Daily Photo: What I Did This Weekend
Well, I did a few other things this weekend, but I got some time outside and with other humans, a rarity for me of late. I helped my neighbor up the street try to trap the rest of her feral cats on Saturday and went to the HCMT clinic on Sunday.
When we’d trapped three weeks ago, which I didn’t share, come to think of it, we had only trapped five of eight cats she’d been feeding on her deck since last summer and fall. That was a great day for trapping cats, sunny and mild, but Saturday here was wildly windy and though it was sunny the wind had them all spooked and any movement sent them back into hiding.
We had planned to rebait the traps in the evening because that was when they came back the last time, and often winds will die down at dusk, but the temperatures had dropped, ending in rain and snow!
I’d volunteered for the clinic because I was to transport the cats we caught plus a few others from my area, but it turned out the other person had caught two cats, neither of which needed to go to the clinic. They had needed some help in post-op so I went anyway, almost two hours late for locking my keys in the car with the engine running. Things went fine after that, and I was asked to take photos of the clinic for a story about us on local TV. It’s always a wonderful time to be there and it’s been nearly a year, but I get to see people I only see virtually, all the time, in our groups. Plus I always get a chocolate doughnut. So until the next time, here are a few of those photos.
That was enough for a weekend plus some art and creative stuff, and Hamlet and Ophelia have been out more and are slowly adjusting to the house. I couldn’t be happier, but I couldn’t be busier. More to come!
