Man, oh man! If it's not the steers demanding attention, it's the chickens, if it's not the chickens, it's the cats including the ones outside!!!! I'm so glad there's no more animals than that here. If there was I don't know how I would be able to get anything accomplished.

That's called "bucket love" and is all a part of tending animals...never ends. Every single day of my life I go out that door and am followed by many creatures, some quietly dogging my steps, some yelling loudly for attention, but they all follow me everywhere I go until the food is doled out.
Later on, when I go out, they will follow me in HOPES of food being doled out.

Yup, as of a few a minutes ago one of the steers was bellowing for feed but we only give it as a treat seeing how the steers are grass raised and fed.
Every time I go out the door I met by chickens who follow looking for a treat and get under foot as I'm walking especially that Boo!!!!
First thing in the morning when I get up and attempt to enjoy my first cup of coffee I have a cat who wants me to hold him like he is a human baby, but this indoor cats have access to feed and water all day long.
Even when I go outside and come back in I'm met by the indoor cats.
Now don't get me wrong or misunderstand me I love the animals here. I just need a little time to myself every once in a while.

That's easy! Just go sit in the closet. Make sure you shut the bedroom door so cat paws don't creep under the closet door searching for you.

If it was only that easy!!! No matter what room inside the house I go into I have at least 2 cats following me.
When I go to the outside door to go out there's always a bunch of two-legged feathered friends waiting at the door for me and they follow as soon as I step out and more come running from no matter where they are at.
Whenever the lady I call "Grandma" is over she always gets a laugh sometimes a really good laugh at how the chickens follow me around- I stop they stop, I walk they walk.

I don't know where the inside four -pics monster brats are hiding this morning but as of right now I'm sitting at the kitchen table enjoying the peace and quiet while really enjoying another cup of coffee.

I put my cat outside, so I'm enjoying some peace and quiet myself They're great, but very demanding, I hear you! I had to laugh at @Beekissed's description, that is exactly how it goes here. Food, food! Food?

That's thing with the inside cats they're not allowed outside. Right now, those three mischief makers are scattered throughout the house, sleeping. I don't really want to bother or disturb them but I'm about to start the cleaning process which will wake them so they'll end up being a pain in the rump but the good thing is when I start the vacuum they'll go running for cover. Lol
