Taunting me

I’ve become fixated with the short haired black cat roaming the neighborhood. I see it all the time, except when I have the live trap baited! I think it knows, and I think it is laughing.

Not an entire waste of time

It is getting harder and harder to catch unfixed cats from my neighbor’s colony. I sat out for four hours one day and didn’t see a single un-notched right ear. I know there is a short haired black cat that roams the meadow, I’ve seen it on the trail cam, but it either doesn’t like tuna in oil, or knows when I am watching. It wasn’t a completely wasted day; I took my camera with me and did a fixed cat photo shoot. So now you get cat photos and memes. You’re welcome.

Izzy claiming a blanket in progress

Izzy has been subtly trying to claim Grandma’s blanket as a bed for some time. I pick it up to knit and she comes over for lap time. Usually I am able to move it off to one side so she can’t take up residence, but I failed this time. She was pleased. Until I needed to turn the work. Silly cat.

Trail cam picture of a black cat trying to catch something

I finally collected the trail cam pictures. Over a 20 day stretch, there were over 1,600 pictures, mostly of cats. With that many, I’m glad there were some funny ones of the cats trying to catch bugs (above) and a tender moment (below). If you will notice, the short-haired black cat has intact ears, which means she has not been fixed. Darn it.
