Busy Cloudy Days

 Our days here turned cloudy again.   The weekend's weather was cloudy Saturday, with off and on showers, but Sunday was hot!   I mowed the lawn despite the temp reachiing over 80 degrees.

But then we went back to very cloudy cool mornings.  Monday the sun came out late afternoon.  Tuesday, the same, cloudy morning, sun late.  I'm hoping the sun comes out a little today.

Was back to rather cold this morning.

Yesterday I took a big guy from the work trapper's hood, that many people feed and seem to love, to be fixed.  Leo also got tested for FIV/Felk (negative) because one feeder wants to let him in her house if negative once she returns from vacation, that is.

Leo is very sweet

She has caught no more cats at her place at work and thinks she got them all.

The kittens born in the trap, from one of the females she caught at work, are doing well.  They're eyes are opening.


The other five cats caught and fixed from her workplace, are now with her aunt, and will be barn cats there.

I was back at Fat Boy's neighborhood to pick up two cats from a neighbor of the feeder to be fixed.  One is a possibly pregnant Siamese.   The other is a fluffy black and white boy, who free roams and fights around.   Two down.  There are still two, maybe three needing caught to be fixed around there, all boys.

Cumulo, a girl

Bubba, the roaming boy

Then, since I had three spots, one for the work place, in case she caught another there, I figured she wouldn't catch another, gambled she wouldn't really, and picked up an owned male in ne Albany badly needing fixed.

Georgio is over being fixed this morning too, to make three.

My nonprofit also paid for two wild Sweet Home boys to be fixed Monday, but then one of them needed his badly mangled tail amputated.  What would simply have been two neuters turned expensive with the amputation.  Happy the nonprofit had the money to help him out.

Currently attempting to get appointments for a wild female, with kittens, and two more of the boys from Fat Boy's hood.   

All good here, except for gas and food prices are out of this world right now and probably our entire economy is in danger, although that's just a guess from someone in shell shock over prices and can't believe the wild spending going on in Washington, on everything from wars to a fancy ballroom for rich people, paid for by the little people.

  3. That was a fairly good cat report. All seem to be getting the help they need. Here's wishing for sunny days ahead for you.

    1. It's a bit of chaos often, on getting them filled, if one or two people don't catch theirs, but I rather enjoy the chaos of cat roundup.

  4. Your weather sounds like what we call May gray around here (or June gloom in about a month). It's what the weather has been the past couple days, but we're kind of used to it. That marine layer can hang around for a while.

    1. We are having strange May gray this year. It's really cold mornings, but by late afternoon it could be over 70. Or not. We have also experienced June Gloom, where it absolutely pours all of June then suddenly switches to high 90's.
