Getting to the time of year when people have enjoyed watching ferals play in their garden all summer and suddenly decide they need to be rescued before winter. Yesterday Claire and I were called out to what seemed to be mum and young babies,turns out there are 3 adult females,1 entire tom who had an attraction for the trap despite a double eviction and the 4 kittens at least 14/15 weeks old; we caught the kittens and their mum but have to go back for the others tomorrow,also a possibility that one of the others has tiny kittens hidden.
For the first time ever I heard Claire swear when the one kitten lunged at us,in truth in 20 years I have only come across one feistier one and that was an adult tom. I told Claire the kittens name was to be Sugar Plum Fairy as that is the strongest swear word I use and it means the same as the word she used.
Sugar Plum attacks non stop and 24 hours of negotiations and good food have done nothing to calm her temper;her 3 siblings are going to take some hard work too;not even sexed them yet though I suspect that we have 2 girls and 2 boys. If only people would ring in earlier.
