Title: New Lodger
Post by: ronandcats on May 15, 2008, 14:53:50 PM
 Found a new lodger living behind our pen, she is a little black cat and has four little kittens, next door saw them one morning and thought it was one of my house cats, she has now moved the kittens about 9 houses down the road i had people phoning to say a little black cat was sliming over the fences with one kitten at a time, and she is now living in a big pile of car tyres, the gent who lives there lets me go in his garden to feed them i did trap Mum but thought it best to let her go again as she still had Milk and is still feeding,I think they are about five weeks old i am going to try and trap them all togeather in one big trap they are getting to know me Mum waits to be fed but the kittens wait till i walk away before coming out to eat and if i move they vanish back into the hide hole please wish me luck in catching them .

 The chap who's garden they were in phoned me late tonight to say he had caught one of the kittens in his keep net, i went down and he had it in a basket mum was running about looking at us, i thought it best to let the kitten go again as i thought she would move again and the other little kitten would never be found, after i let the kitten go Mum and kitten were about three feet from me washing. the kitten was really tame and never hist or tried to scratch me, the man said that Mum and one kitten were right in the trap eating about 30 mins before but i had never set it as i wanted them to get used to it first I new that mum and both kittens were still together as one of my helpers knocked on my door to tell me he had seen them two doors further done drinking out a drain, hopefully we will set the trap tomorrow and try to catch all three together so wish us luck. :help: :help:

Hi,

Here are some pics of the latest arrivals.  They're off to the vet tomorrow to be checked out but they seem to be fine.  Of course Mum will be spayed as soon as possible and then it'll be new homes for everyone.
