Gary has another neutering appointment...He didn't come home.

Gary has an appointment with the local TNR type program to be vaccinated and neutered this weekend. Here I go with having to try and trap him again. He has to be in a trap, no carriers or cages. I have the trap and I'm going to have to work all week to try to get him in there. I have to leave my house at 6:45 Sunday morning to take him, so it looks like Saturday will be the big day. He is back to rubbing all over my legs when I go out to feed him, but I can't pick him up and if I make any sudden movements or anything out of the ordinary he and Juliet and Jose all run. I may be able to lure Jose and Juliet inside, and then just leave the trap out there for him to be caught in. Other than that this is going to be hard! Here's hoping for the best.

I hope you get him. Last night I spotted a new one eatting food from my bowls. Fluffly black tail and skinny too boy scared the crap out of me but at least there is food for him for now.

Best wishes that you catch him.

I hope you can catch him Moe! Will you be putting Gary's food near the opening of the enclosure and then further in each night for a few nights so he gets used to it? I can't remember if you did this last time. I hope it works. Maybe bringing the other two in on the night you set the trap as you suggested might be a good idea to ensure that he is the one that gets trapped.
Please keep us updated.

Hope everything goes smoothly.

I made that post just minutes before I was leaving the house and later I thought about how that might sound to skin Gary. Sorry! LOL

I know I won't be able to keep the other two inside for very long, but I will definitely try everything I can think of and will reread the suggestions from last time also. The problem with trying to put his food close to the trap is that Gary is such a food monster that he runs everyone off from their food bowl. He wants to eat all of them. He makes everyone play musical bowls until he finds the one he likes best. The only way I can really think of is to get Juliet and Jose inside and let him wander into the trap. Getting them inside is going to be the hard part. They have to come in on their own. Maybe I can lure them in with smelly canned food or something. It's going to be fun. I will keep you posted for sure!
