It’s been several days and I have not caught anything in the trap, not even a rodent. So I’m going to freshen the food and move it to a different spot. Hopefully I will have better luck.
I did manage to trap a cat, but unfortunately it wasn’t India. It was my aunt’s cat, who is one of India’s sisters. I had been worried that India might be too big for the trap, so knowing that her slightly bigger sister can get into the trap is good to know. I also received a tip that a black cat had been sighted in the 1500 block of 36th Street, which is not far from us. I have moved the trap up there and will be checking it regularly. I hope the black cat is India and that we catch her soon.
It's been a little more than a week since the last post. I am moving the trap to a different location, as I had no luck in the alley. I've also been checking the Humane Society every couple of days, but no India. I really wish I had had her microchipped. I had been under the impression that microchipping was very, very expensive, but as it turns out I could have had it done at the Humane Society for $20. If only I had known (Henna is now microchipped). My posters blew down in the wind. I will put them back up; and refresh my postings on Craigslist, Nextdoor, and Lost Pets of Whatcom County's Facebook Page. I'm really hoping a neighbor found her and is keeping her safe, and then she might eventually get outside again and come home. Yesterday was 4 weeks. Tomorrow will be one month. I have heard stories of cats randomly coming back after as many as three months, and someone at the shelter said a cat once turned up at the shelter af...
India was not there today, but there was a black cat. It was the very same one that my neighbors have seen and thought it might be India. This particular cat has been roaming our neighborhood since the summer, and various neighbors have taken her in during inclement weather. I think I know where she lives, but I am also fairly sure that they don’t really want her back. She didn’t get along well with their other cat and ran off. Her paperwork listed her as possibly feral because when she was brought in she was really freaking out. I told the attendant her story and let them know she is not feral. They were glad for the information. I’m sad for her that she isn’t wanted and that coming to the Humane Society was so stressful for her, but with winter setting in I think this is probably in her best interest. I would have taken her myself but there is Henna to consider. With India missing I don’t think Henna would be very appreciative if we brought another cat into the house. And if India ...
