Thanks! Now wanting to trap "Mama Star". We've have been trying to trap her for over 2 years!Yeah!!!!!! You've just virtually guaranteed one more kitty having a much happier, healthier and lengthier life - - PLUS no more unwanted kittens to try to survive! GOOD FOR YOU!!! No.....make that GREAT FOR YOU!
lol, I was afraid of something like that - hang in there!!tend to think that all food we put out is theirs to eat.
Yes, we are working a plan to make our "cat and kittens" crate into a temporary "pen" for Raven's security time. It's 28" W x 42" D x 32" H! Planning on a sleeping loft about 16" off of the floor to create more floor space for playing. The food dishes will also be mounted to the side wall to keep the floor clear too! Only a small litter box will be placed in a corner. We are hoping not to alter the crate in any way. ...Those are our plans.Hi!
Can you create a larger temporary "pen" for her?
The temporary "pen" is is complete and is being used as we speak. I tied the "feral cat trap" to the small door of the temporary "pen" door. Then, I opened the drop door of the cat trap and locked it in the open position. Little Bit was able to check out her new digs at her own pace all day. Just before I went to the house to eat supper, Little Bit hoped up unto the fleece mat bed , started "making biscuits" and purring. If she appears ready, I'll remove the old (small) cat trap. I'll ask Cheri to send me some pictures to post here!
Let us know how things go

Fast forward to today. ..Raven (AKA Little Bit), has been exploring the inside of my Shop this past summer while I was working on the cat shed. Today I put a cat door in the bottom of the "man door", and Raven explored, would come up to me for some petting, and even set on my lap for some serious petting!! I really think she remembers her time getting to know her human who spent allot of time with her during her cagetime!.Our feral kitty was spayed yesterday.
Now because she had been in heat they suggested that we
keep her away from any intact males for at least two weeks.
Here's the question:
Since it has been 10 days to 2 weeks since we saw the toms following her,
Is it likely that she she still smells like she's in heat?
We don't want them to injure her.
For now she's still in the trap, in the heated pole barn, but I'm fairly
sure we can't keep her caged up in there for 2 more weeks.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Cheri (Doug's wife)
