How To Lure Feral Cat

[Ram Keswani]

I have a cat in my garden. I tried cucumber but she just walked away. What should I give her so that she eats it and I can tame it? I HAVE NO MEAT, NO EGGS.
Please help.

You need eggs, meat, or fish. Cats are carnivores.

Its sitting below a car. Its not hissing, or growling. It is polite but what should I give her to eat?

Cats don't like cucumbers! My cats don't like eggs or cheese much either. You have to use meat or cat food. Did you order any cat food yet?

 

[talkingpeanut]

You need to make sure you can get or already have an appropriate diet before you take any cat in.

The others are right - she needs meat or eggs. She can get nutrition from goats milk, too - do not use cow milk because of the high lactose content. To lure a cat, or as a rare treat, you can water down cream as the cream does not have lactose. I hope that you get to bring the cat off the streets and into your life

How did it go, did you see the cat again? Is it a cat or a kitten?

I had ordered cat food, went to the shelter next day but it is closed now. So i canceled the order.
There is just one shelter in my city which is being builed and there are only dogs currently.
I will buy some wet food cans, look for ferals and try to adopt one.

Good luck, maybe you can tame the one in your garden.

It's a good idea to keep some cans of cat food at home. It will last in the can for years and you never know when the next hungry stray will turn up.

regular milk may not be the best for cats, but it is a great way to get them to come. they just love it.
i use it as a training aid.
it has not hurt my feral cat at all.

I have been trying to lure a feral with food but I haven't seen them from some days.
In the night, its dark and its hard to look for them. I saw once at 6 a.m. and one at 3 p.m. some days before.
Do feral cats have a schedule? When do the sleep? When is the best time to search for them?

 

[Norachan]

Cats are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dusk and dawn. I've found dusk to be the best time to look for them.

I have been hearing cats shout very loudly. When I go to my balcony to see what happened, I see a cat going away from another one. Why do they shout?
There are mostly tabby(grey) feral cats in India, but there is a new white cat with brown spots. Where did it come from? thank you
