Hoodini got outside!!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

I saw him last night. Almost caught him too but in the rain he is a lot faster than I am .

Following him around gave me a better idea of his routes. As soon as my financial aid comes in I am going to buy a humane trap (supposedly Harbor Freight Tools has them for $20). I have a few ideas of where I could hide a trap and lure him into it without him even noticing.

This is a process *sigh*. If I actually hunted, this would give me good training!

Come on Hoodini! Let meowie get you back in the house!

Please, God, please help Hoodini come back in.

I keep checking the thread title; when I don't see any change, I keep on praying.

I do hope he hasn't gone feral. I keep hoping and praying he is trapped and comes back inside.

Oh My, Sorry to hear your cat is outside and in the rain. I know that would worry me also. Keep us posted. Kay in NC at 10:49pm 1/4/11

I keep looking and every couple of days I do see him. Now I'm just waiting for money to come through because I figure even at $3 a day, I'll use the trap long enough to just BUY the darn thing!
So I'm just going to buy one and go from there. I plan on living in this building a LONG time (until I graduate at least) so if I have to trap a different spot every day for months, I'm going to.
At this point not only do I miss him terribly, but also I am not going to let myself be beaten by a stubborn cat.

I keep hoping I'll come here to check and Hoodini will be inside! Many prayers that you catch him soon.

This is such odd behavior for a Cat , although My Pouncierge may have stayed out a lot longer if Tubby 2 had not picked her up and brought her home.

I would leave sometyhing good from the Deli in the trap and pray you do not catch every stray as I did when I tried to snag Pouncer Roccalno
Come Home Hoodini, Please!!!

I keep hoping I'll come here to check and Hoodini will be inside! Many prayers that you catch him soon.

I do too! Come inside, Hoodini; I miss you!

I wanna run wild
Kitty, it's cold outside
And act like a child
Kitty, it's cold outside
I wanna chase mice and birds all day
The mice and birds have gone away
Claustrophobia makes me jumpy
Your bed's all cold and lumpy
The neighbors will feed me too
That's something they shouldn't do
The road to "inside" is bumpy
You need to trust me, honey
The only good about it is you
I'll see you through

A cat needs some space
Kitty, it's wet out there
And has to save face
What can you get out there?
But I get so tired of mud and snow
You've got a better place to go
I want to be a lynx or a bobcat
You can't convince me of that
Not soft from an easy ride
We'll let that slide
That tuna smells good
Kitty, it should, 'cause it's cold outside!

Come home, Hoodini!

Love, Columbine

Your continued thoughts about my boy are comforting! I sure do hope I can catch him, or if he has made a new human friend I can at least make sure he is in a good place.

Much to everyone keeping track of this odyssey.

hadn´t posted till now.. but check often..

I also saw the traps and yes they are 21 and 26 med and big respectively.. if you need $ and have paypal let me know.. I can chip in a few.. I know what is to loose a pet.. but it must be harder seeing him just roaming and unable to get him back inside..

Dear Hoodini, Please come back inside!

To Phred in heaven and Catmandu's Cat Angels, could you please show Hoodini the way back indoors?

Thank you,
elyse

Hoodini. Sweet boy. Just come inside already, okay?
