The monster cat has been captured.We called Animal Control, but it was going to be at least Friday until the could come over, as there is a Skunk causing problems on the other side of town (it has sprayed the SAME Golden Retriever 4 times in the past 3 days); but she said we could set our own trap out, just check it often, give her a call/leave a message, & don't try to mess with the cat.Went out to our Farm Supply store & picked up a Live Animal Trap for 40 bucks & 3 cans of cat food at 35 cents a piece.  Set it up & waited.2 Hours later, we had the Demon Cat....Actually, we now have a half-starved, scared 3 month old kitten in a wire cage in the back yard.  (I've seen 1 other cat as well).That's what we caught.  A small white with grey spots kitten that's really hungry, scared & timid (probablly barely weaned).My anger has been misplaced.  The cat is not to blame.If you get a phone call saying "Your uncle got trampled to death by a Rhino at the zoo.  He jumped over the railing, ducked the Guard, Climbed the fence, ignored the warning signs, then poked the Rhino with a Stick." Can you really blame the Rhino?  Or even the Zoo?  Your uncle was an idiot.  The Rhino was doing what Rhinos do.  The zoo had guards to protect any reasonable human being.This cat (well, kitten) was doing what cats do.  He is not to blame.  At some point the actions of a human being are to blame.  I will no longer blame (or grow angry) at the cat.Instead by Anger & Frustration will be directed at the careless, nameless human who ALLOWED this cat to make my life miserable (& my neighbor, she spent 2 hours cleaning up her trash this morning).  It was an individuals decision to abondon this kitten, throw out its parents, or not fix some animal along its lineage.This is the diret cause of my misery, frustration, anger, and expense (40 bucks is 40 bucks).While I think most ENwolders are reasonable people, keep one thing in mind.A cat is only a pet to you.  To everyone else (potentially) it is a pest.  Not everyone will go to the trouble to humanely trap & turn over a cat to the Animal Shelter.Keep that in mind the next time you let kitty out the door.Vraille, who has to listen to pitiful kitten mews all night now, out.</blockquote>
