Thanks for your bouquets, but I haven't been able to work with them for a couple years. I will ALWAYS do so when I can, though, as it's so necessary! So many people think it's okay to let their cat out all night, and it's heart breaking!

I'll bust myself and say that the first cat we trapped was Luke (the flame point Siamese). He was whining pitifully, and I went inside and said, "I'm not made to do this! He's killing me!" My family (what's left of it) has never let me forget that! But it IS hard to keep them in the trap until you can get the vet help they need.

The lilac point kitty was truly a lilac - almost like the light shade of the Greek Sheets ad on this site. She was an absolute beauty! Sadly, she was mean, and the people who tried to home her asked us to remove her at any cost. She had a calico daughter who was THE prettiest calico I've ever seen! I had her playing and almost ready to home when her mother came home, and she too became mean. Callie the calico is alive, but Lilac is gone. The average lifespan of a feral cat is only 3 years. One of these days, I'll post pictures of them - especially Luke. He was the flame point.

Question to aephialum: does Whiskey have some wild tendencies? I've heard it said that cats with a lot of whiskers in their ears usually do. Callie has those, too.
