Ok tommorow i'm setting up the trap, but who should I try to catch first, mother or one of the kittens?
My theory is if I catch the mom first, the kittens will quickly become dependent on humans, being that im their food source now, not any food caught by mom. Also possibly making them easier to trap. My only concern is that the male may come across them, and being that their mom wont be around to defend them, they may get hurt or killed.
Now if I caught a kitten first, the mom might not trust me again, making it harder to trap her and get her spayed. It also might make her agrresive and see me as a threat. I dont know if that would happen, since she has been really nice and trusting.
What do you think is best?
