There is a stray cat living on my manor for the past 2 years. She is very timid. Last year she had a litter of two in my toolshed but one died. I managed to get hold of the surviving kitten when she was old enough as I had a home lined up for her, and she has settled in well there.

Only problem now is that the mother associates me with confiscation of her offspring. I never could get close enough to her to grab her and have her 'done' so after having the red light on for the last few months she is after getting herself in the family way again and this time has had her litter elsewhere. She still comes back to the house to get food but then disappears straight away to return to bambinos. I think they may be in a nearby disused quarry as there are lots of nice catty nooks and crannies there and a heap of prickly gorse bushes.

I need tips here on how to get back in this cat's good books and get her to bring her kittens home to me.
