We always had cats running around our farm, at least half a dozen at a time. They were always underfoot unless you were 4 years old and then you couldn't catch one to save your life! They seemed to know that they should stay away from kids in that age range. Anyway, I remember one time when I tried all morning to catch one of those darned cats so I could play with it. After what seemed like hours I finally caught one and just to make sure I would know where it would be next time, I put it in a place that I would be sure to find it....., the empty galvanized steel milk can. Needless to say, dad discovered my hiding place when he went to put the milk out for the dairy truck to pick up, the next morning. I'm sad to say, after that we only had 5 cats running around instead of 6.
