ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!!!!
Aug. 26th, 2019 12:52 pmWE CAUGHT THE THIRD KITTEN THIS MORNING!
*does a happy dance*
45 minutes of paitient waiting and coaxing and putting out a trail of food into the trap and encouraging her and chasing off mama cat who has been trying to chase off kitten, and finally, FINALLY, the kitten steps on the trigger and the trap clangs shut, and I can celebrate because now we have all the kittens.
Her first vet appointment is tomorrow at 2, and I got to get dad to help me close up some holes in the walls of the bathroom, and then I can have crates in there to provide safe places to hide, but I leave it open and the litter boxes stay OUT of the big crate, and I take the plants out of the bathtub and put them elsewhere, where the kittens cannot nibble them and possibly hurt themselves, and then the kittens can have the entire bathroom to explore and be kittens in together while I get the rest of the apartment kitten safed. And more of a barrier into the bedroom doorway so they can't get in there because it's very not cat safe at this point (and also would be hard to get them out of some places in there).
(So much cleaning to do. So. Much. Will have help, though, and hopefully it won't take more than a couple weeks.)
