Hello You lover of Queens and Consorts,
My feral princess was found last November. She was only a few weeks old at the time. I didn't find out that she was born sometime in October until I took her to the vet to have her spayed and to get her little shots and pills. My baby was found with her brother over the fence in the woods by my house by my little girls and some other children, the mother wasn't around at the time. Now, the mother has been showing up here and there, and she seems to still live in the same spot where the kittens were found (not sure exactly where in the woods) in the woods. I would climb over the fence to see if I could search out her den, but it's too dense and wild to see anything. Last Friday early afternoon, I saw her trot passed my window, going back home I guess. I hurried out the door to follow her to see where she was going and I called to her a few times the way I call to my baby (a kiss kiss sound) upon hearing the sounds she'd pause and look back at me and then continue on her destination. I saw her crawl under the fence, and disappear. As I turned around to go back to the house I knew that see was watching me to see where I was going and I kinda figured that she'd turn up on my prorch soon enough. Today was the day that she decided to finally visit. She hesitantly creeped her way up my sidewalk to sit on my proch. Twagee (talking to her mother threw the window) and I stared at her for awhile, before I decide to open up the door to feed her. After she finished eating the bit of food that I gave her she walked beneath my granddaddy foilage to rest a bit all the while keeping me within site.
I was scared. She was jumpy and scared. I want to catch her so that I can have her spayed, because there is no telling how many litter's she's had since my Twagee was born, but I'm too scared to get near the poor Wild Queen. Is there any easier way to catch a feral with out having to trap them?
