@gregbrady of kittens?!?
Color is amazing, very wild looking.My daughter wants the black one but she already has 2 cats
Next time you take the snacks out there bring a lawn chair. Just chill in it, they'll get more used to you just being there.
No, that was my grandfather. He didn't understand why you would keep vermin as a pet.What are you the
The pump action 22 I inherited from him probably killed hundred of feral cats when he was a kid.
Day 2
Still getting them used to the cage, great another kitten showed back up, I need a bigger box
Mom is checking me out, one release of the spring clip and I got them
But the black one isn't in there, I want to capture them all. Plus I noticed the one tabby looks like it has a wound, going to try and snag it this afternoon and check it out. If it is a wound I will run it over to my vet.

This works.
Keep the trap there. The black one will likely get caught.Day 2

Oh he was there, he was just chilling hanging back. I'm going to give my daughter one more day to figure out if her friends want them otherwise I found a no kill rescue local that I will take them to. Daughter had a list of people who said they wanted them and then as soon as I was able to trap them everyone backed out.
Assholes.
We used to trap and keep, but we're at capacity.
Now I've just got shop cats.
Figure it's a better life than a shelter for em. They get chipmunks and squirrels most days. Mice on others and the occasional bird.
And of course, we feed them too.
Christ, I'm bleeding out around 175/mo on cat food.

It's a work in progress, I can trap them, just trying to figure out where they are going.You still haven’t caught these things yet?
Wear welders gloves if and when you handle them the first few times. Feral kitten will stick you. Been there done that. 
Post photos up on facebook, free barn cats!

I have a foolproof method to teach them to be outside shitters.
Litter boxes are nasty.
Dad went out for a pack of smokes.Neighbor and I noticed we had about 6 kittens, mom and dad living under his shed.
We have been feeding them, but it is starting to attract skunks.
Haven't seen dad around in a week and 4 of the kittens have disappeared.
This is mom in the front, she is very easy to handle. The kittens on the other hand are skittish as hell, this is the closest I have been able to get to them by setting the food in front of me. As soon as I lean over to snag one the two kittens bolt.
I have good homes lined up for all three so they don't get taken out by whatever has taken out the others. I have a xlarge have a heart trap which I don't think they will set off so all three can get in there to hit the bait. Going to set that up tomorrow to try, any other suggestions if that doesn't work.
Start box training like normal, but have the box by the door.
After a while stop cleaning it.
Then move it outside that door, still full (so they can smell its out there).
Sliding glass works best cause they can see it.
After a couple days clean it and let them get used to going out to their sandbox.
Then never clean it again. Eventually they will just bypass it altogether.
So it's gross for a couple of months, but this has always worked for me.
Oh god, then my Frenchies and pug have a snack tray right next to the door
Hey pal, YOU asked!
The other sure proof way is to build a fire ring and make a 3' perimeter with sand.
It's my cats favorite place to shit
well at least you don’t have to clean it then.
Good point to be honest
Cat box crunchies (tm)
If they made dog treats out of that shit you couldn't keep it on the shelf.
My dog pretty much exists on a 50% shit diet.

Stepkids grandfather bought the house next door when it went into foreclosure and decided to fix it up and live in it. Previous owners had an above ground pool.
One of the first things he did was tear out the pool, leaving the big sand base that was beneath it still there.
It became a 12 foot circular letterbox for our cat before he hauled the sand out and filled it in with grass
