Shaara Sharma You should place the trap at the edge of the woods, using your best guess for where she might be. You then create trails from various locations, sine near the water, where she might go to drink, all leading to the trap.

Shaara Sharma You follow the procedure I described for creating scent trails to the trap. Ideally you would set up a trail cam viewing the trap so you will know when she goes in.

Shaara Sharma I would tell the museum what happened and ask them if you can set up a trap near where she went into the woods.

Gary Moss She ran into the woods in behind the garden at the Museum. Any ideas how to lure her out. How do I trap her. I'm not sure how to do any of this considering it's on Museum grounds

Drag scent trails… Go out late at night with a flashlight that might reflect against his eyes, and call him gently. Or shake a bag of treats, sometimes better than your voice to attract a cat that’s scared. Create scent trails on the grass and ground leading up to your home (or to a trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when the cat is in the trap). Get a towel and rub it with your dirty laundry, blankets, socks, or anything else with the scent of home. (Do not use kitty litter.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag it from the areas where you think the cat might be, creating scent trails leading to your house (or the trap). You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will. (If you use a trap, load it with a little cat food, chicken or tuna, enough to attract the cat from the trail that leads up to it. Rely on the scent trails to get your cat to the trap.) Rain and snow will wash away the scent trails, so you’ll have to drag again afterwards. Also, renew the trails every couple days. Try to remain patient and hopeful. Some cats only show up after many days or even weeks. Important: . Never leave a trap unattended, always keep an eye on it, checking it every 1/2 hour in person or with a trail cam. Position the trap close to where the cat escaped or was last seen. . Trail cam photos and videos are marked with time stamps, helpful to know if and when the cat shows up but doesn’t go into the trap. . Post flyers in the area with a picture of your cat and your contact information. . Even if you don’t have a trap or a trail cam, scent trails leading to your home can work.
