Hey Cat-Savvy Du'ers -- For the Love of a Cat named Nikita -- a continuation (Part 3) UPDATE

[Samantha]

37. The kittens were 7 weeks old Sunday (yesterday)

For the last couple of days, I have been trying to catch them and bring them in. Saturday, one of my neighbors returned from vacation. He discovered that Nikita had pooped in his yard and he is very upset. Another neighbor came from across the street. I explained that I was trying to catch the kittens so I could bring them inside. He said he could catch them. He started toward them talking very loudly. They became frightened and crawled under my '89 Nissan, and from there sought sanctuary inside the engine. They have never done this before. He asked for the key to the car, and I walked away. Later, I got Nikita to call the kids for food, and they emerged.

The reason I need to get them in is because she goes to be spayed Wednesday.

This has all been very stressful, but I am trying to keep my chin up and keep on trucking. If can just get through to Wednesday night, everything will be okay. I called the rescue organization that is helping me, and they are going to come out tomorrow night to catch the kids if I am unsuccessful today.

In the meantime, I am still putting out feelers for homes. We will get it all done.

And once they are inside, I will try to determine the gender of the kids.

Thanks for the information.
