What's Going On ...

The little black and little white kittens we tried to trap a couple of weeks ago have resurfaced...bigger, cute, climbing trees and not letting us get near them..their calico mom is taking care of them and they all look well-fed, so we aren't as concerned about them...however, we would still like to catch/fix/release them to keep the population down...I spoke to someone last night who said the local blacksmith, who has a shop near the traintracks and lots of strays around his business is also trapping/fixing/releasing...I was glad to hear that, cause I thought all those cats were breeding...a neighbor said the cats near us keep the mice population down, so we don't want to get rid of the cats, which I agree with completely..once they are removed, new ones will move in (and they will be in tact - a never-ending cycle)...I learned a lot last night at the art meeting and had a good time...I'm not a very social person and I know very few folks out here (remember me=hermit)...but it was worthwhile, I'm starting to meet locals and become part of the town...crusty, dusty little town...
