Obama is neither white nor black, and, The Starvation Brothers

The Starvation Brothers--two brothers starved nearly to death, from, where else, the BS.


Obama's race is perfect for America. Half white. Half Black. Perfect! So what's all the talk about him being black? He's just as white as he is black. He's both. Cracks me up to hear people insist on calling him black. Do we call darkly tanned white people Mexicans? It's the same thing.

Here's another thing I've wondered, speaking of tanning. Do racists get tans, or would that make them hate themselves?

In other news, I returned to the old couples' place, while they were gone, to try to trap the mom and four kittens and they never showed up. Instead, I trapped a big angry gray tux feral male. I would guess mom's in heat.

Alley Cat Allies had contacted me. One worker has some friend in Corvallis who is an excellent photographer and they asked him to ask me to take him out to some colonies so he could get photos of eartipped cats. So, I figured, why not take him out to where there are about 100 cats, to make his job easy. And he an easy time of it, too, because a lot of the eartipped cats out there are tame.

But we went out in the dead car cow field and i glanced inside the old cars, and there was the feral tabby mom I'd trapped a month ago. I'd seen two kittens of hers in the dead van then. I saw three kittens with her this time. But they look almost smaller than the last time I saw them. They are literally skin and bones, starved nearly to death.

I set two traps and got two of the three. They're slightly small but I will take them, the angry gray tux feral male, and Wipeout, the gray kitten not yet neutered from the Vanman trailer park kitten colony to the Neuterscooter clinic and see if they can be done.

They were frightened at first in the trap. Then I kept piling in food for them, then water. They could not believe all the food, just for them. They gobbled and gobbled, with wide eyes. They were also dehydrated, living out in the field, with only their mother providing them hydration and nutrition and she can't do it in this heat, with the only cat food near being quite some distance away, and low nutrition dry, thrown out now and then, hard for a mother to get through the field and to it, before it's gone.

The Neuterscooter fixed 107 cats today in Tillamook. Only 40 are registered in Corvallis however.

Sizzle and Gracie are going to their new home tomorrow north of Corvallis. That leaves me with the three gray boys and one orange tabby, from the Kitten Yard colony. At one point, I had 13 kittens from there here. So I've now placed nine kittens and one adult from the Kitten Yard colony. Tomorrow night is the one week mark from when I started trapping the colony. And one week later 17 cats are fixed from there and 10 of the 17 are in homes. That is not bad.

I'm not as sympathetic to the disabled man in the van anymore. He tells me when he moved there from Sweet HOme, he brought with him four unfixed males, he then allowed to free roam. Two died soon thereafter, from drinking antifreeze and the other two, big toms, disappeared. From their description I believe they were toms I caught at the Husspuss colony, which is nearby.
