Please help me in my attempts to lure our cat! Our cat has been missing for two weeks and we saw her today few neighborhoods down.
As mentioned in one of my previous questions, our cat went missing two weeks ago. Thanks to some help we received in the recent three days, we have spotted out cat wandering on two specific streets, a few neighbourhoods away from our home. We have set three traps in the area this morning and we are watching them. Today she came right in front of me as I was in my car watching from across the trap. I did not want to get out - according to what a pet catcher told me, she may run to a different area if I call her, as she likely turned feral now and may think I am chasing her.
If I see her in the next few days while I am watching the trap, should I wait until she gets in one of the traps? Or can I call her name hoping she still remembers it and will come to me? I kind of regret not getting out of my car and trying to say her name today, but then I remembered the professional's words. The pet catcher told us we have to observe her roaming patterns at different times of the day and try to trap her based on that, is this accurate?
