So, yes, there are a few other cats and kittens besides the two teeny, tiny ones. I spent all day on Operation Silsby today and much of that was spent "making friends". I took cans of wet food and opened them and left them around the yard to encourage any and all cats and kittens to come up and get their portrait taken. I have photographed most of the cats in this colony, I believe, and here are some of the characters...
My goal is to have pictures to help me keep track of who is who and also to promote these lovelies to their new prospective guardians. There are two adults who I believe are already ear-tipped (i.e., spayed or neutered) which is great news. There might be more kittens than I originally thought, though I think that I have a pretty good handle on the colony size. I'm guessing around 15 cats and kittens. I have about 13 documented, though in some cases, I'm still trying to figure out which black or orange cat/kitten I'm looking at :)
Fluffy, is the other cat who was in a trap and is still in the trap, to go to the APL tomorrow morning. I brought the teeny kittens over to Fluffy in the trap to see if Fluffy might be Mom. Fluffy looked at the kittens and me as if I had three heads and they did too. So, I'm thinking Fluffy might not be Mom. I get "boy vibes" from Fluffy, so we'll find out tomorrow if I have good "cat-dar" or not.
I will be away from Friday evening until late Sunday night, so friend-making and trapping will resume next week. Every time I get involved in a cat rescue I wonder, and say, "Why do I do this? Why??" And then I remember why...
