Guess Who is Back in a Trap?

If you guessed Titus, you'd be right.

The garage ghost cat, the escapee, the cat who is good with his paws. 

I can't recall now when exactly I went out to find an empty trap he was supposed to be in, one morning.   It was so hot, I remember, because I raced back from McMinnville, after taking cats to the clinic (he was supposed to be among them) and spent hours tearing apart the garage looking for him.

Anyhow, I put his girlfriends empty trap, with paper she'd peed on, out in front of the garage door last night.  She's the torti from the Bellinger colony fixed yesterday.  When I went into the garage later, I caught a glimpse of him, in the rafters and quickly closed up the garage. 

I put the trap I'd had set for him, constantly, against the cat door exit, hoping he'd dash for the exit through the trap but he didn't.

A little later I opened the kitchen door to the garage, and he was right there and about to run hide again, when I said "Titus, hey!"  He stopped and stared at me, for a moment, then came right to me.  He wanted picked up, held, petted.  Ok. 

Anyhow, I put him in a trap.  I would have let him spend the night with his girlfriend in the  bathroom recuperating from surgery before I took her back up to the Bellinger colony, but she would have hated that.

Tomorrow Titus will be fixed and finally go home.

    1. I think he's terribly homesick. Well, Saturday he gets to go home. But neuter first.

Too Much Water

 Too much rain.  Wind too.    Flooding this evening all over town and outside town.  All over Oregon actually.  Lots of roads closed.   Best...
