So, like most places, the supercenter where I work has a gang of feral cats. One of the overnight associates brings cat food and tuna each night to work and puts it under her car - the cats can be seen gathering near her parking space up to forty minutes before she arrives Technically, we're not supposed to feed them, but we can't just let them starve.
Two of the cats in particular are bolder than the others, they look alike with lemur/raccoon type markings - they are SO pretty. These two like to hang around the smoker's table outside and they like me and Needy a lot, when they hear us talking, they know we're on lunch and they come almost right up to the table because they know we'll share our food with them. I also happen to know that there are some people on overnights who deliberately kick at the cats and some people (whether customers or associates, I don't know) have actually been caught by security trying to RUN THEM OVER with vehicles. I know we can't save the whole gang, but everyone is starting to have a soft spot for the lemur siblings and I'd really like to catch them so they can get out of the parking lot life. I probably wouldn't be able to keep them myself, in fact I'd probably get scalped if I came home with another animal at this point, but I do want to save them.
Like I said, they come really close to particular people, but if they even think you're reaching out for them, they scram. Some of us are thinking of having a 'day off' project and trying to get these guys. Any tips, or should we just leave them alone? I'm just afraid they're going to get hurt if they stay where they are.
