It is one thing to trap a cat, transport it in the trap to a safe, sheltered place (in my case a closed garage with a towel, blanket etc over the cage to help calm the cat) and leaving a trapped cage in the open where it can be frightened if not harmed by other critters or by mean spirited peopl

Try Feliway and CatNap (Dr. Maier has some) to calm them. Use the spray, not the plug ins. Feed them in very small amounts numerous times a day and let them see you and associate you with the food. Watch out for those baby teeth. Don't be afraid but know that they know how to protect thems
