prolly not.
I'd typed up a post and was looking for an image to go with it, and decided not to bother.
Oh.
So it was a ".............." post. I see.
Didn't know if if was a reply or a ".............".
Indifference didn't become you, and it's not a normal post for you.

It may have been an avatar during a pre-vet thing. Or a garden pic. Or whatever. I don't remember either.
I don't remember seeing a picture of Bear. (the picture in my head associated with bear is rascally randy)
OK, time to get started. Enjoy y'all

Finally seeing it my way, huh Gracie?
Good morning everyone.
We are supposed to get up to 83 today, but rainy.
One item from my "vacation"...
We had a steady stream of feral cats taking refuge under the deck this past brutal Winter. All came and went, except one. He/she (LOL!) has been here since December. We've been calling "it" Oreo, which is gender-neutral. Anyway, I am in a bit if a dilemma... I want to do what is right, but I also do NOT want to be a
heel.
The cat SHOULD be trapped, neutered/spayed, blood-tested and brought back. However, if the blood tests are positive for FeLV or FIV, the cat will be put down.
I understand the implications of NOT having it tested (danger to other cats' health, including one of ours that roams the property). But I also do not want to be the cause of that cat's untimely death. Cats are quite able to live long lives even if they have FeLV or FIV... we've had those as pets in the past.
So... I am in a bit of a spot on this. I cannot decide what to do.
This is him/her. As is evident as well, the bi-annual deck staining is in order and has been arranged:

Good morning, Lost
Oreo is a cutie, Bear. Can you do the fix and release without the blood test?
OK, really gone now.

Oreo is a good name!
IDK why you bother with the deck stain, but to each their own. Don't stain the cat...
Looking up FIV...FeLV...
One moment please....please stand by....

I do not know if it is NYS law or what, but the TNR clinics I have called all do bloodwork as part of the procedure. So as far as I know, the answer is "no".
morning, sunshine and bear!
i'm back to normal - got the first morning talk in with the boy in 18 days!
You're the best.
what a cutie, bear! and you fed 'it' well 
awaiting atty's research - i don't think any of mine were tested before getting fixed

Oreo looks as healthy as the proverbial horse, however, IMO, I feel like the safety of the other cats in the neighborhood should be considered also. I don't think putting an animal down is in and of itself, cruel. The animal just goes to sleep and he doesn't know any differently. I am a big-time cat and animal lover so I don't say any of this without thought to the animal. There are other animals to consider in the scheme of things, though.
ETA: Oreo is a cutie pie too!
