homeless cats even make fun of me
Last night, past midnight, I went into my yard to try, for millionth time to trap a homeless cat, to get it neutered---only to see a baby skunk outside! And it was definitely a skunk, nonchalantly walking away, not some scaredy cat zooming off. I even walked a little closer, to see the skunk still standing nearby, instead of it, thankfully, not walking to the sidewalk, the main drag of my hometown.
So, I set the cat trap on the roof outside my kitchen, where 3 homeless cats walk up steps for me to feed them. After five in the morning I noticed the can of food in the trap was gone--and one of the cats was seated outside the trap. I then put some more food on a paper towel, in the trap, hoping to catch the cat---only to find, minutes later, that food was gone, and a second cat was outside the trap.
I put a 3rd helping of food in the trap, the 2nd cat went inside---but the other door of the trap sprung shut, which made the cat dart outside. So, I wound up feeding these two, and have two others to feed later.
I guess I can be glad I didn't accidently trap the skunk---how to free some poor skunk without it defensively smelling you up?!

Was the music on for this clown show too? Skunks and noisy neighbors! LMFAO!
Yes, cats are extremely clever !!! They can outwit a human any day!
TroJanThunder,
thankfully, the music ended, after I called the landlord....I\'m more used to nicely asking the cats to go away, after I feed them, with # 4 of the bunch just getting fed five minutes ago.
LivingWater,
I don\'t think of the 4 homeless cats around me as being very smart, as much as me being too dumb for them;)
Well at least the landlord defended you once!
