The Six Fixed Yesterday

I took the six back this morning.

First stop was for July, minus her kittens, at the Lebanon apartment complex.

Next stop, Sweet Home, and I let the other five out of the traps at their colony.  This is not an easy place.  The woman seemed high on drugs of some sort to me this morning.  She yelled and chased the cats after release.  One kitten became confused and ran into the garage.  I told her to leave him alone, he'd come out later, but she wouldn't and her house door was wide open and her chasing him around in the garage, he ended up in her house all panicked.   I was heartbroken for the cats the way she was this morning.  I had a terrible sick feeling in my stomach and wanted to vomit.

Karen in Portland had agreed to take on the pregnant black stray from there, that this woman's mom  also feeds. She's the adult daughter living there whom I've dealt with.  I'd never seen the black stray cat.  Anyhow, I didn't even know about this until halfway over there, but she brought her out and I took her.  I was feeling so sick for the cats there.  She'd blocked off under the house where they were living while they were gone, so they come back from a traumatic event, being trapped and fixed, and have no idea where to go to hide immediately and sleep, which is all they want to do.  I wanted to sob.  I had to get out of there.

Anyhow..I couldn't hold it in on the way home and sobbed.

 I unloaded the dirty traps at home and then took off to meet Karen half way to hand off the pregnant black cat.  The traffic was horrid, like everyone was out running around or going somewhere.

Once home I began some projects, like cutting down the overly tall plum tree.  I can't get to the plums.   But my saw is too dull.  I will have to sharpen the blade before I can finish.  It's just a foot long hand saw I've had forever.

I have this old bike taking space in the garage that's bent and useless.  I can't get it in the trash so I began the process of tearing it down to get it gone.  I got that done, which is a good feeling to get that old rusted bent up thing out.  I have quite a lot of stuff needs gone from here.

Anyhow, Amanita left today.  She's one of the four ringworm kittens who have occupied my bathroom. A friend took her and is ok with the fact she might still have some ringworm going on.  She'll  keep treatment going.  So down to three kittens in the bathroom.  That's a good thing.

Besides the seven already fixed there, and now the black stray, there are still two more needing fixed, a mom and kitten, but they're inside at least, so the mom can't get pregnant again. 

So it will end up 10 in all, once the last two are fixed.

Been a long week.  Time to take a break.
