This week’s kitty progress: None of the kittens seek us out, but they are all easier to catch (in an enclosed space–all bets are off if they get outside). They all purr when I hold them. Rossie was the last hold out, and she started yesterday. Ruby. She’s generally the … Continue reading →
Last weekend, we had Pretty Boy Floyd here at the house and his sister in quarantine at the vet’s for biting the staff during her initial visit. We now have the entire litter captured. Thanks to Tammy for providing the real Pretty Boy Floyd’s sisters’ names. I decided to use … Continue reading →
Pretty Boy Floyd is the latest kitty in the feral kitty saga. I captured him the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 20th. I got him transferred to a carrier the next morning, and I took him in to get examined and initial shots. I already know he’s too young to … Continue reading →
Still on track. It’s been a good day, except I caught Pretty Boy Floyd, the little orange kitty who is too small to neuter, last night in a trap. I successfully transferred him to a travel crate this morning, got him to the vet for shots, and brought him back … Continue reading →
I’ve finally captured the remaining young litter in pictures (next to capture them in traps). Here they are: I call this one Baby Orange. If it turns out to be a boy, I’ll call him Pretty Boy Floyd: I call this one Tabby: And finally, I call this … Continue reading →

I bought a trap this week and borrowed a trap from the vet. We’ve captured three kitties and I estimate I have at least four to go. First, we have Little Orange (eating) and Peaches. Little Orange is a little girl, and Peaches is a boy. I managed to trap … Continue reading →
I didn’t get many words today, but I did make it a point to break 35,000 cumulative words. What did I do today? Trapped a cat and took him in to be neutered, took a trailer load of rocks out to the ranch and spread them — after cutting up … Continue reading →
It’s early, and I’ve met today’s cumulative goal, so I’m shutting down for the day. 34,564 words cumulatively completed. Only 15,436 to go to “win.” In other news, I picked up a cat trap today. When I stopped at the vet, she loaned me their trap on the odd chance … Continue reading →
In talking with one of my neighbors yesterday, I learned Big Orange is, indeed, the Mama Cat to the kittens I’ve been trying to decide if I can legitimately trap and get fixed. I thought Big Orange was the Daddy Cat, because orange kitties, according to my vet, are 75% … Continue reading →
