I am not sure why this should excite me so much but mom was excited.
Uncle Mark caught Mama Cat two days ago and she has been fixed. No more litters.
Mom did some studying up on how to catch cats since Mama Cat seemed to be able to out smart everyone on being caught. She found directions on how to make a drop cage. She sent that to Uncle Mark in email. So he got busy. He had some PVC piping he figured would work as well as wood, all he had to get was the joints. He also had the mesh like stuff.
What a great job Uncle Mark.
On one side there was this opening. Uncle Mark placed
the trap cage up to the opening, and he slipped plywood in
between the two traps.
He propped the trap up and had a rope tied
to it. Mama Cat and Slaps went in and was
eating. But then Slaps walked out and Mama Cat
was the only one left. Mark pulled the rope and BAM...
she was caught. Aunt Kim threw a dark blanket over
the drop trap, removed the plywood and when
Mama Cat saw the light, she ran into the critter trap.
Worked amazingly.
They had Mama in the trap. Took her inside to the
laundry room where she finally calmed down.
Next morn, Uncle Mark took her in to
have the issue of having babes taken
care of.
NO MORE LITTERS.
Mom said that when Mama Cat first showed
up she brought a litter of two or three with
her. Then she has had two since being there.
Wow, that kitty could produce.
My mom told Uncle Mark he needed to keep that drop
cage just in case anymore female cats
showed up that have not been fixed yet.

Bravo, well done! We're still trying to catch the Momcat of all those kitties around here, she sure is elusive!
