One more kitten down, one to go. Tonight I got the second kitten of the litter I'm trapping. Had her in less than 15 minutes. I checked with the people who work in this building by phone in the afternoon, and the woman who feeds them told me she hadn't seen the kittens all afternoon. Good sign for...
Back out trapping tonight and after a real nail-biting time watching the little brown tabby nibble his/her way toward the trap (kittens have such little mouths it takes them so long to eat anything), and then watching him/her go halfway into the trap, then back out, the kitten went back in and...
Joyce and I went out trapping in the evening. We saw more of the adult cats this time, and set a separate dish of food down way off to one side for two of the most persistent, to keep them away from the kitten trap. The orange/white one poked his/her head out again, but the one we saw most of was...
Well, after doing so well, catching three kittens in 10 minutes a week and a half ago, this morning, at one of my colonies, two of us were out there to trap three kittens, and after an hour, came up with bupkiss. No resting on laurels here. We did clap eyes on two of them, here's a picture of one of...
OMG, Sophie got out of the cage *again* at around six this morning. I had been up at 5:30 to have a pee, and then just as I was dropping off to sleep again, I heard noises from the recovery room, so I got up to check. I have no clue how she did it since I secured every slight gap I could find. Which...
I put gooshyfood down for the kittens for dinner. This is what happened. The smallest one (or at least, she looks smallest because she's not as floofy as the others) immediately started hogging the bowl. Check out the paw flung over the dish to keep other cats away. Check out the claws, which are...
So. There was the escape artist momcat (Sophie) that we trapped on Sunday. She has three kittens who did not get trapped at the same time. This is the area they hang out in. Unseen on the right hand side is a locked, abandoned building. The concrete pad is surrounded by fence. The green space around...
This cat has escaped from this gap between the top, side and front of her cage TWICE in 24 hours. I am so glad she's staying at the vet's tonight after her spay. I was rounding her up (luckily still within the tiny recovery room) at 11 p.m. last night after (me) being out all evening, and at 6 a.m....
We caught the momcat last night, and saw all the kittens (and another adult cat, too), but the kittens didn't come near to where we could put the trap. (We have to put the kitten trap on the outside of the chain link fence and hope they will go under the fence and then into the trap. They do go...
Today held some unexpected cats. I went to the annual general meeting of Annex Cat Rescue and someone there had brought a kitten she's fostering who is less than two weeks old, and wasn't nursing from the mom she's also fostering (and the rest of the litter). The kitten needs to be fed every two...
Can you stay grumpy while looking at these photos? These are a couple of today's cats. I'll explain later.
Here are my yay things today: - I got the edits on my book a couple of days ago, apprehensively opened up the electronic copy of the manuscript last night to have a look, and was quite relieved. There are hardly any changes to make. And doing it actually makes me feel like an author! - The weather...
So I did a little more writing this afternoon and came up with this FSotD: Walton’s crisis of confidence was pants-crappingly total. Here's the little mystery patio on the penthouse level of my building. And part of the view from it (10 floors up). I thought it would be bigger. I took this...
So I lug the black cat to the vet to be neutered this a.m. Because he's a male, he got out the same day. I cut short my lunch so I could leave early (on a hectic day where I'm still doing two jobs because the person whose been off for eight weeks, and told me she'd be back today, decided to take...
Tonight we trapped the new cat, Lincoln, that showed up at the boxcar colony about two weeks ago! Our strategy was perfection. I last fed there yesterday so they'd all be good and hungry today. My fellow feeders weren't sure he was still around, because no one had seen him since I saw him Tuesday...
1. Stand down the boarding party, I found my Master and Commander DVD. It had fallen behind the entertainment unit. I looked there this morning, but I looked there tonight WITH A FLASHLIGHT and Ahoy the box! there it was. 2. This: Yes, a new tenant at the boxcar cat colony. Just when we need to be...
A major success this morning -- we finally trapped the elusive tortie Inkspot! We've been trying to get her since she was a kitten. And I almost bailed entirely on trapping today because I'm sick this weekend, with a bad cold, bit of a fever and aches and feeling like shit. But I thought well, I...
Here's how the Honey-cat story played out today: In the wee hours of the a.m., I heard lots of scraping/rustling sounds from her cage. On and on and on. I got up out of bed, checked to see if she had a litter box obsession going on, but she'd been trying to claw a towel I'd draped on top of the cage...
Today is very sunny and spring-like in T.O. I ran a couple of errands, then parked myself in a cafe to write. I wrote this sentence, then thought of another place in the novel I can use it that will make it the absolutely perfect callback and actually laughed out loud that I came up with it. A game...
In a way, you could say I've got kittens staying with me, but they all still efficiently packed inside their mom. This is Honey, who was just trapped tonight. Bad photo, wonderful cat. She looks like Caramel from last fall, but she's even lighter in color. The volunteer who trapped her and I both...
