A mountain to climb.....but reached the peak we did.

Last night was really siong man! A caregiver came to me for help. Said a cat just gave birth but she couldn't eat the last 4 days cos each time she bites something she will run away screaming. I guessed a fish bone could have been stuck in her throat and he guessed she could be having toothache. How is she gonna nurse her kittens if she can't eat? She need to see the vet so we spent 2 nights trying to trap her. She n her kittens were in a drainage hole and the end that opened onto the road was sealed shut with thick hard mud. Had to dig out the mud but can only do it late at night when there is less traffic. We had to stop digging each time a car passes by but finally dug through and used a mop to poke her out and she ran straight into the trap on the other end. Somebody had to hold the trap in mid air exactly where the drainage opening is and someone else had to shut the trap door and the trap was damn heavy. Anyway, what matters is that we acheived our objective. This must have been one of the most difficult cat to trap. The professional cat trappers will never do all this, I bet you!
