That’s good then, If it were me I would set the trap today as although perhaps not a pleasant experience for a cat, it is a means to a quick end of the problem. (If you get the right cat in first time

). Also the experience of days outside cannot be very nice either.

So do i Rosella, im getting to old to be sitting outside in the night chill,plus im

as she is coming about 11pm at night, never see her in the daytime

Ela i have a trap at the rescue and i think thats what im going to have to resort to,i was hoping not to but i think its going to be the only way as the crafty madam is enjoying the freedom so is not going to come willingly

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #40 on:** May 10, 2009, 09:02:09 AM »

I very much hope you manage to get Muppet in today

Ela · « **Reply #39 on:** May 10, 2009, 09:01:22 AM »

Is it possible to borrow a trap and place it near your door? You may catch one or two hedgehogs first though.

Janeyk · « **Reply #38 on:** May 10, 2009, 06:48:41 AM »

It's not proving easy is it! I'm sure you'll get there though in the end

Bazsmum · « **Reply #37 on:** May 10, 2009, 02:33:45 AM »

Aw how frustrating for you.....maybe start bringing the food closer to your home, then if your sat on the step and the feral's come they will prob go and hide till you go in.....

You can alway's put some out for the strays later on!

bonnielass · « **Reply #36 on:** May 10, 2009, 00:32:33 AM »

No shes not home yet ,i came within a cats whiska of getting her tonight,ive been sat outside for the last 1 -1/2 hrs and she came for some food which i put in the shed,im sat round the corner with some string tied to the handle ready to shut the door once shes inside ,but one of the feral cats came and scared her off,the 2nd time she came from the front gate instaed of the back,, i hid behind a big plantpot with a shrub in it but she spotted me and legged it so ive given up tonight as im

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #35 on:** May 10, 2009, 00:06:52 AM »

At least you know she's around and she obviously knows where to call home! Fingers crossed you can get her inside soon.

Is Muppet home yet?

Millys Mum · « **Reply #33 on:** May 06, 2009, 18:17:45 PM »

Im glad you have had a sighting

Good luck getting her in

Janeyk · « **Reply #32 on:** May 06, 2009, 06:23:53 AM »

Fingers crossed she'll be back today hungry enough to eat those biscuits xx

JackSpratt · « **Reply #30 on:** May 05, 2009, 21:02:21 PM »

C'mon Muppet - get your bottom home!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #29 on:** May 05, 2009, 20:47:06 PM »

Oh wow that's fantastic!

Come home Muppet, your meowmy has been waiting and worrying for so long!

bonnielass · « **Reply #28 on:** May 05, 2009, 20:26:43 PM »

Please keep those vibes coming as they seem to be working,i happened to look out the kitchen window and saw a little white nose poking in the cat flap in the back gate,it was MUPPET

i went out with a box of biscuits but she legged it down the lane and disappeared, little madam

i tried calling but she was no where to been seen, at least i know shes okay, now just got to figure out how to catch her or coax her back in, still no contact from her owner so that poses another dilema, do i let her know if i get Muppet or keep her and find her another home where she will be looked after properly?? after all she does have 10 others and she did tell me she had more trouble with Muppet then all the rest put together

harlequin · « **Reply #27 on:** May 04, 2009, 20:44:21 PM »

Poor Muppet

I hope she comes home soon.

bonnielass · « **Reply #26 on:** May 04, 2009, 20:30:49 PM »

Thanks everyone ,i still need those positive homing vibes as there is still ne news of her

, her owners have still not been in touch so obviously she is not bothered about her, mind you she does have 10 others so i think in this case discretion is the better part of valor and i\f or when she does come back she wont be going back to her, she will stay with me until i find someone who will love and appreciate her for the beautiful cat she is

Janeyk · « **Reply #25 on:** May 04, 2009, 20:19:12 PM »

still keeping everything crossed she is soon home

Judecat (Paula) · « **Reply #24 on:** May 04, 2009, 18:43:08 PM »

Everything crossed that Muppet comes home to you. I would keep her as she gets on with your kitties. Stupid woman doesn't deserve her.

bonnielass · « **Reply #23 on:** May 04, 2009, 11:21:59 AM »

Still no sign of Muppet :(her owners havent even rung me to see if theres any news

im really getting quite worried for her now as she is so timid and its raining and cold ,she must be so scared

Babz · « **Reply #22 on:** May 03, 2009, 15:05:53 PM »

Absolutely not your fault, the stupid owner doesn't seem to care much if firstly she left them for weeks and weeks and then didn't take the trouble to make sure Muppet was safe in her box. I hope she turns up soon, I'd be tempted to keep her too.

The positive side is the warm weather, the safety of the wood as opposed to a busy road and cats ability to hide themselves right under your nose. I know everyone on here knows a lot about cats so you don't need my advice but we always used to recommend putting the cat's litter tray outside the door in the hope they'd follow their own scent home.

Fingers and toes and eyes crossed for her safe return

Hmm, I was thinking something similar as I just read this thread for the first time. I hope Muppet comes home soon. No chance she might be trying to make her way back to her original home is there?

Sending vibes that Muppet will find her way back very soon

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2009, 11:17:08 AM »

i am sure she will be back, it is amazing how they can find their way back, even if they haven't been out before.

Bonkers Mad!!! · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:38:22 AM »

i'm sure she'll be back too

don't blame yourself, it was in no way your fault that she escaped.

blackcat · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2009, 08:31:03 AM »

She'll be back

she just got a fright and was probably disoriented when she came out of the box. This is definitely not your fault - stupid owner should have made sure the cage was properly closed ...

At least you are in contact with her now and can let her know when Muppet comes home. In the warmer weather she may decide it is rather fun to stay outside for a night or two - until she gets hungry ...

bonnielass · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2009, 08:14:10 AM »

Still no sign of Muppet

i went out again at 1am this morning calling her and nothing, at 3am i finally went to bed and went back out at 6.30am calling but again nothing,im going to start going round the houses on the other side of the woods in case she is hiding somewhere there, poor little mite must be so scared,altho i had her for 9 weeks she and Spooks (sister ) never went out so she doesnt know the area at all,im so worried for her

Please keep up the positive vibes for her

Bazsmum · « **Reply #12 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:12:34 AM »

Topping up the positive vibes~~~~~~~~Come home Muppet!

Janeyk · « **Reply #11 on:** May 02, 2009, 22:59:58 PM »

oh dear, you must feel so disappointed right now after caring for them all this time

If they were with you such a length of time I would think Muppet will be back soon xx

pappilon · « **Reply #10 on:** May 02, 2009, 22:51:08 PM »

Sending coming home vibes for Muppet, i think she was scared and will be home soon.

Sending come home vibes for muppet

JackSpratt · « **Reply #7 on:** May 02, 2009, 20:20:51 PM »

Definitely not your fault - the fact of the matter is the lady seemingly tried to put off taking back her older responsibility for as long as she could.

Hope Muppet is back by now.

bonnielass · « **Reply #6 on:** May 02, 2009, 19:33:07 PM »

She can afford it because she has several children who she teaches at home so gets an allowance for that plus benefits, rent paid,council tax etc, i slog my guts out at work and cant get

all, makes you wonder doesnt it

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #5 on:** May 02, 2009, 19:16:15 PM »

Muppet was her owner's responsibility so please do not blame yourself

(and can anyone tell me, incidentally, how someone with 9 cats manages to rent a house?)

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4 on:** May 02, 2009, 18:55:12 PM »

Sending lots of positive vibes for Muppets safe return, she has certainly been with you long enough to know where she lives so feel sure she will stay close by. Its not your fault so dont beat yourself up

bonnielass · « **Reply #3 on:** May 02, 2009, 18:38:48 PM »

After looking after these 2 for almost 9 weeks ive finally managed to contact the lady who owns them ,i got a string of excuses as to why she had been in touch anyway the upshot was she came to fetch them today, thats when disaster struck,she fussed them for a few minutes then put them in their boxes and took them out to the car,unfortunately she hadnt shut one of the doors properly and Muppet promptly escaped and legged into the woods, after trying to find her for 2 hours we had to give up, so now im sitting here waiting for it to get a dusk so i can call her and see if she will come to me,i think i will be in for a sleepless night if she doesnt come back, as i feel responsible, if i hadnt contact her she wouldnt have come for them and they would both be safe PLEASE SEND SOME POSITIVE VIBES FOR HER SAFE RETURN PLEASE
