last night i finally caught Ma Mere.
she is pissed, spitting, and slapping the trap.
the bait used was lightly boiled chicken shredded and daubed with karo syrup.
i tried probing her belly through the cage and i think she is pregnant her nipples are distended but not enlarged.
she is a very pretty girl and if i remember correctly she showed up years ago as a young mommy that was following her brother i saw her only a couple of times and had attempted to trap then. i stopped when i found out she belonged to someone in the neighborhood. i did tell them that they could get a free or low cost spay. 'it is the daughters cat and should be "her" choice' and 'the kittens are so cute'
the brother would show up on my porch torn up from fights, sick with huge abscesses i would call the people to let them know he was at my house and needed to go to the vet he was in a bad way. i finally gave up and took him to the shelter where he was put down having FIV which if he had been keep inside and neutered would not have been a death sentence. i still cry when i think of the boy i called Sage.
since she is eating here now i believe that her 'people' have finally moved and left her behind. since she is bringing her babies to my house she had to have had them outside and with the stormy season coming any kittens would be doomed
i called everyone i could think of last night got the numbers of where to get the vouchers and have since been going crazy with 'all circuits are busy please try again latter.
i give thanks to God that Barb got back to me today to let me know she got an appointment for the spay.
