Well he's still out there. I picked up the trap Friday because of the high winds. Put it back out Sat morning in hopes to catch him because it was AWFUL cold out over the weekend. I have caught him "inspecting" the trap a few times over the weekend but he won't go anywhere near the opening. I wonder if he has been caught before, or had a bad experience or what. It seems as if he knows that he should not enter it.
I am not keeping my hope up with him being FIV &/or Leuk possitive. He just looks so much like most of the other cats I have caught. God I hope I am wrong.

I have caught 7 so far, in my park anyways within the last 8-10ish months or so. I am pretty sure most of them were related. 2 looked a lot a like & I bet money they were brother & sister, the sister was a momma and I caught her 3 babies (well not baby baby but a few months old) then there was one more a month or so later who looked a lot like the prior ones. Then the girl I just caught last week who was the only one who didn't look anything like any of the others.
I am thinking that since all of the park residents cats are FIV & LUEK NEGATIVE that the bunch of cats over the last year were maybe staying together then dumped here. The 6 I caught last year all arrived about the same time & looked a lot a like. I am not sure if these 2 were "leftovers" from last year & I just didn't see them or what. My neighbor is a cat person & she feeds the strays and also tries to catch them. We often talk about cats & she sometimes see's strays that I don't see (she has no dogs at her house lol) so it is possible that these 2 are last years dumps.
