Well, it finally happened!
I help look after a bunch of cats living in an abandoned lot. There are about 7 or 8 regulars, two of which appear to have been TNRd already. We have caught 3 cats so far. Two of which were homed because they were actually quite social! One sadly passed away after his surgery (I posted about him in another thread).
There is 1 more semi social left to trap and a big tomcat that eludes us. So the colony has shrunk quite a bit.
Tonight we were out trapping and the old lady that feeds them in the morning came out to be angry with us. We are "scaring them" and they never come out anymore. I told her it's actually because we are finding homes for them! This seemed to upset her even MORE!!! She sarcastically said we are "socializing them". Like DUH!
Anyways, I am not great at justifying myself to angry people on the street. I am not a people person that way. I was not polite back to her.
She was angry that we are trapping the cats and finding homes for them. I...can't see the logic in that.
