I give up. These cats are too smart for me.
No, I'm not really giving up. I can't. Moral imperative and all that, y'know.

But I have messed up in trying to set traps this morning. I waited too long to put them out & set them up. Shoulda done that last night, then just baited them and set the trip plates this morning -- earlier, like around four.

Now they want nothing to do with them.

I'm trying to catch a pregnant female -- please, god, before she gives birth! -- and three males. And of course, there's always the chance that I'll trap cats who have already been altered. :( At least I could get them in for their rabies shots.

I'll do better tomorrow, I think -- but I have to call the humane society to make sure their clinic is open tomorrow.

:banghead:

6. Oh, nothing exciting. I spelled pregnant as "rpegnant."
I was an English major, so it bothered me ... :D
