		<description>Here in the states they have two sizes of traps for cats, kitten traps and cat traps. Many times, I have had adult cats go inside kitten traps. Although uncomfortable, it is just what happens.</description>

		<description>Of course there is a point in microchipping a cat or kitten. Once you have the chip placed in the animal, it is up to you to keep the registration office apprised of your current address. Once an animal is lost and then scanned at a vet&#039;s office, you will be called that the cat has been found.  If someone loves a cat enough to microchip it, they will pick up the cat as soon as possible to get it back home.  If they have moved and left no forwarding, yes, then it is entirely possible that the cat will be put down.</description>

		<description>hi

if owners had to be found first, even though you knew there were no owners,
and you brought back a microchipped kitten ,which you wanted to make a little bit more tame (just picking it up and cudlling it) to gardens just in case it had owners.
and a state body or company put traps down and the microchipped kitten, which you have a house for but HAVE to wait to see if an owner is found, and if it entered the trap playing with house cats in certain grounds and fields of this state body ,who does not like cats wandering it&#039;s property ,public property where kids go too, could they if it wandered into a trap on this public grounds, still put it down if trapped????????????
even though it has a name on the microchip.
could they put it down.
i was told owners have to be found first???and now there is a possibility that everyone&#039;s cat who enters the grounds may be trapped and  maybe even  , not sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, put down.
just in case they were
which means that if i had a cat coming into my grounds i could just bring it to a vet and put it down ,even if microchipped, so is tehre any point microchipping a CAT</description>

		<description>I think in your area because it is common to let pet cats outside,  you may never know if the cat is owned or not. If the cat is scruffy, coat unkempt, oily, in bad shape all around then it is likely the cat is neglected, lost or tossed out and un-owned. Trapping so public has its hazards, so yes, it is likely that you might be sued by an owner (doubtful, but likely) If I am trapping and a tomcat wanders into the trap, I neuter him. The females it depends on their shape and if they are actively nursing or not. But I never let people know that I am trapping or where as they can be unkind to the cats and even to me. I try to stay low-key and fly under the radar and I have in the past neutered a neighbor&#039;s cat (intentionally) because he was such a nuisance of a tom. He ended up living with us for years before some low-life shot him through the chest with an arrow and he died in our garage. :(</description>

		<description>do you have any suggestions for me????????????
trying to find out if a black cat with white socks is owned, as nobody in the street is even bothered telling me what colour black a cat is from a lady who seems to have 3 cats.
I had 2 cats in the trap yesterday, (knowing htey are most likely stray)
had to let them go as somebody may own them and they could be sued.
(they will most likely get litters, and it will cost them more to drive up and down to catch the kittens (i will not catch new kittens as i did not get help)
so they will make more litters.
the black cat is not neutured but 100% could be owned, a black cat a lady owns with white.
the people who asked me to help them live across the street from this lady and they also do not be bothered asking her.
i am ther now for the last week getting taxi&#039;s to catch a remaining female and if hse is owned   well htey will have to pick her up to prove they are the owners

that should be fun
i go to make a picture of the cat and hang notes in the daycare centre of the churh   and the playschool in hte church is going to hang a note
They live across from this lady i heard (the friends) but do not bother asking and me sititng there day on end
I hve to go back to catch a cat i neutured to make sure he is oke as he lost weight, most likely due to otehr cats eating the food the ladies put there.
i feed him now at evening
jsut so frustrating   that a lady has the clue and nobody bothers to ask  
would save me getting taxis and go shopping for achange or a nice walk
but all i do is sitting in the  church ground with traps seeing the cats go in and i can neuture them as they can be owned, who owns them nobody knows
They will all come running for me to get rid of kitty cats born in gardens
but my door will be closed
they could be sued the animal society if i did neuture them, but how are you picking up a house cat who will scrathc the eyes out of your face
the owner who feeds them, IS THE OWNER OF THE CAT    that woudl be ME
CCTV camera&#039;s in the church ground   I CAN PROVE I FEED THEM

would you go ahead and do it neuturing but females have stitches if go home  to the people who own them
i still think i go to neuture the black and white one    i am sure she is not going to look at a certain place

she be thanking me for it  unless i give her al lthe kitty cats</description>

		<description>Carla, 

Ask your vet from now on when he neuters or spays, to ear tip the left ear tip of the cat. They do it while the cat is under, just take off the bare minimun of the tip of the ear and it makes for easy identification later. It doesn&#039;t  bother the cat because they only take off the bare tip, like a notch.</description>

		<description>i have a question.

since november i have been seeing two adult white cats ,which i had neutured, and this week i was stunned to find out ,1 looks identical to her sister,brother, who i did not neuture.
 They came on separate times, first one and left and tehn came back (i thought), but they all come closer now towards the feeding bowls near me. and there they were ,sitting, beside each other.
I am pretty sure the one with the lighter ears i neutured but still could be wrong. i am just afraid i bring the one i neutured back to the vet.
so funny
did you ever have that happening to you and did you neutre her.
i hate the thought she gets operated on again
She or he must have been the one i heard crying and there is still an unneutured male?  (house cat??)</description>
