My feral boy, Tommy, is very street smart and stealth. Right now I have the food out next to the unset, open trap, and in the area where he ate all winter where the shelters are, but he refuses to go anywhere near it. I wondered if there are other cat smells on the trap - since it's a loaner from the humane society - or if he's simply not hungry or something else. Someone suggested placing the trap inside a large dog food bag, and it will take me a bit to find one of those. In the meantime, I was hoping he'd get used to eating by the trap so I could gradually move the food into it. Should I put the trap into the garage and see if he will eat there without a trap at all?
Lucy went into the trap the second time the food was in it (the first time it was set) but I don't think she is a true feral and she was pregnant to boot, so I'm guessing she was very hungry. But Tommy is not going to be nearly so cooperative, I fear!
And . . . still no sign of Lucy and it's been 2 weeks tomorrow. I just want to know that she's okay!
