Our cat that was a feral found a nice hiding place inside our wall. She was very trap savvy you could say and we couldnt trap her...until I put a piece of cardboard on the bottom of the trap to cover the wire cage. She went in and got trapped and we got her out of the wall. It might help, cause they might not like the feel of the wire bottom on the cage under thier feet. good luck jeni ---------------------------------------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Felvtalk Digest, Vol 36, Issue 11 > To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2008 22:38:00 -0500 > > Send Felvtalk mailing list submissions to > felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > http://mail.felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Felvtalk digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
