Arry 18,569 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Don't worry it will come back, they alway come back to my garden. I don't even own one. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,383 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Still looking, been around there since 6am, nobody has seen her. Poor little shit is so nervous, she's probably laid up somewhere, terrified. Anybody know how to trap a cat? Preferably without killing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,957 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Serves you bloody well right for encouraging vermin. Why are you on here when you should be out scouring the area, rattling a tin of Katy Kat about. It ain't going to be on here reading about rabbiting ect. Ps if she asks the whereabouts of Fiddo you'll have to say that you think it's gone on holiday. And if it don't come back that it must have got married somewhere.

It was weird, he was scenting her last night and following a trail and it just stopped. The cat was also meowing and that stopped suddenly as well. My first thought was fox. But there is no kill site (fur or blood etc). Been looking all day since 6am... gonna head off back there with the lamp when it gets dark. Gonna be awesome wandering, illegally around train tracks with a full powered lamp on the go Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,340 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I hope it's got a really gay name, like fluffy or something, that you have to keep shouting while you look for it all joking aside, I hope you find it before little 'un becomes upset Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna be awesome wandering, illegally around train tracks with a full powered lamp on the go Fox’s killing cats is a bit of a myth mate in my own personal experience, have seen a Fox come off worse against a very normal house cat in a fight and have seen lots of town fox’s cross roads to avoid cats, also had one on film in my own back garden that would share a bowl of food with a local street cat it came in every night all winter and if the cat was eating the fox would just sit and watch and vice versa neither of them would eat all the food in one go and some nights they would come in half a dozen times, also have some footage on an SD card somewhere of a very large country fox that lived in a sett with two feral cats, they are to evenly matched for a Fox to engage as an injury normally results in death so why bother, put a box with your daughters jumper and a bowl of food in then check it before first light good luck 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
