Trap a cat? Not easy!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

So Mom L is trying to trap this bootiful long hair dainty feisty calico gal at a colony we just started to manage. Her name is Baby and she is a kitty cat bully!! Yep! Sorry to say, there is often one in every colony no matter how big or small that colony is. And Baby is all fluffy furs and probably weighs in at about five pounds tops!! But she sure is the queen of this little six kitty colony.

Mom L set the trap and waited to see how Baby would react.

You can see that Baby gave that trap a very wide birth! She wasn’t so sure about why the heck it was placed near her treasured food bowl! You see Baby is not only a bully to a couple of the other cats, she is also a TOTAL FOODIE!! Mom L thought for sure she would dive right after that yummy sardine bait. HAH!!

Baby checked out that trap, all around and then did one of those “See ya, wouldn’t wanna be Ya!!” moves!!!

Mom L is gonna go back and hopes that she can trap Baby and find a foster to help assess her ability to be socialized. She is such a lovely cat, and she truly isn’t feral. Let’s hope Baby realizes that we are tryin’ to give her an opportunity for a forever indoor home!

Do you trap for TNR? Or also trap to try to bring some potential friendlies inside?  Let us know what your experiences are in comments.

Hope everyone’s Valentines Day was filled with the love our park colony boys showed us with their little “taileo message”!! You can show some love  to our colony cats by visiting our Amazon Wish List. We are very desperate for wet food and for a couple of shelters for our colony cats at a local waterfront park.

Friday Memes for Friday Smiles

Well I certainly know that I have never ever had a hard spot to deal with! How’s about you??

Now this I have some experience with. Don’t ya just have a hissy fit when your peeps change up your bedding??

Ahhhh—when you work in rescue for thirty plus years, having a companion on your back never ever feels like any weight at all, right?

Katie takes over

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

So I had to admit, that even though KK was “not being the most well mannered kitty” she does deserve a post just about her…’cuz she didn’t break that handmade glass platter Mom L picked up on a consulting gig in Krakow Poland!!

So Mom L went over to close those drapes so as to not let our strong sun come in, even in Winter, to fade out our artsy fartsy stuff. And what the heck did she get as a surprise??? Katie lounging one our buffet, with her body wrapped around an irreplaceable  piece Mom L brought back from one of her consulting gigs in Krakow, Poland!! 

And then Mom L saw an opportunity to capture KK in the setting sunlight, amongst the lovely golden hews of our oak buffet, the Krakow art glass and sweet KK’s lovely colors.

Hope you enjoy viewing my darling little sisfur KK. She is a delight to all—except me when she tries to sniff my butt or taileo!! Sheesh!! Give an older girl some privacy kiddo!!
