I just spent an hour outside in the cold trying to rescue a kitten.

How do I make a damned kitten get into a damned box so I can take her to the damned shelter?

 

[FallenHero]

pick it up?

Fresh tuna

Sure, if I meet a kitten at a bar I'll buy her a drink and talk about her zodiac sign.

Fresh tuna

I was throwing cat treats on the ground and I got within 3 feet of her, but then she'd run away.

 

[Dirigible]

Idiot. God was trying to kill that kitten because of..... something I may or may not have just done. Don't oppose God's will!

So the kitten is now done playing with you and is back with its mommy?

If everything fails above then call the pet squad.

vacuum cleaner.


(shop vac with the 3" hose)

I hate cats, but it's pretty hard to hate a kitten. Call a rescue shelter. I imagine they will have more practice at this.

You now have bubonic plague

 

[PottedMeat]

[gothamhunter]

A string to entice it to play

Live trap or continue scaring the shit out of it.

I rescued a rabbit once. Saw it in the middle of traffic about to get hit. It was a beautiful animal, obviously domesticated and very friendly, loving. It had clean little paws and couldn't have run far from home.

I spent two hours walking the neighborhood trying to find it's home. Posted found rabbit fliers with my daughter the next day. Called the local no-kill shelter, which doesn't take rabbits, and posted a found rabbit on their website.

I kept that little critter for a month, trying to teach it to not shit all over my house, hoping someone would claim it. I finally found it a good home, from which it ran away shortly thereafter.

I think it just wanted to be free.

A fat, juicy, medium-rare steak usually does the trick.

I had a laser pointer, but this is a wild cat so they aren't having that.

Live trap or continue scaring the shit out of it.

That crossed my mind, but I don't have anything big enough.

I gained the cats' trust a little. Maybe if I keep going out there they'll let me waltz up and take them away.

I grab a fishing net out of the boat. Usually, we catch them when they're on our porch. I hide at one end, and my wife will go toward the kittens. They run like hell across the porch & jump through the railing at the end, only to find out I'm pretty quick with the net. Amusing to watch them fight to get out, since their paws go right through the net, but their bodies don't fit through. Also, little kittens that don't want to be caught tend to bite.

I don't know how to trap a cat, but if you set a trap with a pussy in it I would get caught.

That's the cutest documentary ever.

 

[ElFenix]

so OP hasn't gotten the pussy yet?

It's very doubtful he will, a cat is somewhat like a bird if you put salt on a birds tail you can catch it, If you put the pussy on your face

You know the box propped on a stick that has a string tied to it really works. I used that and a bowl of condensed milk to catch a whole litter of kittens once.
