Yesterday, I watched his great concern as a short haired tuxedo kitty probably about five or six months old ran across the four-lane highway, ending up in my front yard. I knew if I went outside and startled him, he would just start back across the highway and that’s not something I would wish on any animal. I waited for about an hour and went outside and put out food and water in the front yard as well as a shelter, hoping that next time he comes across the highway he’ll see that he has a place that safe and he won’t go back across the highway and disappear over the railroad tracks.

I don’t know if my plan will work. Tonight I will set my trap and hopefully get him captured. I need to get Nathan back here to finish the introduction cage because that’s virtually. The only place I have to put another kitten. I suppose that once I get him tested and I’m pretty sure it’s a male, he can join the other two kittens as they seem to be around the same age. Plus, if he’s a Mail, that would be a quicker introduction and then if I have another female on my hands. I will say my heart was in my throat as I sat at the window and watched him dart across a busy highway and not get hit. Unfortunately, here in Oregon a lot of people intentionally will hit animals. They see on the road. I will never understand why that happens but I have seen cars intentionally pull over Elaine or two to hit an animal. And they never stop when they do. Right now, I am calling the newcomer Elusive  and I’m hoping he doesn’t stay that way very long .
