Good Morning,
I was out walking and enjoying myself the other morning…just taking life nice and easy…when here comes KITTY. She is one of my new Lane’s End Farm friends.
I absolutely love other animals…and on this morning…I was able to spend time with KITTY. I hope she was not concerned that our sizes are so different. I really am very gentle!
I must say, I am quite used to being around cats. At BARN 55, we had 3 of them who were all really a part of our daily lives. They constantly relaxed around the barn and ‘hung out with us on the grass by the trees’ while we were grazing.
This particular cat reminds me so much of home. KITTY is the exact same color as one of MY BARN 55 cats. For 5 years, she was very much a part of my life. Each morning, when they’d wash the saddle pads and set them out in the sun to dry…she would go out to the grass and nap on them. No matter what happened, she’d just relax there, in the sun, and enjoy watching us graze each day! Often, we’d have to graze right around her. She wouldn’t even move…she was so used to us! I think deep down inside, our Barn 55 Kitty always knew we would watch out for her!
Such FUN!
Enjoy your day!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Zenny, every picture of you radiates such happiness, joy and affection. This is just another that shows your kind, gentle nature. Love you lots, big girl!

Zenny – it’s always good to make new friends and this site does it so well. You are such a gentle giant. I have three cats myself. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Have fun munching the bluegrass and socializing with Tasty Temptation. I hope Pirate Queen is doing well and you get to socialize with her too.

Hello Z and Kitty, Thank you Sarah for the very cute photo!! I missed the yoga daily diary and chuckled when I read it. I have just started taking yoga classes. Just Love It!!!!

What a sweet picture… looks like the beginning of a great friendship!

Dearest Zenyatta,
I’m so glad you explained how you horses are so accepting and loving of cats. I have eight cats, who live outdoors and around the barn, and they love our horses. In the mornings before daylight whenever I feed, they love to watch the horses eat their breakfast. And I never have to worry about them being stepped on–the horses seem to know how to tiptoe around the little critters. :)
Hope you’re enjoying your day, dear Queen!
Love and hugs,
Stel

Dear Great One,
This photo of you and the cat is so sweet. You have your head down at cat-level in a sincere effort to communicate with another species and are channeling such a sincere and open look to give the cat confidence in communicating with you. You are so dear! Love you tons.

Too Cute- Thanks for Sharing Z – when I would visit you I would see Kitties and the front and back gates too, they had food and water and were always wanting to see what’s going on around them.
Terry Crow
@DJ and Judy Berube-Thanks. @Susan in TN-Just don’t let Chopper go gangsta on my friend Chester.

Lovely picture Zenny. It reminds me of a nursery rhyme “Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been. I’ve been up to London to visit the Queen” and yes, cats can certainly look at Queens. Kitty is showing great respect, looks as if she is curtseying. How nice of you to get down to her level.

Such a great pic!! :) Dusty said hi again.Love you Mrs.Queen Zenntatta!
Paul
Zenyatta, I am really happy to hear that you have become so friendly with a new cat to Lane’s End Farm which reminded you of an old feline friend of yours from barn 55. You two stay friendly for as long as possible and add some other animal friends as well. In many ways, animals are better than people. I sure wish I could come out and visit you. If I did, I might not ever leave.
Roberta Smith
Hello Pretty Girl! I think kitty was just a bit shocked that she finally got to meet “The Great Zenyatta!” I see you, too, were very inquisitive! I love you Zenyatta!
Annabel Girard
My cat, Hieronymus, looks just like your barn cat.
tony and sue
Zenny, you are such a delight…we have never seen you take a bad picture and this one is very special. It just proves friends come in all shapes and sizes, colors and types. We bet when you make friends they’re all “keepers”.
Barbara Wood
@Susan in Tn–thanks for the update on Chopper/Chester.
@J Smith–wish all the Dumplings could have been there.
Again, that picture reminds me of US. We come in all shapes, sizes, and stages of life, but we are all FRIENDS.
DJ
TC: You are always welcome…more thanks to You!

Does anyone know when Hollywood Park is going to open again for training-stabling of horses? Also, anyone know when racing will start again at Hollywood Park? I know that the FairPlex in Pomona is set to open later this week.
Thanks for your help…. G

We also have a barn cat that looks like yours, and our horse is very careful and gentle around it. Love that photo :)
