onky for coffee. I am very mobile so you dset tge time and place. Really looking forward to meeting you after all this time. JX
