Update on the strays

Thought I'd give you an update on the critters that I've been feeding. We see the orange one about everyday.....He's getting braver every time he comes, too. Last night I put his food on the porch, and he came right up and ate. It was late, and we were all getting ready for bed........I was almost asleep when my oldest came running in and said "Mom, Rufus has brought a kitten back with him".....So, I got up, got dressed and went to have a peek out the window. LMAO....It wasn't a kitten, if fact it was a baby opossum!! What!! Now I'm feeding an opossum too???? Bah hahaha...and here I thought it was the kitties that were eating all the food.

I still haven't seen Momma kitty or her kittens, but Rufus, the orange stray, is slowing trying to make a home here. And that's OK with me....In fact if I actually had my own money, I would take him in and get his shots and get him fixed.........Slowly, he's winning my heart over!!! But that opossum has to go!!

And while were talking about getting rid of unwanted critters.....I have an approach that used to work really good.....Take an empty trash can, and put it somewhere where the critters can jump in (right next to the porch).....Put a little bit of kitty food into the bottom, and let it sit over night. They will climb in the trash can to eat, and they can't climb back out. Now around here, I can call animal control, and they come pick them up for free and return them to the woods..........I have caught over 5 Opossums this way, Had a whole family living under the trailer once, and I lured them out one by one.... Looks like I may have to pull put the trash cans again, First, though, I have to wait for it to stop raining........

No minis today.....my new meds have me wanting to do nothing but lay around:(
