Did some baking to relax, then spent some time reading before bed. About the best way I know of to avoid the Sunday Scaries.

Because sometimes you just need a sweet old lady dog photo.

Picked up some new plants from the discount section Friday. This one was all buds, but looked healthy, so I gave it a try. What a delightful surprise!

A few facts: outdoor female cats can have 3 litters a year. In warm climates they are basically always pregnant or nursing - it leaves them with little resources for themselves.
Male cats fight less once fixed, and the population has remained stable.

It took a full year, but we spayed/neutered 10 cats, with only one left to get. I also fostered one of females with her three kittens when they got endangered and the three now have happy indoor lives. Mamma never got less spicy, so she is fixed and happily back outside.

For males, you hold them overnight to get body temp regulation and full alertness back, then release.
Females it’s often the same, but since it’s so invasive, we got a set up to safely keep them for 4-5 days and give them pain meds in their food. This worked well for our community cats.

For TNR the microchip, ear notch, and surgery is free. I also chose to pay for a round of vaccines and a dose of revolution+ for each cat. Healthier cats are happier cats.
The R part means that the cat must be released back to its home turf - ideally exactly where you trapped it and away from roads.

Once you get an appointment, you also need a humane trap - sometimes you can borrow them for a deposit, but I made a case for my HOA to purchase a trap.

Trap training is important, as most cats won’t just walk into the back if a narrow enclosed space to eat. Except this guy- Socks ran right in.

When my beloved indoor cat companion of 15 years passed last fall, I undertook a project to make the neighborhood cats healthier.

I knew nothing about TNR at the time and learned a lot, so I thought I’d share it here (with cat photos to keep it interesting).

A reminder that a review doesn’t have to be 5 stars to still be a super positive experience! I appreciate it so much when readers take the time to review.

Another before and after!
Working on the house with my hands really helps balance the time on the computer editing.

Just out here caulking a toilet to the floor before getting settled in to edit for a few hours. Been refreshing the half bath weekend by weekend.
