Thank you. Well we sat and waited, and waited, but nothing. I suppose it
would have been unlikely we trapped her on the first try anyway. I got up at
5 this morning and had a wander through the woods but all I saw was a deer
(which was great nonetheless). We are trying the trap again tonight but I
will also try scattering some of her litter in the area close to it too. Not
sure where I read it now (I've been on hundreds of missing pet websites in
the last week or so!) but apparently the smell of her own litter should
over-ride any smells of wildlife to her nose. Worth a try.

Good news soon I hope!
Thank you for all the continuing purrs.
Sharon


I hope you weren't waiting within sight of the trap(s), because I think
that would most likely keep Smudgie AWAY from the trap, unfortunately.

Smudgie is very scared right now, and is trying to avoid people.

So, if she sees, or even hears you, she may stay out of sight, and not
come near the trap, with the food in it that she badly needs

So I would recommend setting the trap(s) in the woods, baited with ham,
tuna or sardines, and going away. Then, check the trap(s) every few
hours.

Good luck, and the purrs continue.
