Create scent trails on grass and ground to home or to a trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when the cat’s in the trap (or release a possum or other animal that enters the trap).
Get a towel and rub it with your dirty, or anything else with your scent. (Do not use kitty litter.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag the towel from the areas where you think the cat might be and create scent trails on the ground leading to your house or the trap. You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will.
The smell of rotisserie chicken and KFC (breading removed, no bones) seems to travel far. If you use a trap, you may get some possums that you’ll have to release.
Rain will wash away the scent you dragged, so you’ll have to do it again after the rain. Also, it doesn’t hurt to renew the scent if it doesn’t work on the first day.
