Well, last night (i've been away for the long weekend so other people have fed my ferals) I got a call from the feeder. She says - hey, I don't know what is going on, but on Friday there were 4 cats, and on Monday I had 14 cats!! Wow!!
So, where did the 14 come from, and why last night? I stopped by and fed this am, / noon to make sure they had food for the evening as they
trickle in. I did see 3 cats, hanging in the shelters I put out.
I suspect now that they see these nice straw filled comfy and warm/dry shelters, sized just for them, that they will hang round closer to food -
before they go off to hunt or tuck up.
Last night it rained later in the night - so who knows where the kitties had gone?? But today it will be dry and cooler, so I am expecting cats to
BE there. I will be SO glad to see them if they come...
I have 6 to fix that I know of... 2 brown tabbies (with polydactyls!), 1 black, 1 striped grey, 1 fluffy kit, 1 fluffy mama, that's it. I had some other kittens, of which I've only seen 1, so that one needs fixing too, but I haven't seen her in a bit...
Maybe if we get a warmer/dryer spell, I'll do better with the trapping.
I am going to keep trying to get AS MANY as I can ... at one time, to
help with stopping breeding and stablizing these guys. So far 14 were fixed, and that SHOULD have helped alot with the breeding...
