Gonna gets me sum cats!

The local feral cat has learned that my house is a good place to rid herself of her kittens.

2 weeks ago I was walking the property with eldest spawn talking about future landscaping projects. He mentioned that he had seen a cat in the weeds the day before. Then he said "And there it is!" Black and white kitten in the brush watching us. Told him I needed to get Pop-Pop's trap.

Mentioned to Grandma over the weekend that we had strays again and I was probably going to just go ahead and buy my own trap as this is the time of year when Pop-Pop is using his trap to protect his garden from the critters.

Last night, momma cat sent baby cat up on our front porch looking for food since she knows we put food out there in the past for the strays (in traps, but that's beside the point).

Stopping at Southern States on the way home today to buy a trap. Look here for reports of cat captures in the near future.

Why dont you just leave them be? If you dont feed them I am sure they will move on.

I catch the, get them fixed and then get them fur ebber homes. Isn't that better than having them outside, killing the squirrels and chipmunks or having them feed the hawks and owls?

I cleared my yard of them too a few years back. Got tired of finding the leftover bird parts.

They're an invasive species competing with native animals for food.

Ill be trapping this weekend to thin down a neighborhood mob of kitties
Time to get some clipping and snipping and ear tipping done!!!

I use a nice big coyote trap and a long piece of paracord. That way I can trap a whole family at the same time. Works great!

I can bring you any I catch if you'd like them.

No thanks. Since my dogs died a few years ago, I'm not ready for anymore pets yet. Just don't have the time for them.

Mommy kitty has been captured. Unless somebody wants her, and can get her this morning, she's going to the pound. Not bringing an adult with God only knows what diseases into my house where we have 2 cats. Doubt she can be tamed as she has been running wild for at least 3 years.

Baby kitty was out at the edge of the road in front of the house when I left this morning. Hope to catch kitten this weekend. Kitten, if caught will be offered up for adoption.

Add to that... in this heat, she can't stay out in the cage either, so for her own safety, she has to go somewhere today.

Message sent to the feral cat rescue people to see if they can deal with her.

Now that I've got a good look at it, I don't think the cat's that old. I think it's 9 months at most. If it's a full grown cat, it's tiny. It's definately not the cat I've seen hanging about the last couple of years, although I have seen him over the last few months.

I gave him/her some water. He's skittish, but not hissing or anything.

The small all black (maybe a patch of white, I don't recall) long hair that we've been seeing for years is not it?
