Our Cats after Release:    

1.     Celina:  Midnight, Brona, Stormy, Socks, and Athena went to two separate barns on this property.  All 5 have been spotted at different times.  I even saw a gray one when I was picking up equipment.  She took off through a window when I was coming into the stall to get the equipment.  I DID SEE – RESULTS! 

  

2.     Brazos Point:  Madge, Edwin, and Sylvia went to this garage.  The girls have turned friendly but Edwin is still “a streak through the night”.  BUT – all 3 are still around. 

3.     Wills Point:  Wisteria, Scar, Molly, Peachy, Blackie and Patches all went to this garage/workshop.  Only the big orange tabby has not been seen.  The others are all hanging around and two have even tried to get into the house.  WAY TO GO KIDS!  

    

Calls/Emails:  Mom Was Feeding Cats 

I have received several calls/emails this week from folks who have had their parent(s) go to assisted living and leave cats around their homes.  Hey, folks:  This did not just happen.  You need to have addressed this before it became an emergency.  We have not entered our “slow” season – getting colder with holidays approaching.  Folks are not thinking about cats/rats/etc.  I have NOTHING scheduled currently for next week.   GEEZ – and a “full house” in the cat rooms.  Also, usually none of mom's cats have been sterilized…so kittens too!  What a mess!   

BMG:   She Won’t Leave the Cage

I took Freckles out to a garage in Garland.  The home owner had a warm bed for her and a cat door in the garage door.  Well - Freckles (now Hallo --- delivered on Halloween) will not leave the garage.  OOPS!  Well she wanted another more feral cat and is keeping Hallo.  SO – Cowboy went out to be a friend for Hallo and use that cat door to keep rodents out of her flower beds.  Hope Cowboy will take care of business for her.      

OMG:  Jeffy-Jeffy and the Ladder

Jeffy-Jeffy is a GIANT brown tabby what came to Barn Cats several years ago from a terrible hoarding situation raided by Feral Friends.  We got him and his brother Crinkles.  Neighbor Nancy is currently over at my house a lot doing the BIG CLEAN before the Bash on November 24^th.  She is using the big ladder to clean light fixtures and the ceiling fans.  She is the QUEEN OF CLEAN!   So, Jeffy-Jeffy has taken over the ladder.   Take a look…
