It's 3:30 a.m. here and I justed checked the trap. When I looked under the blanket I saw black and white and my heart raced!!! It took my brain a couple of seconds to register that it was NOT Eli , but only a neighborhood feral who wanted out very badly. I let him go and set the trap again.

I talked to my daughter tonight who just moved into a new second floor apartment. I got a little pissed at her. I told her to PLEASE, PLEASE do not open her windows more than her cat Callie's nose so this doesn't happen to her. Her comment was "Mom, I'm not as high up as you are and am going to open my windows so Callie can enjoy the fresh air." I yelled at her and told her to do whatever she damn pleased, but don't call me crying that her cat is missing when and if it happens to her. I tried to explain that I too, thought it could never happen to me. She is so stubborn and pig headed. Now she's mad at me, but I don't care. I was trying to get my point across.

I going back to bed and will post again tomorrow.


Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It really means alot to me.
