It turns out that Latimer and Latigo may be twins and not two thirds of a set of triplets. Fizbin may be a figment.
There was some confusion here as to who at my work-place saw how many kittens. Initially, Person A had seen two and thought Person B had seen three; she saw only one and thought Person C had seen three kittens. He had, but they had been the black and white ones - Beulah’s children, all rescued earlier; C didn’t know the kittens under discussion were new tabbies. With a feral colony all of whose cats are not fixed - indeed, new ones may be joining to add to the numbers in several ways - there may be kittens in the future, but probably not immediately.
As for the wound inflicted by Latigo after his capture, it seems not to be serious. It was a little tender the day after the bite, but even that faded by the day’s end. I appreciate the concern shown over it, and I was ready to have it seen to if the need arose. Fortunately, the injury was harmless.
With another week over and more captured cats on their way to decent lives, I feel that I’ve accomplished something during the last few days. May the weekend be as relaxing for all of you as I hope it will be for me.
Hanging up the pith helmet for awhile, eh? My goodness, those two feral kittens are adorable! Thank goodness you are too far away from me, otherwise I'd be tempted...
ReplyDeleteTrapping will resume next week. I still have my eye on at least two adult cats, possibly three. But if I caught them on the weekend, they would have to remain at my apartment, in the trap or at the least, a carrier, for several days before the veterinary hospital could take them. Monday evening, it begins again.
DeleteWe also hope you have a relaxing weekend yourself. Hope you are able to get those other three adult cats. Great seeing such cute kitties in the photo. They will be so happy when they get into their furever home. Thanks for the share and all the hard work you are doing.

Ditto on your having a relaxing weekend. Have the kittens, and Raleigh, now gone off to more "permanent" foster care or are they all still with you?
ReplyDeleteGood luck next week...but right now just enjoy some "down" time!
The kittens are off to a foster-home where they stand a much better chance of adoption, while Raleigh remains with me. Foster-homes are at a premium right now, and since the peachy-boy seems not to mind me, he will stay with me for a bit.
DeleteI hope you do get your relaxing weekend before the trapping starts again.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness your bite wound is not infected...I hope you are up to date on your tents shot. I hope that Fizbin remains a figment of imagination. I'd like to see you have a good weekend. With Raleigh. And the others. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're doing an amazing job of TNR. Keep up the great work. Hopefully you'll have a quiet weekend. I think you've earned it!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing week you have just had, John. You do deserve a rest. I am sure these two sweeties - just look at them! - will find forever homes.
ReplyDeleteYour accomplishments are stellar indeed. You’ve been so involved in trapping and caring for the cats, I think you should do something special for YOU. Yes you. It need not be something complicated or costly. But just something that you’d enjoy. As the old saying goes: if you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of anyone else. Indulge a bit now, there may be hard times ahead.
ReplyDeleteI'm certain you are feeling a good sense of accomplishment, one well deserved!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
