I bought a trap at irontraps.net, or whatever it's called. I just
left Eviljob and i didn't see the kittens, but i did see Mehitabel
(from a distance) and i saw two teenagers. One was a tortie, and the
other one was orange, so now i'm wondering if those were the ones i
saw last night. Sigh.

You didn't get the buckettrap did you? Don't...they are really hard to get the cat out of and they aren't deep enough for a cat. It's possible to trap a cat in, but no where near as good as a standard cat trap.
uh-oh. Maybe I can donate it or sell it, then. :-/ It *looked* like a cool idea.
In slightly better news, today I borrowed two collapsible Havaheart traps from Bonnie (she's had to leave again, but Chrissy said I could take them from her garage), because the bucket thingy wasn't here yet (I didn't realise we'd had kittens again), so I have those instead. Just the problem is that I don't know how to build them. Or I am too stupid to figure it out, whichever. They are new and so they won't smell like any cat, but they have to be assembled, and the instructions blow goats. I have it all put together up to the point where the hook clippy thing at the top meets the long bar coming from the bottom panel-trip plate thingy. If I connect them together, the foot plate trippy thing won't go up when the hook part is in the door--it just stays flat. If I do it Harry's way (the *wrong* way) and not connect the two parts, then the foot plate thing *will* come up, and it will spring the hook thingy and close the door, but then the footplate thingy's bar just falls down loose on the side of the cage, which is not how Chrissy'd identical trap worked at all. I don't know what else to do, I am getting (more) depressed, and the only time I have to deal with this is tomorrow and maybe Monday, and I *still* don't know what in the crap I am going to do with these kittens once I catch them...*if* I catch them.
But I do have mackerel. Oh! And! An overwhelming desire to save the little kitties. I have that, too. I just hope that I don't fuck this all up tomorrow.
