I've never even scruffed a cat--I'm afraid that I won't do it properly and perhaps hurt them! I have a lot to learn.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 1:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fishing nets to catch feral babies I've heard about using the fishing net, a friend of mine uses it on feral babies. After she gets the net over the kitten, she scruffs him through the net. She'll have a carrier placed nearby with the door open and facing the sky. Then all she has to do, is drop the baby in and shut the door. You have to be very quick for this maneuver!
