Thanks for posting it here. Some of us might not have known otherwise. I don't converse on FB.
Sun, I'm sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you.
I have the trap converted and the cat moved into it now. I got clawed up pretty bad moving the cat, so no pictures yet. I'm getting in the shower to wash it off, then doctor it up, and get back to the outdoor projects I've been working on all week. I'm not sitting in the V.A. Hospital ER for the rest of the day over this. If it gets bad, I can go later. I've had a Tetanus Shot within the timeframe of not being out of date.
Oh gee VG! Sorry to hear that
Not turning out to be the greatest Friday ever!

Glad you got it done!
Is this cat people friendly?
And off I go. I have to leave early because there is a B-day party for a lady who is knocking on the door of 80.

This cat has only been protecting itself when I had to grab it. I moved it from the trap to the carryall when I first got it, and I moved it back today. I got a better grip the first time. The trap is set standing Up on the back side, you get the animal down to the bottom, and then reach down. There's not much room to go sideways, so the animal tries to come Up. It's pretty easy to get a grip. However, it was in a pretty large carryall, made for dogs, really.
I have a set of gloves that I made from 2 sets of welding gloves (yes, I can sew). I cut one set to extend the sleeves of the other a long time ago. Before our City Animal Shelter started killing, the workers let some get past them, so I made these gloves to prevent that from happening (or at least before I learned they were killing).
I approached the cat in the carryall very slowly, in stages, talking softly. It let me get about 2 inches away before it lurched. I kinda got it, but we struggled to the floor as I turned around to the trap. It almost got away twice. I finally got the nape of the neck (like momma does) and was able to get it inside, but my right-hand glove almost came off before that. I held it down with my left hand, and worked the glove back on with my mouth. Some of the cuts are high, so my gloves don't go high enough for this kind of thing, and some are above and around my elbow, from when the glove nearly came off. It's amazing how strong a creature this small is when it thinks it's fighting for its life.
It was an adventure of sorts, but not a bad Friday at all. I don't see it that way. I have the cat moved now so I can easily change the food and water, and be able to clean the litter. I made a pillow of a rather large towel folded in thirds, and then flipped in half. I used duct tape in a few spots to keep its shape. I covered that with a t-shirt and used duct on the bottom. It's a decent setup, but I realized I wouldn't be able to get the pillow in there, if I ever try to do this again, without having to take the cat out first. But everything else about it is pretty easy to use.
I'll take him/her to the Vet in this rig early on Monday, and get it back in a smaller carryall early enough in the day so it's still "out" or too drugged to fight so I can trim its claws before taking it for adoption... whenever that may be. After trimming, I'll put it back in the trap.
As far as "people friendly," I thought it would be, and I still do. It's been quite docile unless I had to grab it. The 2nd agency will make that determination, I guess. I'll ask them to let me know, and if it has to be released, at least it will be "fixed."
Ummm,
Dale....thank you so much. I do not do facebook. This just makes me cry.....I think we were all rooting for the little girl, and I know Sun's heart must be breaking. I will p.m. her.
Again I thank you.
And I thank you VG for going to so much trouble....just one step in the terrible stray problem in this country...but it is a giant step to me and every animal lover.
I am waiting for my car to be delivered....garage sent me home with a loaner. Seems when they replaced the wheel bearing they distrubed the sensor for my brakes, and now the ABS light is on. They do not know how to reset it or if the sensor has to be replaced...they have a call in to the person who can answer this. I am not concerned....they will do what is right by me.
Now going to talk to Sun.
Can't wait to see a picture VG!!
You are a very understanding person Glam.
Just a fly through cause it's time to some form of exercise. Considering I just had a big piece of b-day cake, I need to!

You're welcome Glam, I'm sure JJ would have told you guys. Didn't know they were on FB together.
I want some cake
Guess there's a new star in the heaven's ...

Well, car is not fixed yet but they brought it back...going to drive to 200 miles without ABS....not happy about that. Hope we do not have to stop quickly.8-o
See you all later....have a great evening.

Hi Beach,
It looks like the Irish Pub is calling me tonight... I deserve it after the week of workouts I've had at the gym--my body is in need of carbohydrates and what a better way to get carbs than beer. So, I guess I can say I'm drinking beer for medicinal purposes.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Have a great night all.
