I posted a couple weeks ago about a feral and her 3 kittens at my house. Well, I caught all three kittens and had them seen about. All healthy, but need socializing. We are working on that now. Monday night I was finally able to trap the mother. She was spayed Wednesday and brought home yesterday. I had my husband put her in our enclosure for our other cats, and she freaked. She found one weak spot and escaped. I haven't seen any sign of her since. I worry it was too soon with a spay, but one of the vet techs has told me even with the dissolvable sutures she should be fine to be out. I was really scared she might have ripped them out as the hole she escaped through is so small, she definitely had to squeeze her way out.
I have such little experience with feral cats, I didn't know if this was normal. I know she's been scared at the vet, in a carrier, and just being locked up. I thought to keep her in my enclosure for a couple days to heal, but she had a different idea.
My question is, does this sound like normal feral behavior? Will she return to her food source?
