Update on El Gato

[ChickMagic]

Last week I told you guys we planned to trap
El Gato on Saturday. We did it and he freaked
so badly in the cage that he scraped up his nose
and eye. :(

When the doc put the cage in the car, he looked
up at me like, "How COULD you?" I'll never be
able to shake that.

However, he's been neutered, chipped, had his
shots, antibiotics, dewormed and he's in a
temporary cage at my folks' house. They've
had 26 ferals in their neighborhood spayed
and neutered.

Once El Gato (now McDonald) knows where he
lives, they'll release him. Hopefully mom can
last for two weeks. It would be horrible if
he tried to make it back here. I missed
seeing his pretty face this morning when I
usually fed him. :(

But, it's much better for him. I have to remember
that.

3. We feel good about it

He keeps knocking over his food and water so mom
isn't sure if/how much he's eating. He did meow
for the first time ever. She sits on the porch
and talks to him every day.

When he was put under anesthesia (he's only
5 months old) it took two shots and gas!
He's as hard to put under as I am! I usually
try to strangle the anesthesiologist. :)
He's quite strong.

The doc is going to go over today and clean
the cage for mom. She's done it about half way,
but she's afraid he'll escape. The doc can do
it and she's happy to do it.

I still miss him though. I assure you - others
will come around.
