Barn cat update!
Turns out we trapped two females and four males, including "Big Papa", the feral who the barn owner says has fathered about half the cats on the farm. Sorry, Papa, your daddy days are over!
Everybody made it through surgery just fine, and were back on the farm recovering last night.
Next date with destiny for the Yellow Barn 46: January 24, when we have six more slots at the clinic. Yippee!

Makes me think of Dr. Cecil Jacobson, who fathered about 75 babies when he was supposed to be helping his patients with infertility. Oops! John Goodman was outstanding playing him in a sketch on SNL, sitting surrounded by lots and lots of kids....trying to make conversation, "Whose birthday is today?" ....several kids raise hands.....
haha James P., I must have missed that skit! :) Maybe they should have called the cat "Cecil".
Cats aren't pack animals like dogs are, but in every feral cat colony there seems to be one male that fathers the majority of the kittens. Which would explain why 95% of the cats on this farm are orange. :) Luckily, nobody seems to be suffering from the ill effects of inbreeding, but I'm glad we're getting this population under control.
(I should have made it clear that the ladies didn't know that Dr. Cecil was fertilizing their eggs in the lab........Crafty dude. Short, fat, hideous crafty criminal dude.)
