Things are going really well with the kittens, less hissing more playing and still using the litter box!<BR/><BR/>This morning Skinny managed to enter the trap box and eat all the food with out setting it off. Tomorrow a smaller bowl of food will be tried.<BR/><BR/>Every time I think I have a plan for how and when we'll be home, things shift. sigh. Anyway, "hi" to Gus and I'll see him late-summer-ish. <BR/><BR/>love to the family!owlhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630051682382673928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30542856.post-38748048961493740302007-05-22T12:27:00.000-07:002007-05-22T12:27:00.000-07:00P.S.

Success depends on their personality, their health (sicker cats may let you take care of them), and your technique. She doesn't sound like a "hard feral."

They'll tame down quickest if forced to interact w/you in an enclosed space. That and good food! It's easiest to trap mama if you let her get hungry for a day or so. Then put some stinky tuna (plus catnip or valerian) deep inside a live trap (covered w/cloth) or carrier. Sneakily shut the door behind her! Good for you for helping the babies!<BR/>Love, Sara<BR/>P.S. We came to your blog today because Gus was asking about you. He says, "I miss you. When will you come back to Seattle?

In retrospect, she may have started coming around because she was pregnant- but she is tiny, and didn't show, so it came as a shock to find her with kittens. <BR/><BR/>The babes are about 7 weeks. After just a few days in the house, they are adjusting, interacting with people, playing, not hissing. <BR/><BR/>Discussions are still underway on how best to trap the mama and when to bring the young to the vet.<BR/><BR/>suggestions are welcome!owlhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630051682382673928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30542856.post-48230162608613076332007-05-22T10:21:00.000-07:002007-05-22T10:21:00.000-07:00is skinny kitty a feral cat or one that used to be...is skinny kitty a feral cat or one that used to be domesticated and then went wild? feral kitties never get domesticated they are to used to living in the wild. how old are the kittens now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30542856.post-83511678174410773762007-05-21T20:29:00.000-07:002007-05-21T20:29:00.000-07:00=^_^= They're so cute, but I hope skinny isn't per...=^_^= They're so cute, but I hope skinny isn't permanently scarred when they give her kittens away...
