This morning, I stepped out to feed the feral family and the kitten happened to be on the entry way. When I stepped out, he/she/it was effectively trapped in a little corner. After much hissing, spitting, clawing and biting, I managed to catch the little
I do not want more cats around the barnyard that I can't touch and take in for rabies shots, spay/neutering or other care. And we really can't justify taking Elaine in to be fixed and keeping her on as part of the crew. She is mean to Emmeth and Midnight - in fact, she won't allow either of them into the barn where they can stay warm so - she has got to go before winter.

She likes attention and she's actually pretty affectionate. I'm sure that this pretty baby will grow up to be a gorgeous cat - looks like a medium length coat and a very pretty face coming on there.
