Thanks for the tip, Tamara. Actually, I was thinking of a dog trap
that I have, as
you said (and you are right), she is more cautious now – Right now, there is a normal cat trap with
the food but not set (left open with the bungee code) so that she can get used
to eat in there – but there are other cats who eat there, I am thinking
of using a dog trap which is much bigger, and I need to manually manipulate the
swing door of the trap using a long long rope so that I can close it from a
distance when I see her go and eat – After she ate last night (and I am hoping
that it is her, since there is another cat look like her that eats there) –
she saw me and we had an eye contact for about 15 seconds or so –
everything stopped for the moment as if she was saying to me, are you here to
save my life??? – something about the way she
looked at me, I felt that (silly, huh?) – she did not run right away, but
continued to look at me – maybe she remembered me as I took care of her
and her siblings when the owner was out of town for a while – She used to sleep under the bed in my
friend’s house, now she doesn’t even know where she is supposed to
sleep and it breaks my heart to think about it – please continue to pray
that I will be re-united with her very very soon, you guys! Thank you very much, Hideyo -----Original

Hideyo...I'll keep you both in my prayers! (Tip: Squeekie might be
extremely cautious of closed in spaces and be very hard to trap now. Try,
if you can, a small dog crate...pref. black bars...put grass or leaves or
debris of some such in the bottom so it smells the same as the area on which it
sits....feed her in there for several days without trying to catch her...once
she becomes comfortable eating in there...swing the door closed and off you can
go! You can find these crate at PetSmart for $45 or at the local humane
society...they are often left behind with dogs are turned over...Good
luck! Keep us informed!) I said it before and I'll
say it again, Hideyo: you're an angel. you really are. You're those kitties'
guardian angel. Sending positive vibes that you find Squeekie, and you find her
soon~~Kerry -----Original
Message----- I have to definitely
agree with Nina. We, humans are the most
powerful creature on earth, and can be the most egotistical and arrogant one,
too by abusing the power we have over smaller (physically) creatures. In my mind, our lives are not any more
important than any other creatures on earth. We have no right to end any
creature’s life before their time come – we are supposed to protect
lives of creatures who need us – but not to kill it. I have a neighbor who
eventually became a friend overtime as we happened to have the same interest
– which is to rescue feral cats.
She moved from one side of town to the other about 9 months ago and I
eventually helped her move all of her feral cats she used to feed at her old
house to her new home. Before I agreed to help her, I did warn her that she was
about to change their lives, and they may not be necessary asking for the
change or may not wanting the change (regardless of her good intensions), but
as long as she does so (regardless that’s what they want or not), I would
like her to make sure that she has a responsibility to take care of their lives
for the rest of their lives. And
she said, yes, and so, I helped her move all the cats and helped them get
socialized – She did not do everything
as I had asked her to do, and she lost one of 10 cats in two days – I had
asked her to keep these cats in a cage for at least week so that they can feel
safe in their sanctuary and can get used to smell of the new house and feel
secure again. But she got stressed
out by one of the cats who was making a noise and she opened the cage and let
the cat go outside – of course, the cat (Snoodle) had no idea where she
was and never came back or seen.
I put the flyers all over the neighborhood and tried to find her (the
owner was not willing to spend the time on doing so), but never did. At this I
regretted that I helped her out for the first time. Fortunately the rest of
the cats got adjusted ok to new life – but I just found out that she took
one of the cats, Squeekie (who was a sibling cat of the cat who ran away) back
to where she was 9 month ago – she got tired of her peeing in the house
(which was because she never trained her to use the litter box as I asked her
to) – and she forced to the corner in the bathroom and grabbed her (as
she is still a feral cats), forced her to the carrier and dumped where she was
9 month ago, which she no longer recognize or remember – as the owner had
closed down the crawl space that she used to live in 9 month ago any more. I got so upset –
this is considered to a suicide warrant in the rescue business – the
environment is not a same for her anymore, there are new cats she never met,
and new people, and she is so scared – so right now I am in the process
of trying to find her and trap her back so that I can give her a home again. I guess, what I am trying
to say is that we do things for our very convenience and change their lives
whenever we want and however we want – regardless of their wish –
the neighbor has seen her, and I staked out by the old house for a couple of
house last night, I think I so her – but she looked very scared. Please please pray for me
and sqeekie that I can find her and can trap her again – I need all of your good
energy and prayers! Thank you! Hideyo -----Original
Message----- Tonya, Unless you can find a
VERY safe place for the ferals and be sure there's someone to take care of
them, I tend to agree with PETA. Even if the ferals have someone
'watching out' for them, I'm sure many of them are killed by dogs, hit by cars,
shot, etc.... I think it's a very rough life for most ferals and in many cases it
would have been better to put them to sleep. I see their point of view. t
