We have three house cats and a ferrel cat that also lives in our house. The ferrel has been with us for over seven years. She lets us come with a foot or so but will not let us pick her up. She runs away if we come closer but is affectionate with the other cats. It took us several months to trap her to finally her her neutered!
We have to have our house tented for termites and be out of it with our cats for three days. Does anyone have any ideas on the least tramatic and most effective way of definitely catching the ferrel? We plan to put her in a temporary playpen or carrier and have her with us and our other cats in a motor home for the days we have to be out of our home but want to make sure we can get her out the morning they are coming to gas the house.
Is there something OTC we can give her to calm her down? Our vet won't prescribe anything without seeing her, and if we could catch her to take her to the vet this wouldn't be a problem!
We only have a couple of weeks. Any suggestions would be welcome, including the best kind of temporary carrier/cage to use.
Thanks!
