I had a phone call the other day where Lucas and Biscuit came from and there's another large tom cat took up residence in the guy's garden :tired: I've been up to my eyes in other things but I've had the woman who has the tortie and feral kitten in her garden mithering me today as well because the said tom cat has been attacking the mum cat in her garden and also her Persian Boy Smokie :sneaky: I can get the mum cat but the kitten who is now about 5 months old is proving to be a nightmare :tired: I'm a little worried about getting the mum without the kitten as they are always together so god know's how I'm going to work it. We've tried everything and it doesn't help when you have the well meaning people wanting to do it their way :sneaky: I'm going to try and trap the tom later and he can go in the vets in the morning but I need to find a solution to catching this :censored: kitten before mum gets caught again :tired:
-
good luck Dawn.... its never easy in situations like these!!! :hug:
-
It's been a :censored: nightmare with them :tired: The trouble with the toms that keep taking over the garden, they are scaring off the "resident ferals" but the only thing I can do with the one that's arrived now, is get him done and put him back :(
-
it does sometimes feel like an endless circle doesn't it?
One thing I do say to people if they are getting in the way is to go inside and let you get on with your job. Sometimes you have to be a little short to get the nosey pestering so and so's to let you get on and get the cat quicker and safer!! :hug:
let us know how you get on tho.

I've just got back from there now and there are 2 toms that are sniffing round and causing bedlam :sneaky: One of them is huge and is a semi longhaired black/white.........beautiful looking cat :Luv2: :Luv2: The other is also a black/white, he was prancing up and down the garden like a fairy and looked extremely playful, but Clare said he does this before he pounces on the female :tired: To me, he appeared to be trying to coax her into playing with him but sadly because of these 2 boys, the feral kitten is pretty scared and spends her whole time sneaking around :( I'm hoping to get both toms, get them in the vets in the morning and suss out if they are tame or not, if they are, they can be rehomed ;) It does make me wonder where they are all coming from, there is a farm across the way and my friend has had most of the cats done there but these two do not live there, and yet both have appeared the last few weeks both on the farm and at the two houses :shify:
-
sounds like they could be dumpers Dawn????? always a possibility. We get a lot of that in our area where folks think farms are ideal places to 'get rid' grrr
-
Funny enough, I was thinking along the same lines. If they are unneutered and have been making a nuisance of themselves, I reckon some :censored: neighbour has decided to get rid of them himself :censored:
-
Just had a phone call and the little tortie has gone in the trap :na na naa na: :na na naa na: :na na naa na: :na na naa na: I've been after this little madam for months so I'm going to take my carrier with me and get the mum cat if she's around :briggin: :briggin:
-
Oh , that is great news. I am so glad you managed to get the little monkey ;D, it means the poor mum can get a home now.
:)
-
I'm really chuffed I've got her, I was a little concerned with the 2 toms being around, they are both fairly large cats and this little one wouldn't stand a chance with them. I nearly managed to get mum but she bolted so I'll get her tomorrow. One of the tom's is quite cheeky and will come quite close so I think he has had an owner........I can't wait to get him, he looks so cuddly :Luv2: :Luv2:
The little madam gave Clare a going away pressie by biting her hard on her finger :Crazy: I think she is a typical naughty tortie which I'm sure the vets are going to be pleased about in the morning :evillaugh:
-
But surely if she is young, she can be rehomed. I really hope you get the mum and she is not pregnant again with Tom's around.
Ohhh we have to think of new names. :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

At the moment, she is frightened but she must be nearing 6 months so whether she can be tamed enough, I won't know for a few days. What I will try and do is get her somewhere with mum, they are inseparable and it will be nice for her. If mum is pregnant again, she won't be too far gone so as soon as I get her, she'll be in and done. Clare is going to try and get her first thing, if she does, she'll be in the vets as well ;)
-
She must be frightened , also not having her mum around. But atleast for the first time in her life she has a nice warm bed and hopefully her mum joins her tomorrow. :hug: :hug:
-
what a nightmare your having :hug: :hug:
-
The mum has been caught this morning so she'll be going in with her daughter to be spayed :Luv: :Luv:
-
That is great news, i hope she is ok. :Luv:
-
Well done you, those cats don't know what they're up against when you're on a mission to get them. :Luv2:
-

AWWWW God bless them :Luv: - so please they are safe now ;D
DD :hug: you are an amazing person xx
-

It's took me :censored: months to get them :evillaugh: Mum has always been a doddle to get, baby was a different matter but thankfully, it's over with now apart from getting the 2 toms ;)
-
well done Dawn, once they are getting regular meals they will wish they'd joined you ages ago
-
Where they came from, they were really well looked after :Luv: The problem with where they were is the Persian cat that resides there. He is getting old now and really didn't appreciate the mum cat sitting on his step, and warning him off :evillaugh: She had also started breaking into the cat flap, and every time the door was opened, she was trying to get in. This was why I so wanted to get her and her daughter, it breaks your heart when you hear of a little one trying to get into someone's house and sadly through circumstances, they can't go in :'( At least now, they will have a warm cosy bed and they'll be indoors and away from bully tom cats, and hopefully in the near future, they will find a loving home together :Luv:
-
These two little ladies are now back home, they are both fine and have been spayed, wormed and also vaccinated. Not sure how I'm going to get hold of the feral one for her 2nd jab as she was a little minx in the vets :scared:
-
you don't waste time do you!
-
I already had cats booked in for this week, didn't have anyone specific in mind and thought seeing as I'd got these in traps, it was better to get them straight in rather than let them settle and stress them again.
-
Dawn, can we see some picci's please :) But only when they are ready . Dont want them to be scared. :hug: :thanks:
-
I'll take some tomorrow Pav, I'm just catching up before I shower and bed, I've been out digging most of the day and I'm knackered, just finished for the night but still got cat dishes to top up :tired: We've got the guys coming in the morning about the front wall and we had a load of stuff to move. With hubby not being well, I've had to rope the kids into helping but wheelbarrowing soil up 20 odd steps has worn us out :tired: Both cats are still a bit growly but I'm sure they'll settle a bit by tomorrow :hug: :hug:
-
Ohh, i am sorry DD, please get a good night sleep.
You should tell these guys you have no one to help you and they have to get you some help.
Hope every thing goes well with their visit tomorrow. :hug: :hug:
-
I'll try :hug: :hug: When they came out yesterday with cameras to check the drainage system, it turns out the drain at the front of the house has collapsed, as well as the bulge in the wall, but they told us today it all had to be clear before they would start the work >:( >:( It's been a nightmare but hopefully by early next week, they will just be working on the roadside which shouldn't affect us too much.
-
I will have to split these two up before I go up, mum is getting very growly with the little one and I don't think it's a good idea leaving them in together. I was going to leave them in the hospital cage overnight but I'll get the youngster in another one and put them side by side and then cover them over. Hopefully once she calms down, she'll be back to being the good mum that she is :Luv2:
-
Dawn, just to see how mum and little girl are doing?
:hug: :hug:
-
Both are doing fine Pav but I've kept them separate for now as Mum is still very growly with her. I've put them in cages side by side and hopefully she'll be better with her in a few days and they can go back in together. I've still not managed to take any piccies but will try when I get in from work tomorrow :hug:
-
glad to hear that they are doing fine Dawn. Look forward to any piccies when you have time.
-
well done Dawn :hug:
-
At last piccies, they are a lot more settled today, the little one meowed at me when I came in from work to let me know her dish needed topping up ;)

Oooo I love that torti lady with the tan splodges on her nose - she is soooo prettty!! :Luv:
-
What beautiful cats. I agree BC - really distinctive markings!
-
I need names for these babes ;) I love the younger tortie's markings, she is stunning, I've not tried giving her a fuss yet but may see what she's like tomorrow :scared:
-
:Luv: :Luv: they are gorgeous Dawn well done :Luv: :Luv:
-
They're gorgeous :Luv:
-
They are beautiful :Luv2: :Luv2:
Mum looks like my Sweep
Possible name ? Nutmeg ;D
-
Names - how about Isis and Dia? Dia means Goddess and Isis is one of the most powerful Eygptian Goddesses.
-
they are both gorgeous Dawn... so glad you managedto get them. All fingers, toes and paws crossed here that the youngster comes round OK with time.
:hug:
