On Sunday I spent the day travelling to and from Tralee delivering two tabby sister cats to their new home. That's them in the video along with their sister who is still here waiting for a home.
They've gone to live in the countryside and have a shed to call their own. They're not fully tame, though one would eat from my hand, so I gave the new owner all my info on taming shy/fearful/feral cats and the food I use and hopefully she'll continue the work. It's always good if a shy/fearful/feral cat can be tamed to the point where they'll let you pet and lift them up. That way, putting a spot-on to treat them for fleas on a regular basis is a simple job. Also if they're unlucky enough to be injured or become ill, it's easy enough to get them into a carrier. It's true that feral cats can be trapped but they do eventually become trap smart and wont go anywhere near a trap and of course de-fleaing a feral is out of the question.
So that's two more gone, I have to admit I miss them and so does their sister who's alone in the chalet now and "talking" a lot more when she sees me. She's taming nicely so I'm hoping she'll become tame enough to home as a pet.
