Nikki Is Alive!

[davidpizzica]

She was sitting in my backyard as I pulled up my driveway. She looked scared, but most importantly she looks to be unhurt. I reset my trap hoping she will be lured in. I don't have her yet, but now I know she is alive and in the area. I'm VERY relieved!

THAT MUST BE SO SAD THAT SHES THEREAND WONT COME TO YOU.
I HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET NIKKI INSIDE AND FIND OUT WHY SHES SO SHY.
AND WE PRAY THAT SHES YOUR DEAR FRIEND ONCE AGAIN SOON.

VERY reassuring!

Use some smelly tuna from a can, tuna in OIL. That is what we use when rapping our ferals.

Hope she is lured back quickly.

Freedom, I have some VERY smelly sardines in oil in the trap.

What wonderful joyful news!!

Oh my goodness, this is encouraging, David! We'll send up prayers that Nikki goes into that trap w/no problem and that all will go smoothly.

That is sad, but I'm relieved to know she's alive and uninjured.

Neither of my Abys, if they escape, will come to me outside. Juni has been know to be outside for a full two days. That is why she doesn't get the chance ordinarily...she has to escape. Chloe is a bit better, but not much better. I have to leave the door ajar and then wait, for Juni and Chloe. I have actually caught Juni once, and still have the scars to prove it.

I think either trapping her or leaving a door open for awhile might do the trick.

Good luck.

DAVID I HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH MY POUNCER WHERE SHE HAD TO STAY WITH MY AUNT AND UNCLE WHILE THEY WERE FUMIGATING MY APARTMENT BUILDING.
I CAME WITH MY CASE TO GET MY SWEER TORTIE AND SHE HISSSED AT ME , GROWLED AND BIT AS THOUGH SHE HAD NEVER SEEN ME BEFORE. SHE WAS IN A CRAWL SPACE BY THE PIPES IN THE BASEMENT , OF COURSE IN THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACE TO REACH HER.
I HAD TO PUT ON HEAVY GLOVES AND DRAG HER OUT.
THEN SHE CALMED DOWN AND SEEMED TO RECOGNIZE ME AGAIN.
OH ITS YOUUU!!!!
I PRAY THAT NIKKI WILL COME TO HER SENSES TOO, AND BE YOUR FRIEND AGAIN. IS THERE SOMETHING WITH YOUR SCENT THAT MIGHT REVIVE HER MEMORY?

[mrscat]

thank god! at least she is alive & hopefully well but she will be shaken up. yes, tuna & sardines are best to lure her with or whatever her favorite is & maybe you can put one of her toys or something familiar to her in the trap as well. she must be nearby. send her some reassuring thoughts too. i want to read about a happy & positive reunion. eva, mrs cat

David ~ Could you take a chair and sit outside for a while? Take your phone outside and make some phone calls and visit with friends. If Nikki hears your voice, she may come up to you. She's close by. She's just scared.

[momcat]

David, this is wonderful news!!!!!! I hope she didn't have some sort of scary experience that's making her keep her distance. Nikki is definitely nearby!

Nikki, your catdad misses you very much and more than anything he wants you home again. Don't be scared, Sweetie, you're not in any trouble

[Moesha]

I am SO happy to read this! We'll be looking forward to hearing that you were able to get her back inside with you very soon.
