Yep - I agree.

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:

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:
