This was really the first time I can remember going to check traps every hour or so and finding them unoccupied. I moved them around, still no takers. It's not good if the colony is getting trap-wise... Wait! I realized that I was baiting the traps with Fancy Feast - hmmm....perhaps my feline friends prefer the stinky Friskies that has been irresistible to so many others. I baited again with Friskies and went back one more time to check the two remaining traps - nada. Well, I left them overnight to see who we might have in the morning.
I don't have pictures of the two cats that I did manage to convince to join me in my Tuesday adventure. They are a BIG, black, fluffy cat who is NOT happy to be trapped. He was like a bucking bronco in the cage to the point that he was making it difficult for me to carry the trap with him in it. He is named Apollo. Our other guest for the night at Chez Garage (pronounced ga-ra-jhay) is a highly sought after calico that I am very excited to have as a client. She is small and I'm not sure if she's a kitten or not, it was hard to tell because she was always running away when I saw her :) Her name is Whirly. Calico cats are almost 100% female, so it is fantastic to catch her, hopefully before she ever has a litter. I know she doesn't believe me right now, however, her life just got WAY easier and better... I'll have pictures of both tomorrow.
