By Julie Turner-Crawford

ike many of you, we have a couple of cats hanging around to help keep mice and other pests under control. Because these cats are mean to other cats, and each other, we don’t have any strays staying around long Julie Turner-Crawford either. They are a couple of tough cookies. is a native of Dallas Our tactical squad of elite feline warriors, howCounty, Mo., where she ever, is getting older. The oldest cat, Boo, dubbed grew up on her family’s farm. She is a graduate the “Huntress,” was very prolific in her prey-taking of Missouri State skills in her younger days. She spends most of her University. To contact time in the garage now, especially in the winter Julie, call 1-866-532-1960 months, or sunning on the porch. At nearly 15, or by email at editor@ she’s earned her rest. ozarksfn.com. The other commando cat is nearly 13, has been feral for most of her life, and she’s a fighter. Skylee has battle scars, smells to high heaven, is missing fur here and there, and is not a fan of most people. Of those she does like, she tolerates limited doses of attention. It’s not unusual to see her coming through the pasture with a mouse, lizard or mole in her mouth, growling at anything she passes, including people, as she goes to finish off her dinner. One recent cold morning, Skylee was on the deck; she didn’t feel well. She hadn’t been herself for a while, but she wouldn’t let me touch her. This day, however, she was ready for help. I grabbed some towels (remember, she’s a fighter), wrapped her up and brought her inside. Skylee was cold, muddy, battered and exhausted. Seeing her so frail broke my heart. For the first time in her life, she allowed me to hold her. I wasn’t sure if she was going to make it. An attempt to get her into a vehicle for a trip to the vet proved to be a fiasco, but I managed to recapture her later that day. She slept for hours wrapped up near the woodstove after I got some meds into her. We were prepared to find her deceased the next day in the bed I made for her in the mudroom, but Skylee was full of surprises. — Continued on Next Page
