Subject: Feral Cats, trapping, taming AND Milo (LeeLoo & Loki's brother) has gone to rest

Thanks for everyone's comforting thoughts.  It was helpful to have you all remind us, that Milo WAS loved and that he knew it.

 

My sister had planned to talk to the lady down the hill who leaves bowls of food out for her 30+ feral cats.  I think I briefly mentioned that our kittens came from one of her feral momma cats and that the she abandoned the kittens.  Well, perhaps Milo has left a wonderful legacy...

 

My sister has re-doubled her determination to do something about the neighbors feral fleet of cats.  She has talked to the lady about Milo's death from FeLV and that some of the other cats may have this horrible virus; that the food is attracting skunks and causing stink in the air on way too many occasions, not to mention dogs getting sprayed quite often; that kittens are being born all the time; cat and kitten skeletons have been found for several reasons, one of which is that the cats are attracting predators that do not normally hang out in the area; etc.

Previous the lady said she could do nothing about the problem, since she couldn't approach them.

My sister offered to trap them and bring them in to get fixed through a wonder program here called Project Purr (http://www.projectpurr.org/).  The Project advocates TNR (Trap /Neuter/ Return) The lady has finally seen the light and has agreed to pay the $25 fee to fix each cat that is trapped. Each cat will then be released back where they were found.  Project Purr supplies the traps for the project.

 

Something good has happened, pushed forward my Milo.

 

Steve
