Default pregnant feral cat in Phoenix summer heat

This is getting even sillier. Why would anyone use food to lure a
nursing cat and her kittens into/near their dog-infested yard?

Fwiw, urban and suburban ferals don't survive by making stupid
decisions. They're pretty good about avoiding traffic, swimming
pools, gimmicky book stores, and most predators (except well-meaning
humans). I'd give the mother much better odds at surviving the 'mean
streets' than suddenly becoming tame. Sheesh!

because the lady has dogs and I doubt she wants her pitbulll to get the
taste of blood Ever think of that...once she begins to feed to trap the
kittens the cat will NOT leave ... then the only thing to do would be trap
it and try to tame it if that doesn't work putting the cat to sleep is the
best thing...better than being eaten alive or hit by a car ect.

I agree. Have her fixed and let her live out her time no matter how
long or short that may be. Just keep water out for them so they do
not get dehydrated and dry food if want. The important thing is to
get her fixed so she does not keep having off-spring and to get the
kittens fixed and into a shelter and / or homes.


Why would you have her put to sleep ever heard of trap neuter and
release?


some cats that are feral NEVER become tamed. Trap the kittens and have
the
mother put to sleep if she doesn't come aound and become socialised
within
a month she never will. I have done feral rescue for the last 4 years
and
have had many unwanted litters. any more ??'s e-mail me direct from my
