Yep - I agree.

It must be exhausting, mentally & physically  :hug:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Pinkbear I guess we are all a little crazy  :) Once you start to build up some before and after pictures and realise what a truly wonderful difference you are making to these little lives you stop noticing how worn out you are. You are doing a brilliant job, keep it up and rest over the weekend when vets dont operate  :hug:

Second everything that Gill and Puddypaws said  :Luv: :hug:
Cats don't come when they are called,
They take a message and get back to you later.

Girls, I don't know how you do it!

I just wanted to say to DiddyDawn, Teresa, and all you peeps who go out trapping regularly, I'd go crazy if I had your workload.  :Crazy: :scared:

I've only been sorting out this feral colony for four days and I'm knackered. And that's only doing it mornings and afternoons. If I had to sit there all night I'd go spare...  :tired:

I seem to get all the 'wrong' cats first and I keep missing the ones I know for sure are pregnant. There's a queen who keeps leaving her 5 day old babies all over the field and I worry she's not taking care of them well enough... but if I take them, I'd have to feed them every 2 hours and I'm exhausted as it is. And the wee baby I caught (6 weeks but very small) cries all the time and I can't sleep.  :doh:

Then there's running them to the vet. Picking them up after. Trying to get the traps to work properly 'cos most of them have a hair spring and go off in a breeze...

And I'm not moaning because I am dead lucky. I am going to get some help soon - people have offered to take over once in a while if I show them what to do... but you don't get that help.  :innocent:

How do you do it?  :shy:
