    Look What The Tortoise Brought Over

    We had our desert tortoise out in the cat pen and look what came to watch! It's a feral kitten that we will now attempt to trap and fix. I've been setting food out for him/her and it's starting to be a regular at our back door. Very skittish though and won't let us anywhere near it! This isn't a very clear picture since I had to take it from inside the window. Lot's of glare!

    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    The time to start worrying is when the stork starts dropping kittens from the skies like around here! Great picture of one curious tyke. Probably more that haven't appeared yet huh? And a mom too. *sigh* No rest for the weary

    HOW CUTE!! He came to watch the tortoise! He still looks young enough that you might be able to calm him fairly easily. I hope anyway. Are you going to try or are you just going to put him back in the yard? You know...TNRTY (trap, nueter, return to yard)!

    Gee, I never thought of luring cats into my yard with a TORTOISE at bait

    Good luck catching Jetson - he/she looks really cute with those big inquisitive ears!!

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    Jetson will be among our other 2 yard kitties - Yardley & Mr. January, unless we can tame enough to turn over to the no-kill shelter.
