Hi, a few years ago we adopted 3 feral kittens, sisters. Two are still semi-feral (they will let us pet them occassionally but never pick them up) and one is still feral (we've only touched her once and that was when my husband caught her when she fell off the window sill). We've never tried to catch them to take them to the vet, although they were all fixed and given shots by the adoption agency before we got them.
At least one of them is now pee-ing on bathroom rugs -- we have no idea which one. In addition we just discovered one of them peed on our futon so we treated it with Nature's Miracle and just a few minutes later, in front us, one of them peed on it again in another place!
So my questions are (1) how to trap them so I could take them individually to the vet to find out if this peeing is a medical issue, (2) should I check with the vet's office first to see if they will even see a semi feral cat and (3) are there other issues I need to consider before trying to trap them for a vet visit? I'm really worried we either won't be able to catch them or won't be able to find a vet to treat them. If this continues my husband will make me put them outside (they've never been outside before and I don't think they could survive) or give them away (I can't imagine anyone will take them under the circumstances).
Thanks...
