stray mother & single kitten

[smudgley]

Took a call this evening about a stray cat that has been around for a few months & has made a nest & had a kitten under a motorbike in a ladys garden. the ladys 3 terriers are not happy about this & have been barking at her. The lady was out this evening, so tomorrow I am off up there to check out the situation. She thinks there is just one kitten. Have asked her to keep the dogs away & I said cat may move the baby now, although she seemed to think she had stayed there for a few hours after the dog incident. She has given her a drink & some dog food :roll: she also said it is a sheltered area. Will update tomorow.

Fingers crossed you'll be able to catch her and her kitten tomorrow Smudgley...

Well she has been growling at the lady, :shock: so may be a case of trapping her, but it's only a few miles from me so will take a look first & set a trap if needbe.

[smudgley]

Got them. :-D

[Mags]

Got them. :-D
Brilliant!

Were there any other kittens around or just the one with mum?

[dandysmom]

Well done, Smudgley!

[angieh]

Well done Smudgley! How are they looking?

[smudgley]

One fat & very grumpy mommy. One nice healthy kitten around 5 days old. They are in my pen. Both tabby & white. Kitten is female.

Realy pleased you got her

[dandysmom]

I'd be grumpy too if I'd had to have a baby outside under a motor bike, be harrassed by dogs and then snatched up by a strange lady! Bless her, hope she settles soon!

:-D Good point.

I need a name for this mommy. Anyone? I haven't done her photo yet, but want to update my spreadsheet to send out & need her name on it before distributing. She's white with lots of tabby blobs. Names please!

I still like Matilda .......

[smudgley]

thankyou Dm.

She is now called Matilda.

[Moli]

Great to know you have them both....Matilda is a great name..

[dandysmom]

Matilda is in memory of a lovely cat I knew by that name, a very sweet natured calm grey and white moggy.
