Ladies of the Night

Alligator!  (I took this photo!)

This morning, I had a spot booked at the clinic, and I set my trap on Hayward, hoping to get one of the two long haired, beautiful tabbies - they actually could be Maine Coons they are so beautiful and unique - I am sure they are from the same litter, probably the mommy cat I could not get last fall.  Instead, I got a little black beauty that I have not seen before, I don't think, sex unknown, and very unhappy too.  Rattling around in that tiny cage is not fun.

Black Kitty from Hayward

I spotted another cat that almost looked like a spotted tiger - I can't think of the name of the cat - it will come to me, but I saw it on Parsells, looked very thin, and I stopped to feed it.  It came over to me after I shook the food dish, and I noticed it was not eartipped, but also noticed he had just a little bulge 'back there', and I thought, he must have been neutered and they did a good job.  He was a beautiful cat thought, long, lanky, with the spots on his body, like a ........  still can't remember.

Laura trapped two kitties for me yesterday on Short.  One was Morgan, the other was a tabby.  Thanks Laura!  I couldn't do (clean up these streets) it without you!  Someone pointed out to me, neighbors should be applauding me, not trying to tear me down.  I am trying to help THEIR neighborhoods! 

There are a ton out there that need to be fixed.  I wrote down a few that I saw this morning:

1. The two fluffy ones on Hayward
2. One red, one white with red spots, and one grey tabby on Baldwin
3. Grey tux on Short Street (he had the wounded paw last week)
4. Red kitty with cut tail and a black faced calico with short legs and short tail
5. small brown tabby, black and white with cauliflower ear, and black with white with white stripe on nose on Central and Fifth

Some other noteworthy things, on 7th, it looks like there was some kind of machine was there yesterday to clear the grass off part of the lot.  My shelters were not touched, but I sure do wonder what is going on.  I pray this spot remains for me, I have no where else on this street.

I've been giving a cat named Tuffy, who is a big, old Tom Cat that I've been feeding for many many many years, mostly behind Paul's house on Second Street, a dose of doxy the past few mornings.  He has some serious ailments and I figured it wouldn't hurt, as long as I can do it on a regular daily basis.  He won't let me too near, so I place it on top of the wet food that hopefully he gobbles down after I leave.

On Hayward, my bowls were gone.  Now, I don't know if the wind blew them - I could not spot them blown anywhere - or if the creepy guy next door took them, but if its him, he needs to stop.  I am recording all this.  He was over yesterday, for sure, because he finally cut his foot long grass.

Finally, the girls were out in full swing this morning on Bay Street.  They know me, are respectful of me, they wave to me, and I wave back.  These ladies are not the prettiest girls in town, but I am sure that at one time, they were innocent little girls, with hopes and dreams of something better than what they do now.  While I used to abhor these women, I now feel empathy for them.  I wonder what happened to Tamara, the one I used to bring sandwiches to.   She was a mess.  I've not seen her in almost two years now - I pray she turned out well. 

That's it for today folks!  Have a great day!!!
