Our daughter got her certification for TNR, she has appointments for 13 cats.
Within 5 hours they caught 10 of a 13 cat colony.
She lives in an apartment but she was able to get a neighbor to let them use their basement to keep them overnight and for a couple days after surgery.
She’s paying for everything, including shots, for a better chance of getting them homes or into the rescue she volunteers at.
I think she found homes for a couple of them but right now she’s trying to get help for an injured squirrel.
She is so our daughter. The cool thing is, her husband is on board with the whole thing.

This photo, by Duncan Liecht, caught my attention. It was in an article about geckos using a part of the inner ear usually associated with balance to detect vibrations. The gecko’s eye is gorgeous
In a new study published in Current Biology on October 4, 2024, the researchers revealed that geckos use the saccule—a part of their inner ear traditionally associated with maintaining balance and body positioning—to detect low-frequency vibrations. According to the researchers, this special “sixth sense” also plays a complementary role to the geckos’ normal hearing and the way they sense the world around them. The team believes that this previously unrecognized hearing mechanism may be present in other reptilian species as well, challenging existing ideas about how animal sensory systems evolved and diverged over time.

that looks like a Tokay gecko. they are quite lovely and very aggressive, cantankerous and bitey!
they are invasive, but established in florida, especially here in the way, way south.
we have one living behind our shop. we call him George, George Tokay.
oh, myyy…
edit: okay, i RTFA and indeed, that is a Tokay.

Great cormorant in Finnish merimetso meaning ‘sea capercaillie’. Weirdly we don’t call capercaillies metsämetso ‘forest capercaillie’. Others are kyhmyjoutsen [mute swan] lump swan and nokikana [coot] soot chicken.

She’s grown so gorgeous 
great job keeping her alive! She could be Nimbus’s sister, even similar eye colors, though she has some lovely tan and peach he doesn’t have

Our daughter has been hard at work, of the 13 feral cats, she’s found homes for 6, a couple more in process, and she’s trying to work out the details for a rescue from Chicago to take the rest. She’s in Michigan.
Talk about networking.
They’ve all been spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, all their shots, and dewormed. Only one had fleas but that’s been taken care of.
She’s a very good kid.
Here are most of them.
