Last Thursday-
An update...
I finally caught a Possum & another Raccoon in the backyard. Dry cat food & Chicken bones.
That day I noticed Pictures of a missing Cat, on nearby telephone poles.
Same afternoon, I spotted the missing Cat sitting by my woodshop. I called the number, husband & wife came over fast. The Cat was gone. We searched high & low. No Cat.
The folks left.
So I set two live cage traps baited with dry Cat food next to our wood shop.
Shortly after dark, My wife said, 'you have Sonny, the missing Cat!" I said, 'What are you talking about?'
She replied, 'I turned on the back lights and I see he's in one of your traps!'
Another phone call to the Cat's owners. They were over in a flash.
I told the folks I put him in the cage to hold him till they got here.
They Thanked me many times.
Happy ending. Happy day.
Sonny is a 15 year old house Cat. Never escaped before. Never outside.
Escaped Monday morning. Caught Thursday night.
During that time we had 40-50 mph winds, heavy rain and cold weather.
I estimate Sonny traveled 1 mile, as the Crow flies, to our house.
Owner called Sunday afternoon and said he lost some weight, but is fine. And thanked me again.
