Ack! Take the sign down, quick!

Update on feral kitten:

New owner came to get kitty today. Two hours of cajoling and feeding and playing with a string later, I managed to catch him by the scruff (unfortunately, not firmly enough) and put him in a carrier. Both new owner and myself, through being old and slow of reflex, are now sporting long bloody wounds which we hope swift cleaning and treatment will prevent further consequences.

Another couple of weeks and I think it would have been an easier job, but timing can't always be perfect, and he's on his way to a new home where he'll be pampered and petted (as soon as he's out of his current murderous mood) and well looked after - there's even a cat-loving doggie waiting for him.

Happy Mew Year, everybody!
