This morning, quite early, traps were checked and all were empty. The front yard black kitty has not taken any of the bait offered. But. we have yet another black kitty, she appears to be around the same age as Goblin and Streak except that she is pregnant- heavily so. I spotted her back by the creek this morning.

Goblin is getting more courageous. He will now sit on top of the woodpile as I approach with his food. He does not flee, but he is prone and ready to if I make a move toward him. For now, with not much rain in the forecast, I can feed him by the tunnel he’s made in the grass. But once the rain starts, he will have to find the courage to go inside one of the outbuildings to get fed. I am hopeful that when his courage reaches that point, I will be able to shut the doors of the enclosure and trap him that way. I suspect someone has unloaded these three (possibly more) black kitties on us as they are so hard to find homes for.

If anyone has a few dollars gathering dust lying around and would like to pop them into Paypal, we could sure use them for dry and canned cat food. We are almost out and money right now is on limited supply.

If you would rather send food, Fancy Feast canned and Purina Cat Chow or Purina Natural for the dry would be welcomed. Brook, (the black pregnant one by the creek) needs to be trapped immediately if not sooner. I have moved the traps to the back pastures and will set them up tonight.
