My Cat Got Out:(

Vader, I am sorry to hear about your cat getting out! I hope you can catch him soon!!! keep us posted!

Vader, I know how much Majesty means to you, and that cannot be translated into money. Nevertheless, anyone who recognizes a Bengal cat, knowing that they sell for approximately $800, can trap and sell her. I know how upset you would be. Your love for her makes renting a trap worthwhile; otherwise you would always worry that you hadn't done enough. Also, you were concerned about rescuing the stray. It would be well worth it to you, I know. Please keep us informed; as you can tell by the number of replies, we care!

The only problem with renting a trap is I have no way to get to the Humane Society to get one because I don't have a drivers license. I am going to have to wait until I can get a ride to the Humane Society. I can't take a bus either cause i am not exactly sure where The Humane Sociey is. I'll keep you posted!

Vader,
Can the humane society come out for you and drop the trap off? Or maybe have a friend drive you?

Maybe...the closest Humane Society is in another city. It's in New West Minister and I am in Surrey. I'll have to check the Humane Society Website to see if they'll bring the trap here. Maybe someone can drive me to get the trap. I'll let you know what happens

Have you tried calling the humane society for some more information? Someone there might be able to tell you if you can get there by public transportation.

Or, even if they do not usually drop off traps, they might be able to find someone to drop one off to you once they hear your situation.

Can't your parents take you?

My parents cannot drive me. My dad has to work in the morning and doesn't get home until atleast 5:30 PM and he takes the car. I don't think we'll need to rent a trap. Majesty is begining to trust us more. She now let's you hand feed her. I think she is going to come in on her own. I don't know if it's a good idea to rent a trap anyway. She is terrified of small places, and she has bit me before. Not hard though.

When my cat Peppurr was under the house we trapped him in our cat carrier once we caught him. He was so scared when we let him out he bit my sister right in the hand, to her bone. I don't want Majesty to bite anyone.

I'd be tempted to put on gloves and just grab her when she comes up to you for food. She's your pet and she was tame, wasn't she? I don't know why she would bite you. But, I guess you have to do what you think is right. I hope you get her back.

I am tempted to grab her when she comes! But, I don't want to scare her. She never really interacted with humans much in her old home. She was always out side. I'm not worried about her going on the road. She used to live by lots of traffic and never went on the road.

I think in time she'll trust us enough to let us handle her and we can bring her in. She's spayed, so i'm not worried about her getting pregnant. There's now 4 strays living in our yard! A black and white one, a grey and white one, a long haired calico and an ocicat. She's living with all of them.

I hate to tell you this, but I think she is probably an unsocialized bengal...... She shouldn't be biting you. Bengals aren't supposed to be like that at all. Perhaps that is why she was free, and why she is hanging with the strays.

I think you're probably right. I'm also begining to think she's not even a bengal. She looks more like a Savannah. I don't think that bengals ears are supposed to be as big as hers and I was looking at pictures of Savannah's and she looks more like a Marbled Savannah then a Bengal.

Savannahs get much bigger than bengals. Just because she has bigger ears doesn't really mean that. She looks like a bengal. Who was the breeder of her?

Hope you are able to get her back, Vader.

I don't know. He didn't really give us much information. He has a registered cattery up in Manitoba I think. She just does not look like any bengal I have ever seen. But then again, no two cats look alike. She just came up to eat a few minutes ago then ran. She is staying in some crates outside my house.

VADER - ANY WORD????

Majesty is begining to trust me a little. She'll come up to me, but she runs right when she sees hands. Is it possible she was hit and that is why she is so scared of hands??

That could be. Leave an old sweatshirt out like Hissy suggests with your scent on it - that may help.

I'm gonna try the sweatshirt thing. Thanks!

It could be that she just doesn't trust you. What was she like when you got her?

She was very friendly. She ran, but she would come up for treats or pets sometimes.
