HOLD EVERYTHING

[gayalondiel_bak]

Lucky, the cat we took in on Friday (that we thought was a neutered male), managed to escape. (We don't know how, she seems to be able to open doors. Like a velociraptor.)

Yesterday evening the neighbours found her again. Up a tree. With five kittens, we think about six weeks old.

So, neither neutered nor male, it seems.

All have been captured and the various neighbours involved are housing three kittens between them, which leaves Lucky plus two to come to me, at least temporarily. Now that we know she's a non-lactating young mother I am even more concerned to get her to a vet asap. The kittens all look terribly healthy. Apparently when the neighbours sent their son up the tree he found loads of sachets of food that she had been nicking from somewhere and ripping into to provide food for the little ones.

I have been out to buy kitten stuff and plan to spend the day building a barricade for the spare bedroom door...

Poor Lucky, trapped and unable to get to her kitties (albeit for the best of reasons).

And so smart!

I'm so proud of her, she's been just a wonderful mother. And now everyone's safe and housed.

And going to be spayed. It wouldn't have been great to have 25 inbred stray red tabbies at the end of the road this time next year.
