    This is a rather late upload lol. Enjoy me rambling and plotting how to gently abduct the stray cat. Edit: NO, my title is not sarcasm and no I did not move to avoid racism. I moved for *a high quality of life.* It's just a plus that I'm around honest, upfront people. Someone commented as my last video, "The left wing and the right wing belong to the same bird, " after all. Think about that.
    FAQ: *How did I move? Did I break my lease?* I transferred to a different apartment building free of charge just with a new deposit. Think of my old luxury Boston building as a fancy Russian all-glass McDonald's. I moved to another McDonald's with similar interior, but different exterior. Same chicken nuggets, with cheaper rent. When I finish this lease I'm buying a house in the woods STAT. I have to get used to lizards because I'm not interested in city life or being connected all the time anymore. I'm doing all the home-buying research now. I'm hoping to find my Jethro because I'd love help building a cabin from scratch tbh.

And that’s the truth. Hurt those Lilly white heads of yours to grasp that?

    Oh and tips on getting the stray: leave food but don't capture it the first time, give a few days so the cat knows this is where it will get its food. While the cat is eating, leave your door open and see if it will come inside. Most likely it will not stay long, maybe 10mins or so and then it would want to leave, let it leave.
    After a day or two with the cat inside for short visits, bring the food inside and see if it will eat inside the apartment.
    If cat eats in the apartment, and it's stays lengthen to 45mins+, then it is time to capture it.
    Make sure you have stuff for it first, like food, litter box, food bowls, basic toys but not too much at first, and a kennel or travel bag.
    The kennel will be for when you take it to the vet which will need to happen very soon after the cat is captured

    Regarding strays: the best thing you can do, if you plan on homing one, is to take it to the vet for a checkup once you trap it. You can get cat traps and carriers online (I use Chewy, and my cats LOVE their comfy fabric carrier). The vet will be able to scan it to see if it’s chipped or not and also whether it’s been neutered/spayed. I’d strongly discourage letting an un-neutered Tom into your apartment... they’re usually super friendly and social but will also piss everywhere. But strays and rescues are great. They usually display gratitude and affection to their humans. Get the Temptations treats. Cats go NUTS for them!

    Good tip for lizards from a Floridian: They can not run and breathe at the same time. If a lizard gets in, it will be insanely easy to catch if you slide it into the box when it's taking a breathing break. They don't have much stamina either due to this so they stop often (: (I'm not a scientist, this is just something i've picked up from living where I do and interacting with lizards daily.) You can also easily pick them up like that man did and put them outside or somewhere else. When you're trying to get them to move, sometimes they may be taking a breather, so just wait a little while then get a little closer to them and they'll run :D!! You get use to your tiny little neighbors, trust me

    You are supposed to use "cat traps" to get strays.
    You put a can of food in the trap & when a cat goes in, the open door closes.
    Also if you get them. Take them to a vet later. Because some cats have microchips. & vets can check if they have an owner.

They are the best, i live somewhere warm (not in the states so there isn't animal control) and i love that I get the cuddles, can feed and provide for him but I dont feel too responsible or trap him in a house, though I have a door he can enter my yard.. I havent left for years but if i ever do my neighbors also feed him. I will never own a pet but when strays come and give me love, you do feel chosen!

    I moved from London to rural Spain and I am just getting ready to go to the local seed shop and pick what I'll grow on my huge land which did cost as much as ONE YEAR of renting a room in London and I have it for LIFE.
    With the internet, I can totally see why more and more people go for it.
    After a year of sitting at home in lockdown, I'd much rather sit in a home that also has a massive garden to keep me busy.
    With love and strawberry seeds,
