I'm sure they didn't feel really lucky in those traps, but I bet they felt pretty good about it before long! As it was, the woodsy area where they lived was partially plowed down, the person feeding them moved, and besides being crowed out, it was next to a huge high-traffic shopping center and just off a busy highway -- they probably wouldn't have lasted long there. I named them Dallas and Houston right after they got to Gloria's. I think she kept them at first because I was going out of town -- to Dallas. And then she let them stay.

Houston and Dallas both were wonderful. I'll never forget trapping them. Dallas got into the first trap - this fluffy little gray and white ball. Then I waited...and waited and waited. Houston would come closer and go away - come closer, then back to the edge of the woods. I was trapping with mackerel and his appetite- thank goodness - finally got the best of him! Got them both in one day. I was sure that Dallas was going to be the first to tame down and that Houston would stay a "wild man" -- but Houston tamed first and best - he was beautiful, so sleek and black. They were lucky enough to get to live with Gloria and I got to see them often. Dallas was right there across the bridge ready to meet Houston, as was my Leader. How wonderful to think of all three as free and healthy and happy! TenHouseCats <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: aw, gloria, i'm sorry.
