Five Cats

 Yesterday, late afternoon, was cat round up for the five spay neuter spots I have in Salem.

I spent the morning and early afternoon in cleaning mode.   It's a constant endeavor here.

Off to pick up cats.  The first location is nearly to Sweet Home but has a Lebanon address.

I'd not been up this rural road for years seems like.  It meets up with two other roads I traverse more often though so I was not unfamiliar with it.

I met the couple at the first gate and they led me up through a series of gravel road branches.   I knew this couple from when they lived in Foster, at an RV park.   But now, this was a much better place.  Views!  Ponds for kids to fish in.  Nobody to mess with you like when people are packed in tight together and super regulated by landlords.  They had a community man cave, with pool table, TV. Two of the cats were in there to be easily found when I came..

I only had three spots for them, then two others for the last two of three teens in Lebanon needing done.  But they had four adult cats.  3 of the 4 were adult offspring of the 4th.

They showed me the kittens of the one female.

By evening, Keithas Kitties had picked them up.

I took the mom, another female, and one of the two boys and headed back to Lebanon.   But they'd only caught one of the two teens, so after getting her loaded up, I drove back up to the first location and got their fourth adult.   I thought it was terrific all four could be done same day, and also that KKR could fit the kittens in.  They were anxious for them to go to a rescue or shelter, so they could be fixed and find good homes.  They're just over 7 weeks of age.

Anyway, all five are up being fixed right now.   

My car handles so well now, so stable on corners by comparison to what used to be.   I've not driven it enough miles yet to know if the oil consumption issue is better, from changing out the pcv valve.   But I sure am happy with the front drive train and suspension improvement.

It's raining off and on here today and I think will be off and on out ten days, with our temps not to reach 70 in the ten day forecast.

Here are photos of the five cats.

First the four from outside Lebanon.

Mama, the calico

Kermit the other girl

Ottis, a boy

Milo, the other boy

And here's the apartment complex teen.   At least the two girl teens will be fixed now.  The residents are getting FCCO appointments for the teens' mom and her latest litter to be fixed, so hopefully the boy teen can go along and be fixed at that time.

Jaimie, the torbi tux

 The tenants there try hard to keep the strays and left behiinds fixed and also to find the tame ones homes once fixed.   I admire them for doing that.
