Urban Fur: Henpecked!
I see a number of amazing things while knocking around our fair city— but a cat guarding a hen house? That’s a new one for me!
It was explained to me by the very nice volunteer at this endeavor, Bushwick City Farm, that this friendly feline’s name is Little Grey Cat. She was given this moniker by the local children.
Photographing chickens is difficult. They are not terribly keen on the idea of posing for the camera. But they are quite keen on pecking them— which is what this sassy gal did shortly after taking the above photo.
An prodigal sock, however, is another matter altogether. This item caused quite stir. So much so its founder (as seen above having this trophy removed from her beak) was pursued by her enviously feathered friends. Conclusion: chickens do not like cameras— but they do fancy footwear!
Meanwhile, this goose calmly observed this hilarity from her coop.
Ever seen a guinea hen? Well now you have seen two of them!
And Little Grey Cat presides over it all! You can learn more about Buchwick City Farm and the amazing project they have in the works on nearby Stockton Street by clicking here.

I happened upon this fetching lass (who clearly has a taste for the finer things in life) while passing Bagatelle yesterday afternoon. Intrigued, I went inside so as to inquire of her name. The kindly storekeeper explained that Iris, despite her kittens being adopted, is still awaiting a loving home.
The details I received about Iris are scant. She is two years old and I can personally attest she is petite and quite sweet— if a mite bit shy. Anyone interested in giving this lady a forever home (or simply a head scratch) can/should swing by 714 Manhattan Avenue. You will not be disappointed!

Today’s sunny, if a bit brisk, weather did go unappreciated by Greenpoint’s working class cats. Note Mimi’s jaunty new collar. I give it four paws up!
