Gary, the stray/feral kitty that has been hanging around for several months finally has an appointment tomorrow morning to be fixed. We're not taking him to our vet but are using a low cost program in the next town west of here. He has to be there at 7:30 in the morning. My mom is going to drop him off when she takes my dad to the airport. She'll have to leave here around 6:30. He has to be in a carrier not a humane trap. He has gotten where he'll rub up against your legs when you go out to feed them. You can even touch his back while he is eating. (A far cry from when he ran away if you looked at him.) If we try to touch him when he isn't eating, he has squatted at us. So how do I go about grabbing him and putting him in a carrier. He eats on the deck in the back with a sliding glass door. I've thought about putting the carrier inside the house and positioning the food bowl in front of it. Then while he is eating I would sneak up and grab him and toss him in the carrier. I'll have to be sure that I'm well protected because I sure he'll get scared. Should I try to do this tonight and leave him in the carrier all night? Should I do it tomorrow and take a chance on something going wrong and not being able to get him? Advice please!
