Another round of Music School trapping yielded a fantastic catch, which made up for the fact that it was the only catch. I went trapping again on Tuesday night and managed to catch the big feral male who had been impregnating all the ladies in the area. He's fathered quite a few at this point, so it felt great to finally put that to a stop!!! He's also a very large cat, and very aggressive (there were more than a few hisses and instances of him spitting at me when I tried to feed him during recovery... and that was how he acted coming out of sedation so just imagine him when he's at 100%). Being neutered will not only help us keep the number of kittens down, but will also make him a bit less aggressive since he'll no longer feel the need to compete for a mate.
He did have really bad fleas though, so he got a heavy dose of Revolution before being released Thursday evening. It won't stop the problem forever, but at least it will help him get over this nasty infestation (and will help with mites, worms and other invasive beings)!!
