I could just cry! (*Update in #15)

If the trap you are using has two entrances, one that trips and the other that allows tranfering, you may want to remove the transfering one. I do that when trying to trap. The cat gets used to going into the trap to eat but can leave, until you switch the opening. They go in and trigger the trap and you get your baby. I keep a cover over mine the whole time, so that when the trap does trigger, they are covered and it keeps them calmer. It does take longer this way, but is less stressful for everyone.

Hey, I never heard that about the nuts, either! Great info.

Misty get yourself back HOME dear girl!!!

My neighbor's cat, Bella, slipped out the door when the 4 year old grandson was visiting. Bella is declawed front (not by my neighbors, she arrived that way), and so we have ALL been worried about her, knowing we have coyotes about. This morning, after 5 DAYS, she appeared at their back door meowing up a storm. I could just imagine, "Let me IN, I'm HUNGRY!!!" No idea where she has been and of course, she is not telling.

So I pray that Misty gets herself back home safely as well!

Oh boy, I hope Misty gets in there and eats soon so that you can bring her back indoors. When I was trapping ferals for altering, sometimes it took seemingly forever and I was worried that they were going elsewhere for food but eventually they took the bait. So if Misty gets hungry enough, she'll walk in. We're still praying.....
