I think it's a he and I am guessing about 3 months old. Came out of store Friday night and found this cute black kitten playing around a tree. When I approached it scampered away, but not too far and came back. It was winding and rubbing all around everything, it would come close and run away. Very talkative. I fed it, but could not catch it, he kept running off if I moved to him. But when I move away and follows me. Finally I gave him some more food and left. Went back the next day with a trap and more food. The trap was too small. But he comes as soon as he sees me and follows me around. Went back Sunday couldn't find him. Called animal control and they cant do anything unless the store manager calls. Went Monday night with larger trap. He comes right to me, he rolls around on the ground, follows me everywhere but I cant get him. He went into the trap but didn't trip it. He climbed in my car and explored but jumped out when I moved. He lays on the ground about 6 inches from me kneading the ground and looking at me. I know I'm close but its very frustrating I can tell he really wants to but is scared. I am going back tonight with a pet carrier, maybe when he gets in it I can shut the door. He stands up and sniffs my hands, and swats at them, he has put his mouth on my finger when I was just sitting there. He didn't apply pressure but I took my hand away and ended up getting a scrap. Went home and washed it with disinfectant, and you couldn't even see it the next day. Didn't think it was serious enough to go get a shot. I think he may have belonged to someone who threw him away or he stowed away in a car engine. Either way, I hope I can catch him tonight.
