I'm
sorry you were getting so depressed---you must be positively elated now, Hideyo!
The
meditation success you describe is very interesting, and
intriguing...
What a
little sweethheart. He is one lucky kitty to have found a home with you,
Hideyo.

Kerry – I tell you, I was going through a depression until last night (until
right before I caught him) – I just felt like I never was going to be able to
catch him – I usually stand up about 4 or 5 feet away behind the gate so that he
can’t seem so directly (but he can if he turns his head enough) – usually, right
when I felt like I was ready, he would sense something and would turn his
head around and saw me with a fish net, and he would freak out and go away –(he
is a very cautious boy) – a similar scenario lasted about two weeks – I even
practiced using a dog trap with a string so that I can close it manually when he
is in there eating (but not too far in the middle) – but I felt like that he was
going to be able to escape since a flap door is so tall and it would give him
enough time to run away – then he wouldn’t even come eat in a trap anymore,
either – which was critical, as he would eat showing his back to me because the
way I set a food in a trap – otherwise, he would eat facing me, because he is
very cautious – then I would never catch him if he is not showing me his back
either.. One of the boy kitty
started harassing him also, and he stopped hanging out in my yard like he has
been – On Saturday, I had left
a carrier with a towel in case he goes in there on his own – which it turned out
he did – I noticed that there is a cat (who chases George) who staring at the
inside of the carrier at night – and I am thinking – ahhhh may be George is in
there – so I approached to the carrier closely and a voice inside me said
quickly “close the door”. Instead, I peaked at the carrier to see if he
was really in there – at the moment, he freaked out by me and by the boy cat, he
dashed out –how stupid can I be? Why did I have to peak, and just not close it
–I would have had him then – Anyway, I was getting
so depressed, Kerry – I did not think it was going to happen! But it
did! I also had to tell you
about the miracle of the meditation (I know I have said this before but I have
to say it again) – I used to see George
only about once every couple of weeks until a couple of weeks ago – he might
have come eat every day, but I just did not see him much – then I noticed that
he did not eat, and started doing the meditation (to guiding him safely to my
house) several times a day (like an obsession) – from the very first day I
started it, it’s like a miracle, I started seeing him twice a day every
single day (until I caught him) – even if there is a food (I leave a food for
other kitties too) – he would just wait for me until I show up – or sometimes he
is too sick to eat, but he would still show in my yard until I see him

N. Oh Hideyo,
congratulations, you are truly Wonderwoman---that is just amazing -- I knew --we
all knew--you would succeed. Yep, I'll bet your poor nerves were in shreds
before you actually got him. And, he 's wolfing down food----that's fabulous
too. Great to hear about
Squeaky too---and she goes on your bed too! I don't think it will be long before
she stays right where she is when you wake up---maybe she'll open one eye for a
couple of seconds.... Big hugs to you and
George and Squeaky! Kerry -----Original
Message----- Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much
everyone for sending George and myself a positive energy and
prayer!! I finally CAUGHT George last night –
I tell you it was one of the most scary things I had to do (emotional wise).
I knew that I was not going to be given a second chance if I messed it up,
but I also did not want to regret by not trying since I did not know how long he
was going to come see me regularly like he has been for the past two weeks,
which has been a miracle to me as well. Anyway, I finally caught him in a
fish net, and it was not a pretty site – he got all tangled in a net and I had a
very difficult time to transfer him from the net to a dog trap – I had to tear
up all the net to get him out - but no matter how difficult it was, I was so
determined not to mess it up – I kept apologizing to George about scaring him
like this while I was doing it – poor baby, his mouth was bleeding from
the net – I felt so bad – but I somehow he knew that I was doing so to help him
(because he did not bite me (and he so could have), and let me scratch his head
during this trauma- He is in a crate right now, he ate
all the food I gave to him last night (chicken with broth) and even ate some dry
food, too – I was very glad, because some feral cats I rescue usually don’t eat
for at least 24 hour or so due to the stress – I am planning to take him in to a
vet soon, am not sure if I should have them anesthetize him for a brief time so
that they can draw a blood from him and check him out thoroughly (I hate
to do that to him), or try to hold him without anesthesia which also can be
stressful. He is not neutered yet, but I would like to wait until his
health recovers and I know what we are dealing with before I have him go though
the surgery. I also let Squeaky out from a crate
(she is the one who has been tested negative, positive, equivocal, and
indeterminate and all that stuff on FIV test since March) – she was in a crate
for so long, I couldn’t do it to her anymore – I promised her a good life
when I re-trapped her after my neighbor dumped, and I feel like I was not
keeping my promise to her though I only mean to keep her in a crate for a very
short amount of time, and I did not expect this test results back that way for
that long – anyway, she IS finally OUT of a crate – when I did, I cried so hard,
I did not know why, but the tears couldn’t stop falling – I guess I was glad
that she was finally out - she is very cute, she still goes back to a crate to
sleep as she feels safe there – but I am leaving the door open so that she can
go back and forth if she wants to – this morning I found her on the bed with me,
as soon as she saw me wake, she freaked out and jumped
down… Please pray that George’s health
will only get better going forward! Thank you again everyone for your
support! Hideyo Mayer, Brown, Rowe
