Soooooooo, no time to post entries lately; all my free time has been consumed by rescue operations for Mommy Cat and her four soon-to-be-feral kittens (they are six weeks old now, and need to be socialized before they are eight or, at the most, ten weeks).\u00a0 Our vet referred us to a wonderful woman who is helping us to trap everyone, and then everyone needs to be socialized.\u00a0 And our wonderful vet loaned us a large cage to keep everyone in, and has offered to give free vet care to the kittens that we are not keeping.<\/p>\n
I’m learning a lot about cats, and about trapping, and there definitely is a science and psychology to everything.\u00a0 The wonderful woman who is masterminding the effort has a policy of “leave no one behind,” and that means we can’t freak out the mom (or she’ll move the remaining kittens to a new location) or give the kittens a fear of traps.\u00a0 Lots of time and patience is required for this effort.\u00a0 And great thanks to our vet and her friend.<\/p>\n
And, of course, Tuesday was the Ice Cream Social –\u00a0ninety-five degree heat with some humidity, and a life-saving breeze coming from the pond.\u00a0 All went off without a hitch, and now it’s full swing for summer reading and prizes prizes prizes.\u00a0 Whew.\u00a0 So do forgive me if you don’t hear from me for a bit – I’m busy trying to save the feline world while running a huge summer reading program.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
