We have had a long haired tabby show up(no collar of course) and I think it's female and in heat. I just got a quick grab on it(she wsn't too keen on being held) so I can't be sure if it's female but the way it sounds it's in heat. It's also someone's pet since I was able to pet her and pick her up.
It was dark so I couldn't do much about it right then.
I have everyone but Runt neutered and Runt isn't because he's sick at the moment and he needs to shed all the mats he picked up over the winter. He won't let me near him to try and help him out(normally I'd just take the scissors to him) and I think he's trap smart.
I need to wait for everything to thaw and dry out before trying to trap anyone. It's mainly waiting for everyting to dry out.
And of course this cat isn't afraid of dogs so we have an even bigger issue, if Dylan(or Jazzy) gets hold of the cat he will kill it. Dexter is ok and since he's on a leash unless he's in Mitzi's backyartd(she said we can use it to let him run around while she's at work) but he pretty much either gets along with them or they tell him to get lost. Him and Half-tail(female) are friends. Him and Nuts seem to tolerate each other but Nuts is still hissy about it. I think idiot up the street got herself a new cat(ALWAYS female and NEVER spayed.) If I catch her I'm goingto take her to a humane society that adopts FeLV+ and FIV+ cats since I have no idea how long she has been here and with all mine being FeLV+ if she came into contact with them(and I do have cat food down on a daily basis so it wouldn't be unlikely if she was up here to try and get some cat food from my bowl) she might be positive and I don't want her put down because of that.
So either &*&&* up the street has a new cat or someone dumped a cat here. Either way I am so mad. We were doing so good with no new cats showing up and now this one, who I might or might not ever see again(and honestly I hope I never see it again. I'm hoping someone's pet got lost and goes home. I just want to say that it is never a lost cat, if there is a cat it's either dumped or ^&&% got a new cat, this would be her 3rd in less than 2 years.) AARRGGHHH!! What is wrong with people?!!!
