HELP - Kitten won't come out!

[sirrahved]

I guess a bidet is just her ideal home!

Glad you caught her.

Kona wants to say that you should never underestimate the trickiness of a tortie girl!

I'm glad that you caught her and that she is safe. Best of luck to her at the shelter/vet so she will be returned to you quickly.

Sometimes I just have to smile at your situations~

I CAN see the funny side to it now - but last night it was not QUITE as amusing!!!

Of course everyone at the shelter had a hoot when I told them (let's face it - it's too good a story not to tell).

On a positive note, I trapped one of her "friends" this evening - not a littermate as she is much bigger (also a Tortie). Maybe her Mom? She also looks pregnant, but not too far along. She is incredibly skittish and is hiding in a box (The back of the bidet having been securely closed off!).

There are still at least another two - a Moo-Cow and a ginger and white one. The frustrating thing is only haveing one trap - I could have caught all three if I had 3 traps today. I will try for the other two tomorrow - one in the morning and one in the evening.

Good job! However, Miss Cammie salutes the "tortitudeness" of the situation.

Good work, Julie!!! I wish all the cats had people like you out there to help them into healthier and safer environments!! I love the Bidet story, though!!

She came out during the night, to have food and water, and to use the litter box (clever girlie)!!! I have put her food BACK INSIDE THE TRAP IN THE BATHROOM - that's a new one for me - trapping cats INSIDE to house

I'll let you know when I catch her!

ROTFLMAO. That's is one clever kitty.

Glad you got the kitten out. I hope you have no trouble with the others.

Update.

Miss Tortie is settling in at the shelter. They have named her PENNY.

The pregnant grey one is in the "maternity ward,"they have named her TILLY.

I took the larger Tortie in this morning, and later this morning I managed to trap the Ginger one too!!! So only one to go - a gorgeous Moo-Cow - hold thumbs that I can trap him too, because now he is on his own at the building site

WOW! You have really been busy!!
You do such a wonderful job! I swear you are like a one woman rescue service!! Those poor kitties are so lucky to have you around. They have a much brighter future because of you!

ps. I think you amazing!!!

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

AW, thanks so much for your kind words. I eventually got to a point where I reslised that just feeding them was not helping the situation in any way - and no-one else was going to step in....so I had to do something.....

You know the expression - the best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your arm!!!


There are A LOT of members here on Pet Talk who are doing MUCH MORE than I am - I am not going to list names in case I miss someone out, but their love of animals and ongoing commitment to their welfare just humbles me, and makes me want to do more too!

And I also think the work you are doing at the shelter is amazing and so selfless! (((HUGS))) to you.

I can't quite picture in my head how the kitty got stuck, but sure glad you got here again. It sounds like you're on a roll with your gang! Give yourself a pat on the back! And if it makes you feel any better, I've had to trap kittens in my house too!
