I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.

Backyard Tree Problem
The maple tree out back is splitting. The crack extends down to about 16 inches from the ground now. There's this big hole at a point about seven feet up where the branches take off from the main trunk. The hole is in the middle and collects water like a bucket that has possibly rotted out the center of the tree.
I noticed the crack yesterday. It was raining and water was pouring out of it. It was strange to see. I think the water was coming from the bucket hole going clear down into the tree and leaking out the crack all the way down. I don't think that is a good sign.
Anyone out there know anything about trees? Should this maple come down now? Is it likely to split completely and fall?
Has anyone else been watching Discovery's Human Planet? I watched tonights' episode. I think it's interesting.
