Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
Give Woodoo some time to get over being scared. Hunger and need for your companship may bring him home to you. I once had a cat that stayed away for 6 days.

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
Ask the base police if you can borrow one trap for your cat and learn how to use it. This is a better option then the base police trying to trap cats for two reasons (1) they don't know your cat like you do so you can set up the trap with food you cat likes and smells of home (perhaps paper towel with your scent on it) and it can be near your door - this will result in better success of trapping your cat (2) this avoids the base police setting out traps for other cats.

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
Next time he comes around - and he probably will if he can find his way - don't scare/chase him. Take his toy, the food he likes (he will be hungry) and SIT down somewhere where he can see and hear you. Talk to him, put the food out, rattle the toy, just talk like you did when he was home and let him come to you. If he doesn't come around, go where you think he may be hiding and do the same. DON'T go after him. He is freaked out and needs things to look, smell and sound as normal as possible to lure him back. Good luck.

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
If possible keep a bowl of his favorite food on your steps/porch so even if he stays out a little while he will get food. Also when you put the food out make a big production of it by either banging the can a few times with the spoon or rattling the bag so he knows it's there. Keep the house quiet as possible and at night keep as many lights off as possible. Given how spooked he is you may need to catch him in a trap to get him back inside - keep food outside in the same place for him as this will be he location of the trap if needed. If you do see him outside just you go out and sit quietly to see if he comes up to you. If he does approach you just take a minute or two to pet him just as if you were inside and when you can do it easily (almost naturally as if you were inside) pick him up (hold him tight as even though this it is you just picking him up may scare him) and bring him inside.

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
Melinda, My heart is breaking for you!! What comes to my mind first is for you to leave wet food out and maybe that will coax him back to your door. Or maybe you can get a trap somehow and put wet food in it to capture him. Can you post a lost sign with his photo on it to inform the residents on the base? Then you can receive a phone call when he is spotted. I'm sure you will get him back, he's got to come around! You should be the only one that looks for him and calls his name. Too many people at once will probably scare him more. These are just ideas off the top of my head. I feel for you, I really do!! Keep the faith!

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
I would do all of those thing, AND perhaps get an automatic trap with food inside. If Voodoo comes to you, please scruff (just in case) and pick up at the same time, because of being afraid. If you can lock away other cats, I would definitely leave a door open. The problem might be, though, that Voodoo might run out again when you come into that area, unless there's a safe hiding place normally used by Voodoo. The same thing happened to us when we lived in England, a guest kept the door open too long and our cat Lucifer ran out. Can you imagine this crazy American going around the neighborhood, calling Lucifer in the middle of the night? I decided to call Lucy instead...after some deliberation. We left the door open, I sat in a chair in the hallway, and he came back at about 4 AM. I bet he was under the hedges that surrounded the house all the time. If there are any bushes around where you live, that might be the best bet to look under. Good luck! I'll be thinking of Voodoo and sending a message to go home!

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
Put a trap out, line it with newspaper and cover with a blanket or sheet. Put some food right outside the trap, leading up to it and in the back. Also put some of your dirty clothes around it as well as some of his dirty litter. If you have another cat that he is bonded with, put it in a carrier and place it outside so that VooDoo can hear him/her crying. Often that will bring them out.

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
Look under bushes, decks, outside buildings or any other place he could hide. He hasn't gone far. Susan Saunders From: Natalie at...@optonline.net To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Fri, June 24, 2011 9:14:07 AM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing I would do all of those thing, AND perhaps get an automatic trap with food inside. If Voodoo comes to you, please scruff (just in case) and pick up at the same time, because of being afraid. If you can lock away other cats, I would definitely leave a door open. The problem might be, though, that Voodoo might run out again when you come into that area, unless there's a safe hiding place normally used by Voodoo. The same thing happened to us when we lived in England, a guest kept the door open too long and our cat Lucifer ran out. Can you imagine this crazy American going around the neighborhood, calling Lucifer in the middle of the night? I decided to call Lucy instead...after some deliberation. We left the door open, I sat in a chair in the hallway, and he came back at about 4 AM. I bet he was under the hedges that surrounded the house all the time. If there are any bushes around where you live, that might be the best bet to look under. Good luck! I'll be thinking of Voodoo and sending a message to go home!

Also when you put the food out make a big production of it by either banging the can a few times with the spoon or rattling the bag so he knows it's there. Keep the house quiet as possible and at night keep as many lights off as possible. Given how spooked he is you may need to catch him in a trap to get him back inside - keep food outside in the same place for him as this will be he location of the trap if needed. If you do see him outside just you go out and sit quietly to see if he comes up to you. If he does approach you just take a minute or two to pet him just as if you were inside and when you can do it easily (almost naturally as if you were inside) pick him up (hold him tight as even though this it is you just picking him up may scare him) and bring him inside. Not sure if you have other cats or if it is possible but if you can leave a door open by the food you put out so he has a chance to just slither back into the house on this own. Many positive thoughts are being sent your way.

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
Well, around midnight I heard my other cat meow and looked outside. There was a big yellow cat that I have seen hanging around a black cat. And, low and behold there was the black cat too! However, if it was my VooDoo, he didn't touch the food I left around front. Tonight I will try leaving the food in a more obvious place. At least if it is him, he won't be hungry! As for trapping, I am a bit at a disadvantage. We have a Japanese hardware store in town, but I don't know if they have traps. Since I don't speak or read Japanese, it may be difficult to find. Our base police often put out traps to catch the strays. The problem is if I ask them to help, I might be committing another kitty to a death sentence. On base they put them to sleep after 72 hours. We don't have any kind of local rescue at this time. I got some information from another base and want to see if I can start some kind of foster/rescue program. There are strays here and there around the base. Also, (I know you will all gasp) people move back to the states and actually leave their babies! So, at this point, I hate to ask for traps to be put out. Although, after another day or two his wellbeing will be my first priority. Thanks again for all of your suggestions!

Melinda I will be praying for VooDoo's return. My ittle Bitty is at the Vet now because I found him unable to move and crying. He may not make it through the night. Possble stroke, nuerological issue they did lots of tests. He is not in pain but his mind is not here either. Please pray for my lover boy he is 12.

My son's friend left a door open last night and my little VooDoo escaped. He is terrified of being outdoors and all attempts to capture him only scared him more! We live on a military base and there are no wild animals to worry about and the speed limit on base is extremely slow. My greatest concern is that around 2:00am, he tried to come home and we absolutely scared him to death trying to get him to bring him inside. (He hasn't been out since he came to us as a five week old kitten) I'm worried that he might be afraid to come home. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
