Karen Elizabeth I TNR so i have a bunch of traps, though all I have been catching is raccoons and opossum. I also have 2 ferals I take care of as part of the McHenry County feral cat caretaker program. Little Sister is a former feral, but in Oregon not here in Illinois. I'm not sure she recognizes the motorhome as her house. Ive kept the door open all night with the rest of my cats locked in the back half of the house. Will try again tonight

Uppity Womyn, once I knew where she was hiding, I put a live trap in front the opening under the shed and used can tuna (packed in oil) for bait. Harbor Freight has traps for a good price: https://www.harborfreight.com/32-in-x-15-in-x-10-in-medium-animal-trap-63008.html?fbclid=IwZnRzaAQqRu1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeWdTJSKXGkRsFrOrWM079w0F3ztSzC0vnI4hfACaC_Hh2rKaqU-UrOIGT0oo_aem_3VZ-C17KtNAjSPCGTJQnRA

Karen Elizabeth thank you, how did you get her out? I live in a motorhome and am not able to crawl under to get her if she is there.

Uppity Womyn, you’re doing everything right. Little Sister is hiding closer than you think! Make sure to keep looking in YOUR YARD at night with a flashlight. She is very scared and hiding very close… most likely in YOUR OWN YARD. Little Sister will stay hiding and not want to be seen by anyone or anything. Look up in the trees and UNDER EVERYTHING and inside any small openings. You'd be surprised at what tiny openings they can squeeze into and under. Before I knew about all these tips I posted above… my cat was missing for 2 weeks until I finally found her. She was too scared to respond to my calls and I realized she was not coming back on her own, so I knew I had to go out and physically look for her. I wasted most of those days looking around my neighborhood instead of MY OWN YARD!!! The way I found her was with a flashlight at night. She had been hiding under my shed the entire time. I looked under that shed TWICE during the daytime and could not see her. The third time I looked was at night with a flashlight and there were her eyes glowing back at me! Little Sister is really scared and has found a good hiding spot very close to where she escaped. She is so close… she’s probably watching you, but is too scared to come out or respond to your calls.
