There were 225 feral cats at the free Feral Cat Clinic on Sunday. A big difference from the last clinic of 145 cats. There were only 2-3 Vets working this time. The shortage of Vets actually caused them to leave 20 cats for the next day. I think that was a first.
It was chaos.
I got there at 8:00am, and my 2 Tomcats were counted as numbers 97 and 98.
I was so excited that I got them trapped!
The night before, I set 3 traps.
The whacky little red dude trapped himself 3 times! I kept having to let him out and re-set the traps! I even thought that maybe I should leave him in one of the traps, just to keep him out of the way! But I didn't because I was afraid he'd make so much racket that he'd scare the others away! So, instead, I kept playing this goofy game with him.
Simon and Ruben kept sniffing the open trap doors. I thought for sure that one of them would trigger the trap door, but they didn't. I finally got so much food in the 2 of them, that they were satisfied to leave the traps alone.
I left my post at the window, and after about 30 minutes, I went back to check thge status of the traps. Giddy Girl was trapped and having a fit, while Ruben sniffed the trap, looking at her sister like she must be some kind of idiot to get locked inside!
I let the Giddy Girl loose, and I hoped she wouldn't alert the 2 Tomcats I was after. The black Tomcat is Giddy Girl's special sweetheart. He's very wild, and I think he's responsible for keeping her so distant.
Ruben's seemingly favorite Tomcat, that cute fluffy brownish boy, came around hungry, but avoided the traps.
I had removed all other food except the food in the trap, so if anyone else was eating this night, they'd be caught for sure.
After about an hour or two, I decided to give up watching. That's when I saw the cute fluffy boy trapped! I was so excited! And Ruben was sniffing his trap. I kept telling her, "Oh My Goodness! Look who's gonna' be fixed!!!"

During a joint-shoot with Tifa Leigh, we went to the woods with all my pretty masks and things! We had a really fun, good day, with loads of shots to show for it!
The lighting was quite hard to work with, but when we got it right it was good. I wasn't able to edit too much, as my Hard Disc is on the brink and my PC has a fit if I try and run Photoshop, so had to stick with PSP.
The model, should you not recognise her, is the lovely Kayleigh-Louise Priestly.
