Put food (a favorite treat) near an open door or window where he can get in.
And leave a light on near the food. He is very frightened and probably
under a building or porch. He is very near by but needs encouragement to
come out. Is there any opening at all under the porch he could squeeze
Thanks Marylyn,
I just called my sister and read your post to her. They did have food
in a trap, but they have an ant problem and it was covered in nothing
flat. Justin, that's my nephew, is going to put some food out in a
swallow pan of water to discourage the ants. They don't have a

some very dense bushes lining the driveway, and my nephew has a couple

You're right, I'd want someone to call me too. I wouldn't be able to
sleep anyway. What am I talking about? Obviously I can't sleep over
this! One of the trucks doesn't run and the other one is rarely used,
so at least there isn't that worry. I reminded Connie about the time I

the only other things that i have learned, painfully, are to NOT underestimate the sound/power of a bowl full of kibble being shaken--that has brought more scared housecats out from their hiding places than anything else i know of. a couple of times, i forgot

I am praying for the little one. Often kitties may be hiding only a

Bonnie,
The lights are a good idea! I'll call her right now and suggest it. I
think a strange dog would scare Tux as much as it would the coyotes. If
she hadn't lost her beloved Sporty, she could have put her outside. I
won't mention that to her though. Thank you for the prayers. My
