Stray cat saga continues...

When they lend you the cage, you have to agree you'll keep it covered with a towel. It keeps the cat calmer. So, when I caught the stray overnight, when he was growling so much, I didn't uncover it because I didn't want to upset him. What I could see of the color looked right.

I caught a feral cat.

Poor thing was in the cage so long or was so scared that he peed on himself, so now my porch smells god-awful.

Plus side: They'll neuter the cat before they release him.

Down side: Siamese is still out. Porch smells.

I hosed down the cage and my porch, but it still smells. I suspect that the Siamese is going to have even less interest in going in it now.

I have no idea what Plan B is yet.

Ugh, cat pee smell is the worst. We use an enzyme cleaner. One of the common brand names is "Nature's Miracle." You just hose down everything and let it air dry. You can get gallon jugs of enzyme cleaner at Petsmart.

This. I semi-joke that I should own stock in that or a similar product called Petastic.

I had never smelled unfixed male cat pee before. It's the worst. Ugh!

Thanks!
