Smokey peaced out today...

[STORMS]

So, my cat Smokey, is an indoor cat. Well he's supposed to be anyway , but someone left the back door open and he peaced out. I went out for a smoke and saw him chillin in the back yard at first I thought he was my neighbors kitty and didn't give it a second thought. Went back in the house and haven't seen him for a while, so started tearing the house apart looking for him. Nowhere to be found. Went back outside and there he was again - as soon as he saw me he took off and is now under my deck and I can't get to him

So whats a good way to catch a scared kitty??? I doubt he'll survive outside for long...he's such a puss. Thank god he's not declawed so at least he can defend himself if need be. I'm just worried cuz the coyotes are rediculous out here!

Any ideas? Any suggestions would be appreciated

How sad and frustrating...

This may sound odd but....does your hubby have any large rodent traps? I would bate a trap next to the deck and hopefully he will take the bate...


GOOD LUCK!!!!

Why didn't I think of that!!!! We do have a trap...a couple actually, for catching & relocating pesky coons.

Going to go set it up now with a can of tuna for bait...

I have my fingers crossed - I love that stoooopid cat!!

Good luck!
My aunt has some declawed cats that she lets out.. worries me a bit but they seem to defend themselves and kill rabbits, birds, and rats all the time.. as well as bring them inside. D:

Tuna smells fantastic to kitties.

That's always fun, we've done that a few times

Catching them is easy, releasing them is a whole other story

Skunks are easy. Keep a tarp or blanket in front of you and cover the trap, then move it anyplace. Caught quite a few without problems
