Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2007Shadow's at TED
I finally took Shadow, the semi-feral I've been feeding, to the vet to be neutered. I tried catching him a few weeks ago, he went berserk and bit me. I left him alone for a while to calm down then he got in a fight with another cat and got a nasty cut on his head. Obviously he couldn't be operated on until he was healthy. I borrowed a trap from the vet last week and have been feeding him in it so he'd get used to it. Today I set it and caught him, poor thing looked so bewildered I felt sorry for him. It feels like I've betrayed him but I know he'll be much better off neutered, maybe he'll even become a house cat. I shall be on tenterhooks until I bring him home tomorrow, I hope he forgives me.

It sometimes takes a while, but cats are usually pretty forgiving of people who want the best for them. I understand your feeling, but you know you were thinking of his own welfare.

He'll thank you in the end, especially if you give him kitty treats.

Almost certainly. Do something annoying to get back at you? You can bank on it. Still, he's better off. When I think of all the trouble my own. Oh well.

It's the right thing to do, it's just the hardening of the heart to do it, that's the problem, especially when their confidence is so hard won like with Shadow and Boyfie.

Cats somehow always do, they seem to know you're helping them. Adrian, I know this is a lot of trouble you went to, to get the trap, manage to get him into it, and transport him to the vet, and pay for his surgery. Bless you for doing it, for taking responsibility for the poor stray. Sherry > I finally took Shadow, the semi-feral I've been feeding, to the vet to be > neutered.

I hope you give him plenty of recovery time before turning him loose. Best wishes. Purrs on the way for Shadow to forgive you and mellow out ... AND to find a forever home. Good work Adrian!

Well done, Adrian! I'm sure he'll be better off. Do you want to keep him or are you going to try and adopt him out? SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Adrian, you are such a good person:-) I really liked reading about Shadow and all the cats were purring a storm for an uneventful snip - it seems to have helped:-) I hope, your masters will accept a new member in your household. Purrs to you Inge and the catgang SignatureCatManiacs World: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge I'll keep him if I can.

Here's hoping the integration goes well Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs >I finally took Shadow, the semi-feral I've been feeding, to the vet to be > neutered. Concatulation on the successful trap & op, and particularly on your new owner :) I know you've been a 3-owner slave before & it worked well, as it does for me: 2 tend to keep each other company and the third invariable seeks me out so no-one gets lonely. Purrs Gordon & the FF >> I finally took Shadow, the semi-feral I've been feeding, to the vet >> to be neutered. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Purrs > Gordon & the FF I bought shadow home about half an hour ago, he went straight out which didn't really surprise me he's a creature of habit. I really hope he comes back again, I think he will, but even if he doesn't he'll be much better off. The cost was very reasonable, £30.00 (60.00USD, 45.00EUR) he's actually the first cat that's arrived entire so I don't know if that's the normal price or not.

[quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > first cat that's arrived entire so I don't know if that's the normal price > or not. It sounds reasonable to me. The anaesthetic costs quite a bit. When Boyfriend arrived complete with his nuptials it was ages before he let me catch him. Months, as he was so shy. As I had no intention of keeping him at the time, the Cat's Protection League paid for his neuter as a stray, I only paid £5 towards it. As he insisted on creeping into my heart I gave the CPL a donation I thought would cover it. Shadow will come back for sure. He might sulk a bit is all. Congratulations for taking an entire tom out of the kitten circle. Tweed >>>> I finally took Shadow, the semi-feral I've been feeding, to the vet >>>> to be neutered.

I'm sure he'll decide to stay - he knows a good slave when he sees one. ;) I think that was about the same price I paid when Caliban was snipped. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Eighteen months ago when Claws was done here in Cornwall it was £25 (50USD, 37Euros roughly) so it looks about right - much cheaper than for D-things, IIRC they start at 3x that. Anyhoo, purrs that Shadow hangs around and integrates himself into your clowder: he certainly will if he appreciates the good life :) Cheers Gordon & the FF > I bought shadow home about half an hour ago, he went straight out which > didn't really surprise me he's a creature of habit.

I trapped and kept Brando awhile before I was able to get him in to be neutered, and he forgave me before we even got home! Purrs for Shadow on the way.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of Shadow, Adrian. I'm sure he not only forgives you but will soon consider you a great slave. Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek |
