Zippy, Sadie and Speedy asked about trapping Momcat to make sure that there are no more unwanted kitties. That is indeed in the works. Last week I trapped Patches Man, the local feral tomcat. Here he is in the trap, very scared, poor guy.
He was neutered on Thursday and released again. I saw him last night and he looks fine. He just ran like crazy when he heard my voice, and who can blame him!The lady I volunteer for runs a local trap-neuter-return program. She is kindly allowing me to sterilize the cats through her program, so I don't have to pay for everything myself. That is really great, b'cause, frankly I cannot afford it. However it does mean I can only trap certain days, especially when I trap a female, 'cause the vet needs to say it is OK for me to bring a female for spaying the next day. At the moment I'm waiting to hear when I can take Madness, but Momcat is next on the list. I saw her when I fed Monday night, so it should just be a matter of time before all the stars align (meaning the vet, Momcat and the weather) before she will be trapped and spayed.
I also need to appologize for not being able to get to everycat's blogs lately. Things have been a little busy, but I'll try to take a peek at all the blogs today, but might not have time to comment everywhere.

Cecilia, Mom says you're the bomb.
I like that Millie! Good rhyming! And yes, Cecelia, what a great thing you're doing!
I agree that is a great thing you are doing. Even though it does not cost you any money, it sure takes a lot of time, energy, and dedication. You are wonderful!
That is wonderful that you feed a colony and do TNR!!! Tons of hard work and we admire you for it!!!

Like everyone else has said, it is wonderful work that you are doing. It still costs you time and effort!
Don't worry about visiting blogs - we all understand that life gets busy at times!
Oh what a good job you are doing helping all of the kitties! Spay/neuter & release is a great program and you are very dedicated to keep working so hard.

P. S. I have tried 5 times to comment, the word verification always is a red x. Hope this time.....
Hello Cecilia - I have been lurking around here since December or so, and I'm so glad to hear you've found Dobby's sister! (And wouldn't you know, first time I want to post something, the comments stop working.) ;)
I'm certain Midnight is "LB" - she looked around 1 month old in the pic from November, so she should be around 4 months old now. Feral moms start weaning their kittens around 3 months, which would fit right in with her starting to show up for food a month ago, and that she found the spot where you've been feeding her mother is a further confirmation of her identity - she probably found the place by following Mom there. :)
I think she is a bit too young to be spayed though - at least I prefer to time spaying at 6 months, and/or after the first heat, to make sure that the removal of the hormonal growth incentives too early doesn't interfere with the kitty's further development.
In any case, you are a wonderful person! So some people would think you're a CCL? Sign yourself CeCiLia, and be proud of it! ;)
