Ok so this morning I got up and only 2 of my 3 cats came to eat. Searched all over for the other one and finally found him out back hiding in a trash can (it was raining). He apparently wandered out last night while the garage was open. So now I need to know what to do, we can't catch him (there is a boat in my garage and he is hiding under it), if anyone goes near him he hisses, tries to scratch us, etc. It's been years since one of my cats got out so what else should I do for him? Just let him be till he comes out on his own?

Re: Stupid Cat

Which cat? (not important, but I'd like to know).
Let him starve... he'll come out sooner or later!

Do a little dance...

Storm. He always tries to run out when I go out the front, this is the first time he DID run out when someone left out the back. Just didn't know it til this morning. Stupid cat.

Re: Stupid Cat

Well if you have a pet carrier, you can leave it open and put a bowl of cat food in there to try and catch it there without getting scratched up. Just try not to let the cat see you around, so it won't get too suspicious.

I'm so hot, I sometimes spontaneously combust.

Re: Stupid Cat

You could use something like a broom, and nudge him on his furry lil behind until he's within arm's reach, and then .... *pounce!* Tongue

Or dangle a nice, juicy mouse in front of him Wink

Re: Stupid Cat

water bottle works wonders too. Or take a empty coke can toss in some pennys or rocks tape the top and roll it into him. Cats hate that noise and that should get him moving. Also like what dogg said brooms work well too Smile

Re: Stupid Cat

What about shaking the cat food bag? Maybe he'll decide food is better than being a pill under a boat.

Re: Stupid Cat

I tried pretty much all of these ideas to no avail, then last night I guess he decided it's cold in the garage and came upstairs. He's still acting weird (won't go around the other cats) but at least he's eating again. oh and when I picked the babysitter up this morning, he tried to run out again! Stupid cat. Laughing

When will you ever learn? Shame On You

Just listen to me off the get go! All that work for nothing. Wink

Sorry I didn't call last night... Took the cheerleader & a friend up to Zern's (remember Gilbertsville? The farmer's market up by the chucis', where the dog attacked you?)
Anyways, needless to say... We inherited a new critter... Will post pics in new thread soon!

Do a little dance...
