When Trapping Feral Cats Goes Wrong

For about three weeks I have been feeding feral cats regularly after discovering a colony of them living near an apartment complex. I decided that I was going to trap one of the cats, have them fixed and then release them. I borrowed a trap about 6 days ago and decided that it was time to trap them. 

These Feral Cats are Smarter Than I Thought 

I went back to where I found them and for the past three or four days they have been missing in action. The cats are smarter than I thought. They know that they are about to be trapped and relocated to another city and they sense danger so they went into hiding. I won't be able to trap them. I thought it would be easy but it wasn't. Plus, I found out that it's cruel to relocate a feral cat anyway. I'm going to return the empty trap back to the cat organization that I borrowed it from. I miss the cats alot. They might return, and I'm not going to try to trap them. I'm just going to feed them and let them do their thing out there and reproduce. 

I can't leave any more food out there for them until they return, unless I plan on feeding squirrels and raccoons too, which I don't. According to Google, you shouldn't leave food out for feral cats if you haven't seen them lately. You never know what type of animal will be eating it. 

Some Inner City People Aren't As Smart As They Appear 

After I found out that the cats in that location were super intelligent, I learned something else from that experience. I learned that city people aren't as smart as I thought they were. All my life I been tricked into believing that city people are smarter than people in extremely rural areas. That is actually farthest from the truth. There's alot of slow people living in those fast paced cities. Alot of them. Just because someone lives in a fast paced city, doesn't mean that they're smart. I'll never let a city person fast-talk me or do anything dumb to me like back in the day. I learned my lesson. A person's intelligence should never be based on where they live. They could live in a fast-paced city and be one of the slowest, retarded people out there. Or someone could live in a rural area and be much intelligent and smarter than them.

Dodging Crooked Cops and Wild Bears

You know what else I learned, that the bears in the Dismal Swamp area are smarter than the bears in the mountains. Maybe that's why I never see them. They know how to avoid humans. Anyways, on the Chesapeake Dismal Swamp website it says exactly where the bears are. Unfortunately, I'm not going to get to see them. 

I don't travel to Chesapeake Virginia for any reason. I might get pulled over by the police and they might plant cocaine or crack in my car and frame me. They do stuff like that. What's going to be my defense if I've been writing song lyrics about past drug use in my music? They don't care how long ago it was. They're still racist and evil. The police are extremely racist and sickening out there. If you're black, from out of town, and reading this, don't travel to Chesapeake Virginia. Find another city. If you get framed by a nasty, racist, predatory cop, don't say I didn't warn you.

Anyways, I'm not going to get to see any bears because first of all, bears and dogs don't mix and I'm not going to leave my dog behind to go see them. I don't trust anyone with my dog. If people will bully and abuse me, then they'll bully and abuse my dog too. So for me, bear sightings are out of the question.
