Don't worry....I'm not gonna "grab" her....I'm gonna try and get her to "come" to me on a regular basis for treats and petting....once she's comfortable with that....maybe she'll LET me hold her....Thanks for the warning....though....I will be extremely careful....not to spook her...and certainly not to get bit or scratched....I just would like an alternative to "trapping"....I don't like cages for dogs or cats....but I may not have an option here....but I will try the gentler approach first....Good News!!!! A shelter by me called and I spoke to one of the ladies that runs the place....and I asked if I could come visit the shelter...and maybe help out some and educate myself with cats and cat behavior....She also told me where I could borrow a trap from if it came to that...and we talked about spaying and shots & toys and catnip and other kitty interests...I'm gonna bring Miss Kitty a couple ping pong balls that I had here at my desk at work that I never use...and she said they like to bat around crumpled up pieces of paper....and on my next trip to the grocery store or pet store...I'm gonna pick up some catnip...she said it might get her to come closer to me....I'm not gonna hurry her though....She's got 2 more months of summer weather...and probably would be okay a little into the fall.....I will be careful though.....THANKS FOR THE WARNING!!!!
