I take care of a stray/feral/dumped cat colony. In one year, I've TNRd around 15 cats, including two I trapped Friday.
Of the cats I've trapped, at most THREE (3) are female, all the others are male. Any idea why there are so many males in the colony? Which begs the question, where are the females? Not that I'm complaining; at least I don't have to feed her offspring.
I did trap one female; I suspected she was female because her belly was big one day and small the next. And, um, the ONE kitten that showed up three months later was another clue. The kitten is male.
Due to the massive amounts of evictions and foreclosures in my area, the population is not declining; four new cats have come around in the past month. Depressing.
Thanks.
