The other topic is closed but I just wanted to say I hope you get your cat back Vadar before a cruel person or predatory animal gets your cat and the pregnant stray as well. My cat fergus is very, very timid (just his personality) but I can still manage to pick him up if absolutely necessary (he's indoors). I think you have to risk scaring you cat to bring it inside where it belongs and where it's safe. I would rather have a scared cat then a deceased one and I'm sure you would too. Sometimes getting scratched or bit is just part of the territory when you're dealing with a timid cat but you'll find that the cuts and bruises you may aquire are worth it since you know your cat will be safe from any harm. I would catch your cat by any means possible while you still have the chance. Surely, your parents could go out of their way a bit for you to get a trap? Anyway, I'll zip my lips! Good luck!
