ANOTHER UPDATE: We have mommy cat and the two kittens and Lion so far....now for the last kitten from last summer! Keep your paws crossed for us in this adventure!UPDATE: YEAH one kitten is in the trap! Now Lion has a baby close to him! Three more to go!
Hello dear friends...today is the day we need to catch the garden kitties! Oh so far we have not had the best of luck...I tried to set the traps and rigged a string (biggy the picture and you can see the jerry rig string thingy) to pull once they are inside eating. It will make the door slide down and catch them safely... Boy oh boy is Scrappy Cat smart...she did not come by last night for the evening feeding. She kept her kittens safely hidden...sure do hope they will be good and hungry today. Her boyfriend Lion was not quite as smart...he is a guy after all. He went in and I pulled the string and it worked like a charm...down came the door. He is safe inside the garage now waiting for company from his family. Saturday morning is the spay and neuter clinic. Please keep your paws crossed for us today...we want to give these kitties a good chance at a happy kidden free life.

ReplyDeleteNow all you garden cats, you get into those cages and get busy eating, it's the passport to a much better life for you all. Please don't keep Mom Karla waiting
ReplyDeleteThank you
Gerry & Oliver
...and all paws crossend in Germany !!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
Oh I mean crossed, wir druecken die Daumen und Pfoten !
ReplyDeleteLiebe Gruesse
I hope they cooperate. You are doing a great thing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to take care of your garden kittens. Cute picture!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so pretty, and so good to see Lion ready and waiting for his 'tutoring'...We will watch for more news about the rest of the garden kitties!
ReplyDeleteWe are purring that all goes well!
ReplyDeleteYeah! You caught Lion. You are doing one of the most difficult tasks there is dear friend. Cats seem to have a built-in radar about those traps. I've even had cats go in, eat and come back out without ever tripping the trap. I've had them walk around and around the trap trying to figure out how to get to the food without going inside -- for days. Best of luck to you on catching them all.

We are hoping those kittens and their mom will feel hungry and go inside.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Lion does NOT look like a happy camper! Too bad you can't tell him he WILL be much happier and have a much better life after his day at the "spa." Paws crossed that mom and the other two kittens come around!
ReplyDeleteWe wish you luck!
ReplyDeleteWhen Meowm and the Lady did TNR, the cages were such that when the kitties went to the back of hte cage to eat, they stepped on something that triggered the door to shut. Plus we didn't put food out for them for a day before we trapped...making them more likely to go in the traps.
We hope you get them all!!!
Miles and I have our paws crossed. It is so great that you are helping these adorabobble kitties.

Good work. We hope the last kitten will soon join his family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful boy Lion is. His hunger got the best of him. I hope you can capture all of his family so they can have a good and healthier life in the cozy garden. God bless you, Karla.
ReplyDeleteOh yay! We crossing our paws you get the last one too. This is so exciting. We feel like we're right there with you watching the traps and pulling the string - especially pulling the string.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tea, Miss Hunny Bunny :-)
We will see you again, soon.
