(59,610 posts)Grandson & I both feel a bit likd qpukes for forcing his destiny & manipulating with food. We feel we betrayed his trust.
I know, for his own good, but still.
We're reflecting on these feelings.
Feral is still out there. Only have 1 trap. Hoping rescue lady returns with 2nd trap today or tomorrow for this sweet little guy's feral brother.
Ty so much for all your support & inspiration!

(27,287 posts)But I also know their babies are warm, safe, well fed and very much adored by their human parents.
This one is just over 4 yrs old.
3 newborn kits showed up in my back yard just after I bought this house.
I was beyond shocked tbh. I'd never lived anywhere with homeless cats!
I know it's for his best future & if he will adapt to living indoors, he will be very much adored & very well fed.
Same though, if he will not stay in. I've always had a great relationship with him.
Hoping to trap his bro & get him snipped.

He may well not connect you with having set the trap.

Hes not the brightest little guy, but he's very sweet!

His feral bro is still loose. Need rescue folks to bring 2nd trap.
Hoping senior rescue queen will allow this sweet bog to live in our home. Hes such a sweet boy!

How do qpukes live with themselves?

(34,075 posts)When I lived in Ohio, trumpy guy across the street had an intact cat that terrorized the block. My cat was an inside cat so not a lot of problems for me. Had a wonderful lady that was his next-door neighbor that finally got tired of the whole thing and trapped the tom and took him to the vet.
The guy never knew about it. I started seeing old Tom sleeping a lot in his drive way and mentioned it to her. She told not to tell anyone what she had done and them we both had a good giggle.
Good work.

(59,610 posts)Good for her!
Yeah, these rednecks seem to take neutering personally: "I wouldn't never take his maaaanhood that way."
True to form, they would never provide homes, food, vet care, & love for their offspring!

He is such a little love. Even terrified when trapped, he allowed us to pet him through trap bars.
His brother is 100% feral. I would not even try with him but, of course, once trapped & vetted, I will continue to feed him generously.
Ps - trying to figure out how to post this little love's pix. 😓

(24,405 posts)Good luck with his brother.
Rescue lady said once neutered, he will be a little purr ball indoors.
She has done this for manh years, so I'm very hopeful.
Whether senior rescue queen of the world will allow another cat is my concern.

(24,405 posts)a new cat, right? Keep them separate but able to smell each other and maybe see each other without touching. Gradual introduction. Lots of attention to the queen so she doesn't feel neglected in the face of a newcomer.
