About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

Pablo is more a middle aged cat. With proper care while he scouts around and does his work, predators aside, it should see him go another decade if all goes well.

[@Broockle]

that'd be nice 😣

[@Nagarath16]

Yeah but around age 8 you should take cat to vet once a year to check their kidney levels. That's already the age when kidney damage starts to show in many cats and catching it early helps keeping the cat healthy for much longer time.

[@heathertaylor-nicholson9387]

The question is if he'll survive the winters. It must be very cold if the enclosed structures are in the negative degrees.

[@jammies1431]

@@chiwanau Can always set up DIY heated boxes. Many people in the north do it. Basically, you have a heating unit in a dog house type structure. People will keep them on their patio and set up cameras to see if the local strays end up finding them to use while the sun is down.

I used to be allergic to cats - asthma - but then I fell in love with a girl who had two cats. After a few months, where I had to use my asthma-spray all the time, the symptoms ceased, and today i have no allergic reactions at all, when I am with cats. Love seems to be able to cure allergies. I guess this is what happens to you too, Morgan. Who would not fall in love with these beautiful cats?

[@gothic_oma]

I love it! I have a similar story... I was definitely allergic to cats. But one day while shopping around yard sales, I fell in love with a kitten that one of the properties was rehoming. My husband was trying to talk me out of it because of my allergies. Within a year, my cat allergy completely ceased. That was 30 years ago and I have had cats ever since. 🥰

[@gd2234_]

We have a tiny, 20yo cat at my stable who still hunts everyday. She catches mice, chipmunks, and baby squirrels. For the stable, retirement is only when the cat asks for it (hanging out in the viewing room more than going for hunts, no longer asking for outside time, etc. or when they’re injured and can’t be a barn cat anymore.)

[@angelinalanzillotti2773]

Love the Kitty Cam. Looks like she runs around with ballerina toe shoes on. So sweet.

[@debbys-abqnm4537]

Maybe the cats, Toby, the chickens/ducks/geese, the cows... each set can be featured on The Dodo, though it may bring more local attention than Morgan wants. Some planning with the town might help. Show people around the world scenes on the farm and in the friendly little town (that might like more tourists). "It's a good thing that city boy moved here!"

[@cjjlmorris]

I wish someone could tell me the brand and model of the Kitty camera❓🤣😁

[@Dobviews]

Pablo has quite a few more good years in him as a mouser. Once he gets to be about 15 he will likely have a harder time maintaining his body temperature and get a little slower. Uncle Ralph used to set up a chicken heat light for him in the barn but worried about leaving it on all night long. Soo, I made a cat cubby out of yarn with a pillow underneath to keep him toasty with his own body heat. We used to come in during the heavy winter mornings and Mickey would be in his cubby with only his nose sticking out. Super cute. The cat house you made for him above Toby is nice but in a few years it may help to get him a little cat cubby to help hold his own body heat.

[@freedomfighter4990]

I've heard from folks who care for feral cats that the Snuggle Safe Dog/Cat Microwave Heat Pads work really well & stay warn for 8-10 hrs. They build them little cat houses & leave the heaters in them under their blankets on very cold nights.

My parents had a cat (gorgeous calico) show up and take over their barn. She HATED people but was a great hunter. Since my parents don't have any rodent issues, my dad caught her and brought her to my property. She doesn't go outside, but what she manages to accomplish inside our barn is incredible. Named her Koshka (if you know what that means, pretend its super original), and eventuallyshe became a true lovebug. In addition we adopted Mushka (a gorgeous dilute calico) about two years later. I too am allergic to cats but they make it worth the effort to suffer through it.

A friend's Maine Coon Cat, Clarence, lived very well to age 25. Maine Coons are long-lived cats, but it probably helped that Susan, the friend, is a veterinarian.

[@MissRyukkie]

My cat is 15 years old and while she's an indoor cat she used to be a really good mouser for us until about a year ago when she started developing arthritis. She can still walk and run around with little difficulty but it's very apparent that she's having trouble climbing the stairs and jumping up on things. We had to move her litter box to the first floor so she didn't have to climb up the stairs to go. Arthritis and possibly kidney issues might be the biggest problems for Pablo in the future. A "retirement" area would be great for you cats once they get in their senior years. Maybe build an enclosed outdoor space connected to the house with a cat door. The Kitten Academy has a nice set up with pet doors that can be tuned to a cat's microchip or specific collars. That way you can let Pablo be outside a little but he can come back in the house without you having to monitor him. I know all this is probably like 5 years down the line but it's something to think about for the future.

[@gkdvrcb]

My cat was born a barn cat, she's about 18 now and still a fierce killer if allowed....she's retired indoors and spends her days under a heat lamp, but if she has the opportunity, rodents stand no chance. It was only a couple years ago she killed 3 chipmunks in one day, in the catio (catios are highly suggested by the way)

[@kevinbaker6168]

The thing to think of for Pablo's retirement is will he be happy being a house cat? Outdoor cats often don't adapt well to being indoor cats. Even with old age they still crave being out and having adventures, even if it's just sleeping in a warm box in the barn, interrupted by a snack run or an occasional mousing hunt in the hay.

[@gd2234_]

I can 100% attest to this. We have a 20 year old barn cat at my stable, she still kills baby squirrels, chipmunks, and mice regularly. She’d be miserable as an indoor cat

For Pablo - Even though you mentioned retiring him and maybe turning him into an indoors cat, I would consider that.. Maybe he wants to live out his days as a barn cat or an outdoor cat. Making him stay indoors could make him lose his will to carry on faster if he isn't doing what he wants to be doing. Much love xx

[@daffodilunderhill7066]

Maybe just let Pablo sleep in the mud room every night.

Our ol' kitty is 21. She was a great mouser until she turned 20, that's when she went deaf. Now her favorite activity is napping on her heating pad and being fed treats. She's officially retired.

[@11matt11]

I can't tell if Toby protects his food more when Morgan is around, and then doesn't worry when he's by himself with the cats, and lets them eat. Or it's the other way around, and he acts real nice to the barn cats when Morgan is around, and is much tougher when he's by himself when he becomes the alpha who protects the farm.

[@debbys-abqnm4537]

It seems easier for Toby to play with the cats, cows and humans than it would be to play with the birds. He knows who will see him as a guard and/or as a playmate :)

[@billiejane3571]

I worry that allowing the cats to interfere with his food is confusing the pecking order.

[@SadisticSenpai61]

@@billiejane3571 Dogs are pack animals. They're used to sharing and it's part of their instincts to share. They make sure everyone in the pack gets some food because having a starving pack member means a pack member that can't help hunt/work. So while Toby will make sure he eats his share of the food, he wants the other members of his pack (such as Pablo) to have some too. He wants to make sure they're eating okay. It's part of his instincts. I bet if Morgan were to feed Pablo at the same time and in the same area as Toby, Toby would be less inclined to share with Pablo. Cats often eat communally as well - they'll bring their kills to a communal area and eat there. It's safer for them that way (cats are very aware that they are both predator and prey). And sometimes a more dominant cat will steal the kill of a less dominant cat. Cats are a lot more social than most ppl think.

[@KellySBishopIndieWriter]

For a "retirement home" that your barn cats might adjust to easier, you might look into attaching an enclosed "catio" to your house. It could be a toasty warm room with cosy beds/cat trees that still provide a good view of outside through the glass panes - and maybe a cat door so they don't feel confined.

Pablo will certainly let you know when he's ready to transition into a retired indoor cat. It'll most likely be winter time when he'll start trying to come inside. I have one who was feral whom has over the last year and a half, become increasingly affectionate and is now staying inside more than out. I just have to convince his partner to do the same! Outdoor cats generally only live half as long as indoor cats, but you take very good care of your animals so I don't doubt his will be much longer as well. My only suggestion is to provide an insulated cat house, maybe with a chicken heater or heat lamp in the barn, so that he and the other cats can more easily maintain their body weight. Cats burn tons of calories keeping warm! My cats typically eat twice as much in b the winter months!

[@Kiraiko44]

People, if you're not a vet don't comment saying Pablo isn't old or isn't a senior, etc, like Morgan thinks he's about to die or something and you need to educate him. My cat is 8 and this year the vet told me she's officially a senior cat. This is when their bodies start to actually feel the effects of aging. They're more likely to start having issues with their teeth, joints, weight, eyes, hearing, etc. Those things aren't guaranteed to happen and many cats make it well into the mid teens, or even further, and stay perfectly healthy. But it really helps their chances of making it that far in that good of a condition if you start keeping an eye on their health and treating them appropriately to their age. And if Pablo starts having issues with being able to get around, or see, or hear, he's far less likely to make it to 20 living outside as a barn cat. So Morgan is doing the right thing, acknowledging that he's getting older and that it might not be best for his long-term health to always keep him outside

It has been so fast watching her grow up it didn’t seem like that long ago when you brought her to the farm…She just is adorable and she has such great personality.

You should build a house to all the future cats to retire in. It would be smarter and cheaper though, if you just build your allergic self a shed, and YOU move in there and let the cats and wifey enjoy the house! 🤣😂

Hey Morgan I remembered you said you were not a cat person. But you are. Thanks for another heart warming video in the middle of winter.

I loved the cat cam! Seeing her little paws 🐾

My oldest cat was nearly 25 when he got sick and died. He was active his whole life. Our other cats has been between 17-22 and active nearly to the end. All of them could go in and out as they pleased, and everyone got food from the veterinarys foodsuply. So long as your barncats thrive and love it outside, let them do as they like. 8 years are not old for a cat.

Kitty cam is basically cat parkour 24/7. the george Micheal freedom LOL

Ginny clearly does love the camera work. She’s so cute peering into the dishes of the others. Your story-telling certainly makes my boring life a bit more entertaining.

Poor Toby dog getting beat up by a cat for his food. Lol. Toby has such a big heart for that naughty cat.

My neighbor's barncat moved in with me two years ago. He is now 22 and spends the winters in front of the fire and the summers basking in the sun. A pretty good retirement if you ask me.

[@rodisham]

Assuming no serious injuries and regular health checks he should have way more than 2 more good years on the job.

Lovely video

*@Gold Shaw Farm* 3:11 Solution?* You can microchip Pablo, then get one of those electronic cat-doors installed in your house, so when Pablo becomes old, he get a "promotion" and can sleep inside at night, but still go outside & hunt as much & whenever he want (would be nice for Lily Barncat too, to get out sometimes). Then if something bad happens (eg. a fox or something) then at least he dies as a free cat while doing what HE WANT to do. "Is there any better way to die?" that's the most important question! Think of it like with the rest of the birds: "Pablo should only have to get ONE bad day".

[@Janeoffools]

Agree, would be cruel to take away his freedom. Must be his choice to come and go

[@Janeoffools]

Roasted chickpea and carrot salad? Hmmm. Think it’ll stick with my lamb chops, oxtail, bacon and eggs 😂

[@meenha1976]

I brought over two from California, one was quite old, she died in my arms at age 19, the second one at 22😢😢 still miss them, I have two more now, they're both over 13

Buck has a good, solid, and complete crow🎉😀

I have an almost 19 year old cat. He has kidney failure but he is still eating good and being cuddly. So I think its still more life in him. He has been an inside cat for the last few years though, and I think thats why he is still alive. Traffic is the 1 thing that kills animals, at least here we live.
