Mrs Jones is the owner of quite a few cats...well they are needed see, to catch the mice and rats ! The barn where the hay and feed is kept for Hercules and others, makes a rather cozy place out of the wind and rainy weather for the little furry creatures as well as free food for them, so it does.

| Garfield, Molly, Tabby and Felix |
The names of just a few of the cats we have on the farm are, Felix, Garfield, Tabby and Molly.
Mrs Jones has a favourite cat, the one called Molly. Molly says she is exempt from catching vermin as she says it's 'beneath' her...whatever that means ! She likes nothing better than stretching out and lying around in the sun. Her favourite hobby besides eating is...reading the newspaper. Well I don't know whether to believe her or not ? Mrs Jones allows Molly to live in the farmhouse. The other cats have to make do with living outside. Whats wrong with living outside ? They have the barn and the stables to hunt in or lie around in out of the rain. The rain is no problem for us sheep. No we're not soft.

| She says she reads the news |
Oh here comes Molly now. I walk a few steps towards her.
"Hello Molly," baa's I, "What are you up to today then ?"
"Just the usual," she meows, "a bit of this and a bit of that. She sit's and licks her paws, I know she is itching to tell me more...and sure enough she meows, "Did you see all the mice I caught last night ? The Mistress was very pleased with me."
Now I knows and you knows that Molly's stretching the truth here because I'll let you into a little secret see. Last night me and a few of the girls were up by the gate watching the proceedings of the other cats bringing their 'kills' to Molly, who picked them up and dropped them at the farmhouse door.
Whatever favours she gave them in return...I couldn't really say. But there is something definitely fishy here ! In the morning Mrs Jones praises Molly when she sees all the little dead bodies lined up...but she doesn't touch them. No she doesn't !
