came up elsewhere on the interwebs today -

"The KattenKabinet is an art museum in Amsterdam devoted to works depicting cats."

I've been there. Also went to the floating cat sanctuary.

Both well worth a visit if you're a cat lover.

I particularly like this one from the Kattenkabinet although I don't remember seeing it.

Do you run a cat rescue or something?

Not intentionally.
They are semi feral farm cats.
I'm hoping to find homes for the kittens.

They're lucky to have such a nice home with you.

If you want to get the adult cats neutered but cost is an issue, the RSPCA and Cats Protection have a farm cat neutering scheme where they trap (if necessary) the cats, neuter them and return them to the farm. When we had a branch of CP here it was one of the things I use to deal with and it didn't cost the farmer a penny. The biggest problem we use to have was farmers who were stuck in their ways and didn't believe that neutered cats would be good mousers which, of course is nonsense as they make better mousers if they're not always pregnant or out tomming.

or just take her to the pub?

friend acquired a kitty a few years ago (elderly persian called Blu, no longer with us) who did the harness and lead thing so went to the pub sometimes -

i hadn't noticed that. may not be correct - time probably isn't as doubt they would have been down the pub at 7.30 am

Yes, I'll do that soon. Before they come back into season.
I can pick up all of them except the original feral mum.
I've been working on gaining her trust though. I can now stroke her back when she is on the bed without her hissing and running away.
