HELP!!! (sorry, rather long.)

So, K&L, you are saying that she should go straight to trapping and not try to scoop up the two friendlier kittens first and then trap? You are afraid, as is Trinity that it will alert the other cats that something is going on?

I was hoping you would come along and give advice and there are a few things there that I hadn't thought about - like the kittens needing to be fed.

No, these are just guidelines and info for trapping. We always catch the cats when the opportunity is there. Except you never want to trap a mom cat that is nursing unless you get the kittens. If you get the kittens you can always try and trap mom through them by placing them in a carrier covered with a towel. Then you butt a trap up to the carrier and cover that with a towel (like a large tunnel). The idea here is mom will go through the tunnel trying to get to the kittens. Any questions please let me know. I'll help via here or email!

K&L, you are awesome! That is just the kind of stuff I needed to know. There is a low cost clinic this weekend and a free clinic on the 17th of December. I think I am going to aim for the 17th since that gives me more time to arrange things with Tim, the other neighbor who is also feeding them. I have pictures of them, will have to remember to post them. (they are on my home computer and I generally post at work )

Again, thank you for the advice and I'll let you know what happens!
