I trapped four more adults at the colony this afternoon, plus the final litter of gray kitten--a muted calico.
I also was inexplicably unable to lift a trap. My left hip and leg went into some awful pain. Strangely, the usual pain in my right leg was absent. Did it shift on me? I had to call a friend to come carry the traps to the car, then follow me home to unload them. I'm going to need help with these cats.
I guess we have til at least the first now, to get the rest out. I counted about 11 more. I saw a calico left, two blacks, maybe four grays, and four of various shades of buff and orange.
I caught Felicity, the gorgeous long hair fire torti. I caught the muted torti. I caught the classic torti. I caught another orange male too.

Felicity, now caught but not fixed yet. | |

When I caught the little muted torti kitten, she was crying and scared. The calico, and other cats, came running to try to help her. |

Scared kitten in the trap. |

|
This young gray also ran to help the kitten, along with an orange boy and a black girl. |
|
A young orange mackerel tabby watches an older orange tabby enter the trap. |
|
The older orange tabby eventually was caught. The young mackerel tabby has not been caught. |
|
The calico, who has not been caught, checks out the orange tabby, who has. |
|
Then she slinks off.... |
|
But not without a last glance back. |
|
Meanwhile the young mackerel tabby is back, cleaning up spilled bait with the classic torti, who got herself caught. |
|
One of the unfixed blacks licks his or her lips after stealing tuna bites from a trap. |
|
Then poses for a photo! |
|
The muted torti adult shows up. |
|
Does not take her long to be caught! |
|
Gray in the distance. |
|
Gray through the window. |

Buff tux, not caught, gets a drink. |
