BMG:   Problem in Denton County

I put 4 cats out with a cat guy on his property.  2 turned friendly and he let them inside.  Then there was some bad weather out that way and his chicken coop was destroyed.  He wanted some additional cats so I left the equipment there.  I tried to make an appointment with him before I left for vacation but could not reach him.  He was traveling, I think, on family business.  NOW – I cannot reach him – phone is disconnected and email is also not working.  I went to the property on Saturday.  The electricity and water are working.  The property is not FOR SALE but does not look maintained.  I saw 3 of the 4 cats.  There was food in the shed and I spread some out but the cats did not seem hungry and did not “look bad”.  I think someone else may be feeding them…but….???  I found our equipment in the shed and removed it.  I left a note on the front door and am just waiting for a call.  I will return this week to leave a note attached to the bag of food that is in the shed.  If someone is feeding, they may not see the note on the front door.   If I get no response from the note on the food bag, I will go out there and re-trap those cats.  Stayed turned for the update next week.  

OMG:  Lucky – First Kill!

Lucky is a friendly cat that went to live in a backyard in Dallas.  He has his own playhouse and looks like a tiger on the front porch.  Check out his first kill!
