Been insanely busy here with the feral cats: it has also been crazy cold which we cannot seem to adapt to. One of the six feral cats was injured - looks bad, as though a dog or coyote got a hold of her. This started about four days ago when I noticed she came in downstairs and was sleeping on Paris's bed. Which is not completely strange, but she stayed there for hours into the next morning. I tried to approach her, but she bolted. It was then I noticed her side had been injured pretty bad (the side she was sleeping on).
We decided the best thing to do would be to trap her and take her into Dr. Silva's to be treated, which was easier said than done . Could not get her to go in the trap and stayed up all four nights. Then, she just left and we haven't seen her. I don't think she will make it, these feral cats have such short little lives...and there are hundreds of them here at SADM. Paris, Totsie and Rubio were all upset. However one of the new batch, I call him Squirt has indicated that he is in the process of becoming domesticated by sleeping with Totsie & Rubio and jumping in our bed with Paris and waiting patiently for me to put out boiled or baked chicken or hamburger and organic milk (Daca Bob did the same thing...he had a stroke almost over a year ago). Rubio is the son of Daca Bob and I fed him from a bottle when his mother Susan vanished so we bonded pretty quickly, Totsie was so tiny - we have no idea where she came from, but came up to me and let me hold her, she was starving.
I have learned this about the ferals: they will be the first ones who make the move to transition to domestication, they will let you know. The others want to remain feral. My knee Doctor doesn't think we should be getting them spade and their shots, he suggested that it was not natural - but my argument is that if not done, they multiply overnight and then there are more cats and more cats and more cats who end up wild but they suffer, and can carry rabies.
