When I was trapping and finding homes for cats, Melissa, there were some that were just as obstinate as could be. I finally managed to trap them by holding back all food, as cruel as I felt, until the 4th or 5th day and by then they were so hungry that they walked into the trap. Problem is that even though they were placed in homes, they ran away and came back to their old spot, so don't be surprised if that happens. However, if you have them altered, at least that will be one less problem to deal with. There's one cat, old Tom, that I never was able to trap. He was just too darned crafty and I felt bad about it b/c that boy needed to be neutered! Sometimes it just doesn't work, honey, and we have to comfort ourselves w/knowing that we tried our best and hardest. It's tough, though, when the weather is so brutally cold. We feel that they should be eager for warmth and food and shelter but they're so used to being feral and running free that a new life is just too frightening for them.
