Tuesday night I saw a black cat in my front yard. Checked my crew and they were all there. So I proceeded to make a fool of myself by getting on all fours to look under the neighbor's truck. Yup, it's a new one! Totally black, scared to come out. Finally let me pet him/her, rolled around on the ground for a while, then left when the neighbor cat came out.
Time to pull out the cat trap.
Wednesday night I saw the same cat across the street. When I called, it came right up to me. Since I didn't know anything about it, I pushed it into a trap. I thought it was probably a female, about a year old and either in heat or had kittens in the past because of the obvious nipples. I named her Tootsie.
Took Tootsie to the vet for the "usual" (test, shots, spay/neuter) in the morning.
Tootsie is now Smokey, a neutered male about 2 years old, who has already been declawed!!!!!
He now resides in a cage in the cat room (so no one will beat him up) with the other 12 until I can find a home for this sweetheart.
Haven't seen any signs or flyers for a lost cat. How could his owners not be frantic?
