There’s a cat that has been loose on my street since May apparently, but only came into my yard Thursday night. I tried to catch it, but it bit me and ran away. Someone has also shaved it for some reason, and I want to catch since it’s getting colder in the evenings. I saw the cat last night too was and was friendly to me, but it had a bit of a cough, so I’m worried. Didn’t see it tonight, and it’s really cold and windy.

A couple of my neighbours have been feeding it, but no real effort in trying to trap it or check to see if it’s microchipped. I want to take it to the vet and see if it has an owner/check for diseases. Apparently the cat likes dry food over wet, so I don’t think leaving cans of wet food will work.

Any advice given from experienced pet owners/ trappers would be helpful.

    Oh, that sounds promising then. The way you worded the post made it sound like he wanted nothing to do with you at all.

    Todd usually sleeps in my bed. 😂 If he’s out there at bedtime, we let him come in for the night, and he heads back out in the morning.
