Slice: A Kitten Walks Into A Barn …

The Slice had asked about friendships involving horses and barn cats. “Well, Maggie’s not exactly a horse,” wrote North Idaho’s Diane Newcomer. “She’s a 47-year-old mule.” Maggie has a feline friend, a 5-year-old orange mouser named Thunderfoot. “They have been buddies ever since Thunderfoot was a kitten,” said Newcomer, a retired librarian who lives with her surveyor husband on a ranch near Clark Fork. They have horses, cattle, and Maggie the white mule. And then there’s the sturdy cat that got her name from the sound she made scampering across a tin roof as a kitten. “She joins Maggie for breakfast every day, and most evenings for dinner,” said Newcomer/ Paul Turner , SR Slice.
