Outsmarted by Kittens
Know anyone who can outwit a feline?
My picture, they are bigger now.
They are four demons. Five pounds of speed and agility with the intelligence of a Jaguar. They live on my property but inhabit a nether world of brush and hidden fortresses that I cannot find. I have been trying to capture these kittens for four months. They might as well be ghosts, half seen yet hiding in plain sight.
The two chesterfields (black & white) are more visible then the two Siamese.
Those buff colored Siamese twins blend into the tan grass like a mirage on the horizon. Magicians. Sleight-of-hand artists.
The black and white kittens work together and look almost identical so it’s like throwing dice and hoping for a specific number to roll up.
How am I ever going to catch them? I only have one more month before they become sexual adults.
I have caught their mother, Catrina. She jumped into my arms like a ture domestic lady. She is fixed and in a good home. I have caught one black and white kitten, Chesterfield and he is fixed. I got one Siamese kitten, Miss Houdini and she is now without a uterus.
Now the hard part comes, the two that are left are genius tacticians out maneuvering my every ploy. If I were Hannibal, I’d be left…
