The topic: Cat in the trap

----------------------------------------------

Wednesday, April 9, 2003  There was a cat in the trap this morning.  I couldn’t really tell who it was.  It was dark out at four this morning.  I put a shirt on and went outside and glanced in and I thought I saw a small black cat.  I had hoped we got Little Bit.  I went back to bed and said something to Brian about it.  But at five, when I got up for the day, Little Bit was sleeping on top of one of the shelters.  It wasn’t Little Bit.  But what black cat was it?  I didn’t know.  I’d pick up the towel and look, but this cat was scared and angry.  I didn’t want to stress it out anymore than I had to.

When Brian left at eight this morning, I went back outside to take another peak. It was the tortie!  The tortie who I suspect is Little Bit’s mom.  She’s at the vet’s right now.  She’ll be spayed today, have her ears checked, hopefully have her right ear tipped and have Advantage applied.  She’ll come home tomorrow, we’ll keep her safe for a couple of days in the trap to make sure she’s okay, then we’ll release her at night.  When I first saw her last year, I thought maybe she was tame.  But she sure didn’t seem tame this morning.  Maybe she might turn out to be better after she’s not so scared.  I don’t know.  At least she won’t be dropping any more litters.

I think I’ve finally found something that works to help stop the spraying and to kill the cat urine smell that really works.  It’s from planeturine.com.  I’d gotten their kit a couple of years ago and couldn’t really do much with it because of the carpeting.  But that smell killer really does a great job and I’ve also noticed the “No-Pee” works well.  I ordered a gallon of each last week.  It’s not cheap, but I figure if it saves me doing laundry, it will be worth it.

Lucky is doing fine.  She’s awfully thin, though, but her appetite is almost back to normal.

I’m going to finish the taxes today.  Get the checks out tomorrow.

I just planted two pepper plants and two tomato plants.  I love fresh tomatoes.

Oh, the latest on my WW diet.  Monday, I had Brian take three pictures of me.  One straight on, one from the side and one of my back.  I thought it would be good to take them every four weeks, but he thinks we should do it every week.  They’ll be on memory cards for now because I don’t want to see pictures of me as I am.  Probably too depressing.  It’s possible that I’ll post them sometime in the future. 

I guess that’s it.  Going to do taxes now.



Hi,

APRIL showers bring May flowers.  Tax day, APRIL 15.  Daylight savings begins APRIL 6.

Just a subtle note to change your calender to APRIL.  :D :D :D

*sigh*  It’s always something.  One of these months I’ll remember it’s a different month.  Thanks.

:satisfied:

I love reading your journal.  We have one kitty, a 12 year old black and white neutered male ... wonderfully sweet cat.  However, he is a habitual sprayer.  He has no reason to spray ... he is an “only cat”.  I hope Planet Urine stuff works for us.
