Sploosh!! Monday Feb 17 2025. A super gusty day on Amherst Island. It was insanely windy and cold, but the island showed us her savage beauty.

Bagheera Valentine ♥️
Patio panther
Not a pet
Not exactly wild
Bagheera and Sally have a strong bond
Affectionate
"I never thought I`d feel this way about a cat"
They go for walks together - a farmer has never seen a cat follow someone walking up and down the road (pic 3)
As Sally rehabs her foot after a stroke last year, Bagheera is right at her heels
They snuggle on the patio
Sally responding to your wonderful comments - purrhaps some knitting
Bagheera is a heating pad
Towards the rest of us, Bagheera is cat
Aloof
That`s not totally accurate, she likes Kyle and Kayleigh the shepherd team well enough - they bring interesting smelling foster lambs around sometimes (pics 6 & 7)
She`ll rub against workpants but it`s mostly just going through the motions
"This is the spot where I eat breakfast" - Bagheera
I do my best to keep the rodents under control
I slink
A shadow
I am Bagheera
I will rub against your leg
Purrring
Yellow eyes on exit route
This is my home
My territory
I know the voids
The places secret only to me
The gaps in the barn
The shelter under the shed
.
Bagheera would like everyone to know that the farm and Wool Shed will be open on Family Day Monday.

It`s the perfect day to stay cozy after that nasty winter storm!
This red fox and it`s mate were soaking up the sun during this encounter back in 2023 on Amherst Island. On that trip I spotted 8 foxes, including one without a tail!
