Is it normal for a feral cat to meow so much after being caught in a humane trap? I am taking her to be spayed tomorrow so I have to keep her over night but she won't stop meowing and its making me really anxious. I've read that ferals don't normally meow. I know this one is a feral because I have been caring for her since she had blue eyes (basically kitten). At the time her mom was also feral and would not let me near her. By the time mom left all the kittens had green eyes and were afraid of me. My yard is also full of junk that my parent aacauired over the years so hiding has always been a problem. I found her last August so it has been awhile and I am their only caregiver. She has only recently allowed me to approach her while she was eating and I've managed to pet her once.
Should I be worried that she's hurt herself? Everytime I go to check on her she will meow for at least 20 minutes after and its just so sad to hear. She's also hissing and lashing out. I still haven't caught the brother and I'm sure I won't because he is even more skittish than her and is now afraid of the trap. Does anyone have any advice on how to transport? This is my first time doing TNR. how can I get the brother in the other trap? I'm using canned makeral as suggested but I think he is too afraid. As a disclaimer: this is not a feral colony and I don't want it to become one. Just two cats that were abandoned by their mother so Im not sure behavior is the same or not. Please respond with any advice.
