The Middleton Place barnyard cat is something of an independent fellow that chooses his leisure spots based on his idea of comfort.

Here  a bit of sun had been warming the bricks behind one of the barnyard displays. Ted called it a cauldron –toil & trouble and all that.

The cat didn’t care and clearly wasn’t worried about that giant thing falling on him.

My favorite picture of him is from 2021: Barnyard Cat, Stretch and Snooze
