I am shortly off on a stake out to catch the fabled illusive Sox. :shy:
Sox was rehomed by our CP some time back. He's semi feral and has a 'carer' rather than a meowmy. She feeds him and in return she's allowed to tickle his chin for a few seconds - maybe! - once in a while. Sox lives in a perfect spot - a border between some very quiet housing and agricultural land. This last week, though, he has been seen to drag a leg and needs to be inspected by a vet. Muggings volunteered for the job of nabbing him. :rofl: :rofl:
It would be nice to come back to tell you all I've got him nicely in the pen, but I'll probably end up catless and covered in mud and 'agricultural by-products' :sick: :sick:
Wish me luck!

Good Luck ;D
-
Fingers and toes crossed for you ;D
-
Good luck!
Hope kitty is ok!
Sounds like fun Pinkbear! hehe and its important too! so even better :shy:
-
Right, I've now got the trap, so I'm now off to get the Kentucky. ;)
Sox had better be grateful - little darling. :evillaugh:
If I'm not back by 10.30pm, send Vodka to the field opposite Canterbury barracks. ;) :wow:
-
Good luck and mind all those folks in uniform!!!!! :evillaugh:

I'll have to send you mine!

:brick: :brick: :brick:
I was setting the trap. It was poised to go, all I had to do was bait it. I removed the plastic panel from the bait area, and went to the car to get the Kentucky. When i turned around, what did I see? Ruddy Sox sitting smack in the middle of the trap enjoying the view. :P Of course, even if he had of sprung it, the end wasn't there! :tired: He just waltzed out the otherside and off down the street. :P :P
It turns out that Sox has grown quite fond of his carers and will come up to them for a stroke and a tickle. We tried for ages and ages to grab him, but every time we made a movement for the basket, he ran. We tried to scruff him, but the rugger just did a flip roll and broke free. I've left the trap with them and I've come home now to wait for them to call me. It really wasn't worth 4 of us chasing this cat - and he doesn't even know me. :-: If only I'd had a net and some gauntlets. We'd have had him in minutes :(

Pleased to report Sox was was caught, using a variety of methods, this morning. :wow:
I have never known such a devious puss. He can't decide whether he's feral or tame, but stays mostly feral. Trouble is he knows full well what a trap is as last time we caught him, we had it away with his jewels. :evillaugh:
Let's hope his leg is easily fixed.... :scared:
-
Congratulation! :1st place:
Hope you can fix his leg!
Déborah xx
-
Well done, he does sound like a devious little monster :evillaugh: Glad you caught him, and hope his leg can be sorted easily

Update:
Wee Sox has nothing more than a good old fashioned abscess. Which is really, really great news for all concerned. He's been treated and will be realised back tonight - but will the little darling be grateful? Probably not! :rofl:
-
Glad you caught him and it wasn't anythign serious.
-
Well caught ;D
-
Good news is nothing serious :)
