She has been trained now to make them more obvious, but since she has altered MANY of the ferals in Phil's neighborhood, I'm voting on tipped.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345364692939391051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961605850025742393.post-39899309969093378852012-04-30T18:40:20.516-04:002012-04-30T18:40:20.516-04:00I don't know about the ear - it doesn't lo...I don't know about the ear - it doesn't look like a tip to me, but we don't ear tip our ferals because we don't have any vets that can do it well.<br /><br />It is obvious to me though that some how the word has gotten out on the street that you have a cool porch for cats to hang at.
