We have had a mommy cat around our house for a few weeks. She was in the backyard and such… Well we could hear something in the chimney area of the house, so I thought it was the squirrels. Nope, it was mommy cat. Why do I call it mommy cat?
Well a few days ago, I blocked off the entry into the house from the AC lines with a towel. Well about 5 hours later all I hear is mew, mew, meeeeewwwwww! Oh, no I thought, kittens. So I go outside and mommy cat is sitting on the fence trying to figure out how to get inside. Well I removed the towels, and mommy cat proceed to go back into the house through the vent. Well, there are kittens. Wonder how old they are. We found that there are 3 distinct voices, and last night we could see them through the hole for the gas line connector to the fireplace. 3 little kittens!
SO we had the critter guys come out and they put out a kitten trap. Well mommy cat kept setting it off trying to get at the cat food. So last night late I went to check the trap. Low and behold something was in there, but it sure was big… It was a POSSUM! Not what I was expecting at all to say the least. Well they are taking away the trap so we doing entice any other critters in, and we are going for a manual extraction.
So today we are going to get them out. We are going to wait till they come down and are easiest to access, then get them out of the chimney by removing the dormer screen from the house, getting them out, replacing the screen and closing it off for good. No more kitties in the house, and definately no more possums.
I will post pics.
