We are well into kitten season, and i so need to get a new trap maybe more than one.
On tuesday i was trying to fix my trap. mine is old and does not always work--- so i am working on it and see my Rue (red tom) wandering around since i have been trying to catch him for over a year i set the trap baited with Ahi. Did i catch him ..... no! he walzed past and ignored the steak. being stupid i did not take down the trap and went to play with Robber 15 minutes into Da bird play i heard the cage snap.
Inside the cage was not Rue but instead one of the feral females i wanted to catch for a spay day that was already gone. I had baited the trap 3 times and she had danced in and out not tripping the trap. Lil miz Belly no longer had her belly and her nipples were distended so she has babies out there somewhere. i have a choice release her and never catch her again or try to get her in for an emergency spay and hopefully find her litter. Thank you, God. that Martin was able to help and there was a vet currently doing spays at the shelter. with warning that the vet was on a short clock and might not be able to get her in. when i got her back i waited then offered her kitten milk and tinned food. she was freed this morning after i gave her breakfat in the trap and she took off like a shot straight for the neighbors yard and hopefully her babies.
also this morning i scared a tiny seal point siamese kitten hiding by my garbage can. it is about 4 weeks old and looked to be fluffy. So i bleached out the trap and it is waiting not set. i want them to be comfortable eating in it to make it easier to trap them. i do not want them to be raised feral, i also want to catch Mini Fig who is about 9 mos now and Miz Bellys sibling.
So Let the Games Begin
