calling any one from missouri

It's funny it says to ID the spider, count the eyes. I don't think I'd want to get close enuf to count eyes.....but you can see the 'violin' on the back without magnification. I think it looks more like a guitar or a cello.

The invisible cat has been more and more visible, and vocal. She/he will allow me within 15 feet at feeding time as long as I am walking away and not toward.
We are getting to where we must consider spay/neuter. This would involve trapping and traumatizing it. Not something we look forward to.

We have a psycho calico female cat that has to be trapped in a have a heart trap any time we need to transport her from point a to point b. She is generally a sweet kitty. She just doesn't like to be handled and if you push the limit, she will attack. I've been bitten by her severely twice and so has DH. Once she got out of the house and disappeared for three weeks. We finally set up the game camera and caught her coming up to the house at night looking for food. We set the Hav a Hart trap with tuna and caught her the first night. Poor thing was skin and bones. She's fat and sassy now and no longer yearns for the outdoors, thank goodness.

IMHO, a little 'stress and trauma' is worth not having to deal with a feral cat and a bunch of feral kittens. I'd trap her and geterdun. Maybe trapping her, spaying her and getting her home would be a good way to get her to calm down once she was back home. You would have a better chance to work with her.

Such a pretty face on that one.

I'm going to call Pawprints on the Heartland and ask if they can spay/neuter a wild cat if I can trap it....

When I was a city dweller, the house behind my parent's home had two cats dumped off that turned feral. When they bought their house the whole neighborhood was over ran with feral cats. It got to the point that another neighbor had cats jumping on him when he raised the door on his garage and a fish pond in my parent's back yard became an all you can eat kitty buffet. Finally in desperation they got the local humane society involved and got live traps from them. Before it was over they caught 64 feral cats. Well, 63. one was a cat that belonged to another neighbor that didn't take them seriously when they were told loose cats were going to be trapped and sent to the shelter, so please keep kitty inside for a couple of weeks or they would be bailing it out of kitty jail.

It's amazing to think that two cats produced the majority of those kittens that then bred and well, you get the picture. A good number of the cats were sick. One managed to bite the neighbor who was also live trapping and it had to be destroyed and tested for rabies.

I love cats but those 63 that were caught were wild animals.

Does Orscheln's or Tractor Supply advertise a low cost spay/neuter clinic or do they just do the low cost vaccinations?
