I've posted about this before, but I thought I'd post in this forum because I'm desperate for help.
I have three cats who are at my house, and I go over three times a day. I've had to move in with my mom. This arrangement has been going on for two months now. The cats are inside, and although two have always been a little skittish, they won't come near me for me to get them into crates. They need to go to the vet's and then they'll go to new homes. (well, one is coming here with me)
I've tried getting them used to eating in crates, and I stay behind the crates waiting for them to come, but they won't eat with me sitting there. I've tried playing with them, and they do play, but when I make a move towards them, they run.
No-one from the vet's office is willing to help even though I've offered money for the job. Now I'm considering buying traps, but I wonder if they will get freaked out if one goes in and starts crying? If I do this, I plan on covering the traps.
