Someone left the door just a tiny bit open and Cricket got out, he's tamed and he's been neutered, so we were hopeful we might get him back by searching and leaving foot out.
Someone was eating the food so we set the trap and instead of Cricket there was a feral silver tom, he had bashed his head against the cage trying to get out.. all his fur was rubbed off and he had a minor graze.. poor thing. Tried to transfer him to a larger cage and he still just kept bashing against the wall so we let him out because he was going to seriously hurt himself like that.
Thought with the bad experience has was gone for good, and hopefully we could try catch Cricket again. Nope, he came back.
He's eating all the food and he was in the trap this morning, his wound was almost healed and he hadn't tried to get out this time, so we let him go because he did start trying to get out/going to hurt himself when we approached him. I think he's here to stay because he's learned we have food.
I'm not sure how to tame this cat if I can't keep him in a cage, I'll keep feeding him, maybe that will get him a bit tame if he learns when he's fed and comes out. And poor Cricket has been missing for over a week now, I sighted him after he had been gone for 3-4 days but I couldn't find him again. I thought I saw a black animal under my vehicle yesterday but I again could not find it. Should I just try to move on or is there still hope that he comes back?
