Bonnie's anniversary
Two years ago today I trapped this little wild girl. I was trying
to trap her and another cat that I discovered after finding my trash can broken into. It was the snowiest winter we've had in MD in a long time. I kept seeing little paw tracks and started putting out food. And an insulated box for sleeping. I was surprised when I started seeing a tiny solid black cat eating at the outside food station. I called her Baby Shadow because she looked just like Shadow. That Friday night that I trapped a big male, Megan talked me through putting him into a cage that I had on hand (I was fostering for the local SPCA at the time and had a show cage) and resetting the trap to get Bonnie. She was trapped only about an hour later. It was a busy Saturday morning getting both of them to the clinic for ops. The male was released; Bonnie was tiny so she stayed as a resident of my downstairs bathroom until I could figure out what to do with her. I couldn't find a feral rescue group that would take her, so a long socialization process ensued. Two years later, she is the sweetest cat that I can't pick up. The male was adopted that summer with another stray here by a good friend of mine who cherishes them and spoils them rotten. -- Cheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C.

I was thinking recently that it was a year ago Feb. that I got Biskit. That's hard to believe too Sherry |

oups.com): Aww. Lucky Bonnie. Can't believe it's been 2 years. I was thinking recently that it was a year ago Feb. that I got Biskit. That's hard to believe too Time flies! Biskit has come a long way in the past year. Oh, and OT but I found another litter of tiny bunnies in my yard again. I walk around the yard and poke at likely hiding spots before I cut the grass after finding those other 2. This litter was much younger, maybe only days old, and the cutest little things! In the years since I bought this house I've never seen so many tiny ones! -- Cheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C. Fields |
