Wonderful to see Bast back with you and well enough to be a nursing Mom. Here story was such a sad one, it's good to have a happy ending.

One of my neighbors, a few houses down from me has been having problems with finding big poop in his yard every day lately and since he has an infant and a todler, decided to set a trap to see what animal was leaving him the "gifts".

Today, he saw me out in the garden and showed me what he had caught. It was a big raccoon. I gave it some water and a little cat food and brought it over a cover for the trap. Neither of us could see nipples, but he called a wildlife rescue worker and she came over and looked at it and said it wasn't a nursing mother, so they took it and released it in a park further outside of town. I have a feeling there are a lot more raccoons in the park across the street from us, so it may not stop the messes in his yard. Here is a shot of the poor scared guy.
