Early last Tuesday morning I was hanging out some laundry, I turned around and there were three kittens peeping out from under my car!
I know none of my neighbours has cats because they are banned under the lease (the game keepers shoot them the evil barstools).
The kittens were starving as they were chewing the wing of a pigeon, anyway I managed to capture two of them and phoned my local Cats Protection for advice, meanwhile the mother cat had turned up, they said put some food out and some-one would come later in the afternoon.
I put a dish of tuna down and the mother and kitten wolfed it down but I couldn't get within ten feet of them.
The Cats Protection lady came but she couldn't catch them so she left a humane trap and within twenty minutes I had the third kitten, feisty little thing it ripped my hands to shreds with it's claws, but no sign of the mum.
The charity advised that the trap needed to be checked every half an hour because the cat would probably panic when trapped so it might be best to remove the trap overnight but living next to a really busy road and with the aforementioned gamekeepers I left the trap and had my Alexa wake me every thirty minutes to check the trap and refresh the hot water bottle for the kitten.
I caught the mum about 6am
When they were collected the lady told me that she thought that the mum was about a year old and the kittens about five weeks old and that some person had simply dumped them and left them to their fate.
