I've been preoccupied and distracted by an influx of cats over the last few weeks. It started when we noticed a heavily pregnant one which I fed because she seemed so hungry. She then had kittens just over 8 weeks ago, next door I think. She kept coming for food and ate anything I put out for her like a dog eats. I felt sorry for her. A couple of weeks ago she brought the kittens here, there were five of them but then the two intact males began to be attracted to her and it was clear that she needed to be scooped up and taken to the vets to be done. I managed to catch her yesterday and she had the op and was then re-homed to a farm on the other side of the village. All I need to do now is catch the kittens and get them done and re-homed, the same people at the farm will have them. In the meantime I have been able to get quite a lot of potting done and plants put out in the sales area. Thank goodness for the cooler days and some rain.
