Don’t let that expression fool you. She eats up scritches. We tried to bring her inside but she prefers being outside. Also her ears froze off one cold winter, but I think it makes her look quite modern. She’s too old to come down so my mom regularly comes up here with food and water, and of course scritches. Notice the mouse trap to her right in the first photo, because this lady don’t catch mice anymore.

"Also her ears froze off one cold winter, but I think it makes her look quite modern."... modern?
OscelotHaalan
maybe "sleek"?
Ana5ta51a
Maybe next winter you can get a heat lamp for her?
Josesharlo
She’s spending winters in the muck room with a space heater now

Grew up on a farm. it was always such an amazing feeling to finally befriend the barn cats that showed up.

That mouser sure has had an awesome life and all in her own terms. +1 for her and your mom making sure her retirement goes smooth.
Josesharlo
You nailed it! Thank you =)

I hope I could still meow when I get to that old

My old man was 22 before he passed and he was a noisy boy. A good boy too.

She is so scruffly!

I was able to meow when I was 19. There’s hope, @TheRealMrHat

My cat is maybe 20? I have no idea how that demon is still alive.

Many mice have known their end by Candy’s fury.

I grew up with barn cats! They can be mean or super sweethearts!

She's seen a few battles in her day.

You should give her a day at the spa: de-matting, shampoo, combing, treats, massage etc. She looks like she's earned it.

Gotta love the half-ferral independence of the farm cat. It's not unlike the scrappy spirit that built this country.

We have a 20 year old outside cat and she doesn't have teeth but somehow catches mice and birds
zirrah
So cool. I love animals. Good on you guys for taking care of her.
TheRealCarpy
My friend calls her barn cat "Orange Cat with One Eye." You'll never guess what he looks like. But seriously, lot's of love to Candy!
iluvplants
I love you, Candy.
Pizzzzzza
Wow, that's old for a barn cat
Jackrabbitry
That's old for any cat. Good for her!
Josesharlo
That girl is a survivor. We’ve had coyotes all around but she knows her business.
tiredofyall
And she is calico to boot! I find the brown tabby’s tend to last longer due to camouflage. Truly a tough kitty you have
GoodDogsBront
Man mine just died at what we think was 21. Fuckin cat could buy a beer
AimlessSavant
I wonder what the cause of death was.

Liver failure, due to binge drinking.

MAN those cats look so annoyed and I'd love to feel sorry for them it just makes it that much funnier instead.

Still a beautiful cat

What is a scritch? I read all of your post in an english accent
Naturally90
I doubt he is English
VB6ftw
Who cares
Naturally90
Why read it in an English accent then?
Josesharlo
I’m actually from North Dakota, and my accent reflects it clearly haha

Where in ND?

You’ve been around since 2013 without knowing?

It's what they're doing in the second pic.

Like a nibbling motion with your digits inthe neck and head area

A scritch is the equivalent of a scratch for cats.
Yinyang107
It's more like a pleasant version of scratch.
bambulina
Scritches (to my reckoning) are scratches that happen on the face. Combination scratch/rub. Like crack for kitties :)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
In the current market, 1 scratch can be traded on the stock exchange for 4 scritches. It's a bad time for scritch investors.
sevrono
I've always considered a scritch to be like a less vigorous scratch
therealsarahconnor
It’s comments like this that remind me how much I love Imgur and it’s Imgurians

Common misconception, scritches can be just as vigorous, or even more so, than scratches.
