I have LGCs!

Livestock Guardian Cats, that is!

Pair of barn kitties, live with the goats, and go wherever the goats go. It's so funny to see them heading out to pasture after AM feeding. Seven doelings with their tails curled up, and two kitties with long tails sticking straight up in the air. And, in the tall grass, that's all you CAN see, is their tails!

Yes, pictures are needed!

I think I have LGC too. Momma kitty is in one of our storage barns with her kittens. I went down one evening to check on them. We leave one of the roll-up doors open slightly so Momma can come and go. While I was there, a opossum started to come under the door. Momma kitty was on that opossum in a split second. Kicked its butt until it took off running.

That is sounds like it would've made a great picture.

We have a barn cat that does that too. I always think he's more like a dog as well. He doesn't stay in the pasture with the goats but he goes with us to take the boys to their pasture & then the girls too. He loves to hang out in the duck pen too believe it or not but never chases the ducks.

Definitely need pics. I have a wonderful cat who also goes with the goats but only when they are running loose in the driveway and yard. My mower broke and I can't afford a new one so i let my does loose to help. They love it but the cat isn't brave enough to stay with them in close quarters because they butt him and snort at him. Poor cat, he is so mellow, doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

My 3 yr old blk/white male barn cat always goes on hikes up thru our fields and to the woods with my goats and I. When he gets tired he starts to beg to be carried...if I don't pick him up, he becomes a cat backpack ( front of back) determined I WILL carry him. Last night he brought a traveling gal pal over to our back porch. He let that starving lil girl eat his whole dinner, and then he curled up to her in his box. This is an intact male. Of course he curls up to our house dog too. A couple yrs ago one evening, I was sitting outside and he kept coming up and meowing at me. He'd leave but came back and I paid more attention to where he was going off to. I saw him sitting in the tall weeds of the ditch down our gravel road. He had led me to an injured, abandoned, crying newborn fawn.
