My newest hot tub guest
hotubinn:
Buy a humane trap, and deliver it to new neighborhood! :D
Bonibelle:
Can't do that :(... it would just end up either starving or getting killed on the road. For whatever reason, it picked me and I will never turn away a hungry critter..if it catches mice and chases chipmunks it will earn it's keep..It just can't hang out on my hot tub cover!
Campsalot:
Bonibelle; the stuff is sticky one one side (the side the cat lands on)although I would think you would need to stick to the hut tub cover with some scotch tape or something. Also, if you neuter your cat and intend on letting it stay outside do not de-claw it as the claws are the only thing protecting it from predators. I am curious where the cat is doing its bathroom thing. Cats can be real problems on lawns, sand boxes, plants, etc. Also a feral cat like this one could have all sorts of medical problems. If you are pregnant or have any children or close friends that are pregnant and also if anyone has any real young children (0-9 MONTHS) keep them away from the cat.
I would suggest you take the cat to the pound. Good luck! It's sounds like you have a huge heart! The cat got lucky!

The covers stay warm on top retaining heat from the sun. I'll find gerral cats on mine occasionally, but haven't seen them do any damage
Bonibelle:
No fear Campsalot, If I am pregnant, I am going to the pound!! :o
The kitty is outside and we don't have any young kids or sandboxes, so no worries there. I think someone may have dumped the cat here thinking it would find a home on the farm in front of me. The herd of barn kitties would never allow aliens so it probably has spent many nights hungry and cold. If I get it medical attention, it will should be fine and I would never declaw anything...If it turns out to be a good mouser, It will be a blessing as the mice around here carry ticks with Lyme disease. I much prefer the natural elimination of mice, to traps or poison.
I think Bill is right about the kitty enjoying sunning on the top. Why it rolled over and dug it's claws into the vinyl, I don't know. It was almost like it was stretching and putting it's claws in and out to feel the surface.
It has spent this NorEaster in my green house. I made it a bed and it seems happy to watch the storm, dry and warm.
How could I take it to the pound? :( :'(
