You lookin' at me?

Socks was defiant and whilst tame enough to stroke, did not want to go into the trap.... we got him :+}

Hey cats, guess what... your home is becoming car park!

Got a job to support one of the other trappers last week when a garden where 5 cats live, behind some flats, was going to be bulldozed and turned into a car park in the next 7 days. Nice. Various offers of help to relocate the cats on Facebook, but as is usually the case, lot's of offers but no real boots on the ground. A couple of us met up with the 2 women who feed that cats to help trap and move them. Several of the cats were friendly and couple be stroked so they were hoping to keep them in, work with them, before releasing them again.

As usual we got one cat straight away, the others played hard ball. After 2 hours we still only had one cat, we came back that night and after several more hours still only got one more. The ginger 'bastard' as he was christened took two more trips to get. Anyway, all now safe from the wrecking ball and in good health.

Kitten update....

Mum stopped feeding the cats over the weekend and after a trip to the vets it turns out one of her teats was blocked and she is now on antibiotics. Also one of the kittens was only 1.5gms, where everyone else was 3gms. This little guy is now being hand-fed 3-4 times a day and has already put on some weight, so things are looking good. The kittens are all male aside from a female tortie....

Patience is a virtue

Right, local job to TNR 4 toms who come visit one of the local cat fosterer's, Joan, who is looking after the Mum and 7 kittens. She has around about 6 cats of her own which come and go around the house, but there are 4 'visitors' she wants looked after as well. Spent 2 hours there today and no sign of anyone! 3 of the 4 are usually around in the morning, one is more a night visitors. Got a bit tricky when her own cats were about in the garden as the others were likely to stay away. We got her own cats indoors, 1 by one, but no lucky.
