Title: If the tortie girl is out tonight, shall I nab her?
Post by: Mark on November 05, 2007, 15:55:51 PM
Some may remember me saying there has been a tortie hanging around for months. I assumed she has a home as she is a good weight but only just realised why the hedgies get through so much food (2 trays + 2 or 3 handfuls of dry a night) its because she has been eating it. I want to do the paper collar if I can get close enough. She  is slowly coming round and will let me pet at arms length if she is hungry. Anyway, if she is out tonight, should I bring her in?

Yes  ;D Id keep her in especially tonight being bonfire night....then it would be up to you which path of advertising her found to take, via the paper collar or poster's, boards etc  ;)

Ruth, you have posted my thoughts (before I read you post honest). She could be scanned and It would certainly be a good time to get a paper collar on. However, if it was felt that she may not be caught again for a time if she was  stray perhaps she could stay. I always think that if her owners love her enough they would advertise for her.

If I see her I will get her in and maybe shut her in the bathroom upstairs. I can get thevet next door to scan her (highly unlikely she is chipped )

Definately try and get her in.  If she won't come to you she may be tempted with "Da bird" or a piece of string get her to chase it into the house then shut the door once she is inside  ;)

How long has she been hanging about?

Maybe she has got owners but they just dont care  :(

I would say if she keeps coming back after Kylie the bruser has given her a slap she could well be stray.

Probably about 5 months now. She seems to be in good condition. I only used to see her in the day but she is around at night sometimes as well lately

Haven't seen her but I've been busy clearing my kitchen out ready for the workmen tomorrow. I will have a look but it's hard to catch her at night. The fireworks seem to have stopped (I hope) and its not cold so she will  be fine tonight.
