Hi there. I'm trying to catch a feral at my dad's house. My dad recently passed away and had 3 ferals, 2 of which have disappeared. 1 has stayed behind and from what I can tell, relies on the food I have been putting down for him.
He's afraid of people, but knows us so comes quite close. I have been trying for almost 15 days to catch him with a trapping cage. He doesn't like soft food or tuna etc, and insists on only eating his dry food. As a last attempt, I haven't been feeding them for almost two days and kitty's really hungry (and my heart is breaking)!
He approaches the cage but turns around when he's eaten all of the food at the entrance...doesn't even bother sticking his head in, in spite of the treasure waiting at the back. Any other suggestions as to how I can catch him? Like I say, I think he's dependent on the food and don't want to give up on him. Thank you.
