We do too. Our baby kitties are between three and four weeks old. Both
are solid black. I am bottle feeding them. Their mom is a lousy mother
and is known to just get tired of nursing and leave the kitties so this
time we pulled THEM for handfeeding.

Well, I got this silly 6 months old Yellow Crown that chatters all the
time and wants to crawl under the covers like a dog in my bed. She
also picks stuff up off of TV. We just figured out that the
"Lulululululululuululu" she yells at the top of her lungs is from
"Xena Warrior Princess"!!!!
EH>-> However outside, we are dealing with a racoon that has been
helping itself to our doves. I had to move them because of the attacks.
EH>-> set up a coon Havahart trap but have only caught our outdoor
cats so EH>-> far.
EH>OW! Too bad!  But quite likely you'll never catch the coon.  They're TOO
EH>Smart!  If you take away the temptation eventually he'll go away, but
EH>you're very likely gonna have to resort to a twenty two..... sigh
We haven't caught it yet and you're probably right, we probably won't.

EH>I certainly wish you good luck, but as SMART as they are and as
EH>PERSISTENT as they are, I fear you've got little choice.  I've heard
EH>that peanut butter sometimes lures them where they wouldn't ordinarily
EH>go.....
