Last summer, the neighborhood momma cat had a litter of kitten in my apartment complex. That's when I met my littler Merlynn who showed up at my door singing me a song to let her in and be her mom/servant. I gave in and she is the sweetest little thing in the world. My neighbor was always talking about catching the momma cat and having her fixed, so I assumed it had been done. It has been almost a year and I noticed that Mrs. Momma Cat is very round...I spoke to my neighbor and found out that she has not been able to catch this little rascal and therefore she has not been fixed. So this leads to the obvious conclusion that she is pregnant again. Poor momma.
So I borrowed a cat trap from a friend yesterday and set it out in front of my door to the side (where little miss kitty comes by to relax and eat - my neighbor feeds her and I started giving her a little food the night before last). This morning I saw her come up and go "around" the trap to the back to try and get the food. She couldn't get it and was smart enough not to go into the trap.
I have been reading hints online and will set it out again tonight at dusk with some tuna juice leading into the trap with a little bit of food inside at the back. There is a thin lining of newspaper in there for any poo/pee she will have to make. I just hope I can catch her before she has her babies.
Any advice or supportive thoughts would be GRREEAT!
Thanks!
