Developments:
1) rather out of the blue, someone is very interested in taking Paddy. They are about 100 miles North of here (so not very far) and run a stables on 60+ acres. At the moment it sounds as if they are beset by mice problems. I'm doing a home check next week and, if it looks right (and it sounds great), then it's all systems go. I'm sure Paddy has no interest in this but it's only a few miles from Nottingham which, in my humble opinion, is England's nicest city ;-)
2) this means that the catching of LC becomes more urgent - I don't want to adopt out Paddy only to find that LC is very poorly (and I think she's ok, but better to be safe than sorry). The trap arrived this morning. I've had to put the slowly slowly catchee monkey approach on hold and so it's set up with tasty roast chicken and triggered to go in LC's barn. Free-feeding is now on hold all over the farm! I don't think it'll happen today: LC had already had her food before the trap arrived.
Fortunately the vet practice is open all weekend. Not sure that the vets who deal with ferals will be in, but let's hope so.
More soon.....
