| Maltese cat outside an archeological site - ear tip on left ear just visible. |
With the help of my human I have been researching unowned cats in Malta. There are not many.
During a 6 day investigation, my human observed only 8 cats. Of these 7 appeared to be unowned - no sign of collar etc. And all 7 had tiny notches in their ears.
This was a sign that they had been trapped, neutered and spayed then returned to the site they belonged to. In 5 cases there were signs of feeding bowls and shelter suggesting a managed colony.
It is called TNR - Trap, Neuter and Return. Malta are doing it wonderfully.
This is wonderful news! I love hearing about it. And how good that the notch is there instead of the disfiguring lopping off of the top of the ear.
