Hey Jeni,
I trapped a Feral cat last year and we changed him to a different condo
and didn't realise he could get in the wall. I couldn't get him out
either. I put really smelly food where he could get to it and where I
could grab him and after a few times I got him out and fixed the whole.
Where gloves if you are not sure how the cat will react. Good luck, Janine

sorry, I just need to vent about the frustration I am going through
right now with the feral feluk living in my house...I know I don't
have as big as problems as everyone else, but I know some of you can
sympathize with me...so the story is after our beloved papoose died of
feluk, I was approached at work by the head of the HR department at my
shelter and she asked me if I could take in a feluk she trapped and
spayed and was going to release until they found out she was feluk. I
said yes, because our feluk Hillman Waller was lonely after papoose
passed on and well I was lonely too with only one cat and the three
dogs in the house and I wanted to help other feluks. My husband was
not too happy at all, didnt really like the idea another cat, he didnt
even want papoose (but fell head over heels in love with him). So i
took home this very feral black female about 5 years old feluk
postive. We have had her for about 3 months and I have not gotten to
touch her once, I am okay with that, but it hurts not to be able to
pet her and show her I like her. She first lived in a play cage but
was more freaked out about being in it and attacked me anytime I went
to change the litter or feed her, I let her loose in the house. She
had hiding spaces and that was fine, I checked up on her and made sure
she ate, but now she has gotten into the wall of the duplex we live
in. The basement was refinished into a living space that we have and
they put up new walls but there is a space between the new walls and
the old and she got into the there by an opening that popped open
without my knowlegde and now we cant get her out! I am so frustrated
and upset that she is in the wall and that she isnt going to come out
for me. most likely we will have to trap her but i just think she so
unhappy it seams and I feel bad for her. she is so freaked out by our
dogs and our other cat tries to get close to her but she doesnt really
like him. he's lonely and she must be lonely, and i fell awful about
her and now she is the wall and i wrote a really long story. i know i
shouldnt complain i know people out here on the list have it a lot
worst then me, I am just upset and worried because who knows what is
in those walls and god forbid she eats something back there she
shouldnt and chews on something back there she shouldn't and well
rats, i hope i dont have rats, i live in a city...sorry for venting
and thank you for listening...everyone is so good to each other on
this list, it's nice to have
jeni
