One down, one to go..


Well, we've caught one.

We put the cage outside with food in it, the mum and kitten wandered in. I went into the garden and the mum ran away so we just closed the cage door. The poor thing understandably went a bit nuts at first and was clawing at the cage to get out. It's calmed down a lot now, it even fell asleep before!

We're going to have to figure out a way to make the cage ultra secure so there's no chance of it escaping.

We're also going to have to try and clean the tray too! We took everything out of it to put it outside and just put a plate of mashed up pilchards in it. When the kitten went nuts, the pilchards went all over the place and it remains that way now!

We did manage to remove the dirty plate and put its proper food bowl in with some fresh food and water. We've also put in a snuggly jumper for it to lie on if it chooses to.

Tomorrow, Joy is coming first thing with the trap so we can try and catch the other.

Eep, it's all happening!!

If anybody has any helpful advice, it would be most welcome!
