Or is that just me hard to believe Im back using a torch to do the feeding a year on the downward slope so fast let's see let's start where I start at the old bosses Katie is in kitten there is five well.big kittens there I can't do anything except keep them fed and watered I won't step on the property but they all very well and healthy now saying that if one needs help well that's a different matter I will cross the gate at that stage twirley has moved in with that group at the moment but if he needs a bit of tlc he hits back to the carpark at the shop that's the front of the bosses in the walkway at the back of there is four cats bumped into them by accident one night when I cycled in to town I was able to go up the walkway the last two nights I have met a lady feeding them so I also give them a.little but it's nice to see someone helping off to the estate these are smart cats and kittens but before I get to them at the top of the road there is four in different areas and they know my time ok food down for them and on the snowball and biscuit and Harry and fluffy and bubbles stripe Felix ninga and blanket the last two are kittens named by the kids in the area i feed them at night but the kids feed and play with them all day every day but school restart soon I think but kids with great hearts next the pub hiss Aoide and Katey who is a boy and last night I had she shy looking good sometimes I have drifter at the pub but not tonight the shop.is still the largest gathering every now and again I will.get a new one that stays for a while gathers its strength and moves on thank god all under my care are well and healthy I think I got a home for a kitten tonight a cat that arrived at our vet some time ago heavy in kitten and vet kept her in the practice she was a beauty she had four kittens all ready for homes tomorrow mum had a rta this morn and didn't survive poor lady but I homes one and will.be working on the others what a sad way to finish my walk about all in all between feed and chatting it takes a hour to do the feed and prob half hour preparing the food tomorrow I will do hedgehogs and foxes

Lovely to have an update on all the cats and kittens - some good news and some sad news, but life goes on and you look after the ones left. Nice that you are getting a bit of help. Do you see many hedgehogs and foxes? Or do you just leave the food out for them? I get a hedgehog visitor most nights.

How lucky you are to see 2 foxes. I haven't seen one for about 20 years. Where I live is a suitable habitat for them but they are hiding from me.

I hate to hear of any animal being hurt for whatever reason. I'm that daft that on my dog walk with Kobi yesterday along a cycle track we came across a huge caterpillar crossing from the one side to the other. I wouldn't go until I could see it had got safely to the other side! I didn't want it to get squashed by a cyclist.

Ah that's me can't see anything hurt i volunteered to help do a hedgehog survey ucg were trying to get a figure on how many hedgehogs are in Ireland I had a forestry in mind to check out but I walked it one eve and we'll to be honest twas ok but I just didn't feel safe another person might have loved it but twasnt for me there is huge fields at the back of ours and it's full of rushes and overgrown hedges so I got permission to set out 10 footprint tunnels for 5 nights over the five nights I found two hedgehogs in the field at the back of us nothing in all the rest was disappointed but now that I know they are there well sure being me I can't pretend they not there so I'm feeding them as well sure it's only two little mouths to feed

That's so good of you to do the survey and at least 2 little hedgehogs won't starve.
