Week two, victims 3 and 4
We caught two kittens at the same time on Friday. Paul rigged the trap so that we could pull a string and release the door when we wanted to, instead of when the cat walked on the trip wire. We caught the black kitten and the white and black kitten, which turned out to be female and male respectively.





I think we need to start naming them, since referring to the black and white kitty only means 8 of the 9 I have seen running around. I propose we name them after the numbers in Japanese:

1 - Ichi
2 - Ni
3 - San
4 - Shi
5 - Go
6 - Roku
7 - Shichi
8 - Hachi
9 - Kyu
10 - Ju



These two would be named San and Shi, since they were the third and fourth cats caught. LOL.

You know, I had a second thought... maybe we should name them after Texas cities (Austin, Laredo, Paris, etc) or mystery book characters (Sherlock, Kinsey, Nancy) or presidents (Washington, Grover, JFK) or...

Are you going to keep the kitties? Or adopt them out? I think Pasadena has a great Humane Society adoption program, yes? By the way, I'd like to tell you (and all your friends) that I’ve written a scathingly-funny book, The World Is Your Litter Box, which will be out May 6th. The book is cleverly disguised as a cute cat book so humans will buy it, but is, in fact, a how-to manual FOR cats. Check it out on my website, www.theworldisyourlitterbox.com. My human may be doing a book signing at Vroman's in Pasadena.

No, we are not keeping any more cats. If we can tame and socialize the kittens, we will look for homes for them. The older cats however, are truly feral and would not make good house pets (they spray, are skidish, etc.) In fact, removing all of the feral cats from our area would only bring in more non-neutered animals, so by keeping a few around, we can maintain a smaller population of cats.
