Oooh, I would put in my $.02 and recommend the neutering. Not so much about your laundry room - I take tremendous moral strength from knowing that my napery while less white smells better - but to prevent more feral little kittycats starving somewhere out there.

We've been through some cats. Some roamers, some not. Roamers get eaten as we live in coyote country. Roger roams, sometimes for a month or more and comes back. Ears shredded, weight down to half and bleeding all over. Tough as he is I think he hunts coyotes.

$80 bucks for a nut lop? Sounds high to me. Cats and dogs run around $50 here and a horse is $40 but there's enough to eat on a horse. Female cats and dogs are a little higher but damn well worth it.

<<THese are the cats that give nice kitties a bad name.>>

You haven't met Peanut. He almost starved to death and thinks God lives in the kitchen. He's a pain.

If you could catch Shy, are you sure your vet would neuter him? Some vets won't work on feral cats, because of the fear of being bitten or clawed, especially by grown toms. A very few will. When we caught a feral mama, we could only find a couple of vets willing to spay her. And they definitely won't do it unless you pay for the shots, e.g., rabies, feluke, I don't know what-all. And then there is the boarding fee. It's more pricey than you realize.

But it would be such a mitzvah!

Good article in favor of trapping feral cats, altering them and releasing them.
