It runs through my front garden, through the vets front garden and down an alley next to an empty property.

I would place the trap with food in near the empty property if this is her normal route.  Just leave the trap in place with food and keep checking.  If she does go inside, cover the trap over completely with a blanket, this will minimise stress.  Good luck hun, xxx

I'm terrified of it running in the road  :scared:

It has one blue eye and one brown  :Luv:

I will try Dawn but I'm scared of her bolting into the road. Luckily there is a vet next door so if I can catch her, it won't take a minute to check. Good idea re trap - I will ask Sharon on Saturday if she has one I can borrow.

Thanks  ;D

Hi Mark, it may be worth seeing if you can loan a trap from somewhere and seeing if you can catch her.  At least then, you can get her to the vets to see if she is microchipped.  If there is no microchip, it may be worth putting a paper collar on her and asking the owner to contact you. They may not be aware that she is venturing on the High Street or she may even be lost.  Good luck, I hope you find her owner and she keeps safe, xxx

A few weeks ago, I posted about a dismembered pigeon in my alley. For the last couple of weeks, when I go out the front, there is a lovely cat outside my alley gate. She is wearing a collar and doesn't look starved although the colar is tatty. I guess it must have been her that ate the pigeon. Anyway, when I go out, the cat runs away (I live on a busy high street). It runs through my front garden, through the vets front garden and down an alley next to an empty property. There is a room at the back of the alley with a door but as its derelict, there are ways to get out the back. I went to close the door after the cat to stop it coming through again but it ran out the door and further up the road. I don't know what to do as I can see an RTA waiting to happen - If I corner it, it could run into the road. No doubt it belongs to someone that lets their cat roam so I just don't know what to do.
