Spooky by name, spooky by nature

Lest we be accused of favoritism, here are some pictures of Spooky the barn cat. She arrived about 4 years ago in a blizzard. It took about 2 years before she would let me touch her, and she's still very skittish. As Little Man's father says, "a barn cat can't be too careful". However, now she'll allow a little ear scratching before she tucks in. She's a "talker", and sometimes in mid-winter, I'll hear her before I see her. Right now she's a glossy black against the white snow. In the summer the sun turns her fur to a deep reddish brown color.
