What a day...

Last week a report came in from a lady saying she had 12 cats and kittens living in her garden.

Had asked the RSPCA for help six months ago and they didn't do anything. There were only 6 cats then.
Anyway, Angela (Pudding) agreed to go trap, neuter and release as it's not far from her house. I had several bit of equipment here so it was arranged I would meet her on site, give her my equipment then dissapear off to the fundraising meeting I had promised to attend. It was a big job, so lots of traps needed.

When I arrived, the lady told me Angela was already en route to the vet as she had already caught a few.

I unloaded the car and was about to leave for my meeting... but I was feeling lucky!

As I fancied my luck I set a trap up, just to see what would happen, and as soon as it was primed I looked around behind me and about 4/5 little faces where looking out from the busted greenhouse. I went to get a second and and PING... I looked around and a big tabby Tom was in the first one.

I transfered him over to a crush cage, covered him with a towel and reset the trap... PING, another one!

PING, PING... I caught 4 cats in 15 minutes!
![wow :wow:](https://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/Smileys/purrs smilies/wow!.gif)
I had run out of cages by now. Luckily Angela then arrived back. As soon as she drove up I told her she may as well turn the car round as she was going back to the vets.

All in all, between us Angela and I caught 11 within about 2 hours of trying.

This is a record for us.

We went home for a lunch break (and to give the vet a chance to eat.

) The 12th and final pud went into the trap at tea time and will be done today. The vet said his colleague can do that one today along with the 3 others be didn't manage yesterday. Eight cats neutered in one day was enough for him.

The four smallest ones came home with me are really good as the lady had been handling them regularly. They are clueless about trays and are pooping all over the place.

Other than that they are lovely... the tabby has been purring this morning.
