hopes and prayers are with you guys! Just make sure you are offering no food or water what so ever except inside the trap so she'll have no choice but to go in there if she gets hungry or thirsty. eventually she'll get desperate.

Yeah, we're baiting the trap with her favorite kind of cat food, even using the dish she normally ate from. Have the trap set inside the abandon barn that is pretty open. Caught a coon last night-

What did you catch last night?

A possum. That makes a skunk, coon, possum and one of my cats--just about everything that's out there except Midnite. Maybe tonight. I am putting out more traps today. The biggest problem is there are so many places where she can hide.
Thanks for your support.

All traps empty today. I may have to move them as we aren't really sure where she's holding up. DW sat out there calling her where she last saw her. Nothing. One problem is that the gal that owns the property where we think she is hiding goes to work at 4 am, comes home in the afternoon and goes to bed so doesn't have the opportunity to see her.

Maybe your cat doesn't want to be caught and would be much happier living outdoors?

Do you have a warm cozy place on your property for her to hang out?

Not really anyplace she can get in aside from under the chicken coop but we're both convinced that one of the things keeping her away may be our other indoor/outdoor cats may be chasing her off the property. While I have no objections to her staying outside my DW wants her back and she is her cat. Also I really think allowing cats out 24/7 with no food and place to get in is cruel. I don't want to contribute to the feral cat population if I can help it.​
