Five More Fixed

 Today I took five more cats to be fixed, bringing the total fixed since Friday to 16.

Today it was three from the Sweet Home colony---Easy, a gray mac tabby teen boy; Alder, a marbled tabby on white girl, and Forest, a brown mac tabby boy.  And two boys from Lacomb.  The Lacomb cats are the first from a new colony there.

I went and met the woman to get them at Cottonwood last night.  She brought them in two mammoth carriers, the likes of which could break backs, if a cat is inside.  Why do they make them so big, with a handle, like you can carry that awkward thing, even empty.

A local rescue had already taken in two boys from there, plus a mom with kittens, plus a pregnant Siamese.   So they had her carriers and left her those huge ones, to hold cats in, until they could arrive to get them.  They're taking all the kittens and pregnant moms.

These two boys, Peanut and Muppet, went back after they were neutered.  I'll be getting all the barn cats fixed that the rescue doesn't take.

I met her same place this evening, to hand them back over, freshly neutered and vaccinated.  I was a little late because of a wreck on highway 20, that slowed traffic to a crawl.

Muppet was neutered today

Peanut was also neutered

This morning after I left the cats at the clinic and came home to clean up a bit, I headed off to return the four cats fixed yesterday, starting with Pip and Hank from Lebanon.   

Then on to Sweet Home to return torbi's Thelma and Louise.  I saw he'd put gloppy rice into the broken open Nine LIves cat food bag, which was soaked, near his door and chided him for giving them rice again.  I showed him how disgusting the bag was, with old rain soaked dry cat food and that gloppy soggy rice and said "that will make them sick".  To his credit, he'd put real cat food out behind his place.  I added wet food, as a good will gesture to the cats, hoping that might make it easier next time I trap there.

I came home then and cleaned those traps out and did laundry and cleaned litter boxes and swept and sterilized in the garage, before heading up to pick up the five cats fixed today.   The only girl of the five turned out to be Alder, the one I thought for sure must be a boy.  Tomorrow I'll return them.

I wanted to get home, from delivering the Lacomb boys to their lady and be already done with the cleaning chores and some of the trapping clean up so I could just laze around and go to bed early with an empty mind.  I need an empty mind tonight because last night mine wouldn't shut off.  I was thinking about that poor boy Panther, although it all turned out ok for him, when he collapsed in the right lady's horse stall.  But that's way out in the middle of nowhere, where he ended up starved and injured.  How'd that happen?  Well I know it happened as the result of some asshat human.  Then there's the boy cat in Sweet Home, took refuge on a porch because some A hole up there shot his rear leg.  Thankfully a local rescue got him and took him to a vet at great expense and at a cost of over $1000 more, his leg will be amputated.    The constant barage of animal abuse and neglect around here takes its toll on me in nights like last night.  I should have just cried it out, then I could have slept sooner and better.

That's some pathetic person using a gun to shoot a little cat.  Somebody has great big issues and maybe a real small penis.

Anyhow, here are the three Sweet Home cats fixed today who also will go home tomorrow.

Easy, a little boy teen fixed today

Forest, brown mac tabby boy fixed today

Alder the girl

Well, that's it for tonight.  I already turned off the phone.  Now I'll turn off the computer and be done with electronics and "connection" for the night because connection isn't all its cracked up to be sometimes.
