This is my cat Checkers. She is sitting on our Little Red Barn, and this is my other cat Cleo.
Sarah's Farm Cats
I got my cat Checkers when I was five years old. She was born on my mom and dad's wedding. When she was about 7 months old, she got her foot caught in our farm tractor motor, and she had to have her foot in a splinter for 1 and a half years! (These are not submitting icons, they are just for fun._
We had two cats at that time, and the other cat's name is Cleo. She was in the motor at the time too, but before too much damage could be done, my dad pulled her out.
Then about two years later, Checker's foot got caught underneath the garage door when it was closing. So I'm glad that my cats are still alive after all of they have been through!
I've been teaching how to make Checkers shake a paw. She isn't that good, but isn't really bad. Cleo came from a friend of my Gramma's that has passed away now.

This is Checkers in a pile of leaves, when we were raking.

We got Checkers from an old school friend of mine. Her name was Chelsea. She really missed Checkers!!!

When Cleo had only been at our house for about half a year, she ran away and we found her at my Great Aunt and Uncles at Halloween.

She somehow got into the garage. We got Cleo from my Grandmas friend, (that had to move into a lodge), and people couldn't bring animals in there.
She really, really missed her cat alot too. When we whistle, Checkers comes no matter where she is. It is kind of cool, because when Cleo and her are fighting, (because they really fight alot) if you whistle she'll meow to Cleo then get on her way to the whistler.
We like to shovel out our forts so that Checkers isn't uncomfortable ( her foot hurts in the cold snow, and in the cool weather.) Checkers usually likes to sleep under the deck. Or else both the cats sleep in their houses in the barn. Checkers likes to lie in the sun on the Little Red Barn!

These are pictures of Checkers sitting on the Little Red Barn step.

I love my cats! They are GREAT! I really think that they are the best animals that I have ever had!!!!! 

These are pictures of my cats that I drew.
