Well he saw me this a.m. bringing his breakfast, or should I say I saw him. He was quite a distance away from me but his black and white fur makes him relatively easy to spot. I stood still and he stood still, the longer I stood it seemed the further (albeit slowly) he moved away. I eventually gave up and retreated to the house. He soon came down to dine. He is a smart guy though, as he broke the cardboard base free (the one I had lined the bottom of the first trap with, and tacked it down) and pulled his food from the trap. He just figures any way not to go in.
I cooked up a storm today of meats from our freezer. I will begin offering some of these delicacies with his meal as teasers, and then one day hopefully entice him inside the larger trap when it is set. I fear I will have to get him on the first try, that's why I'm being exceptionally cautious, as I am concerned he will be so spooked after a missed attempt I may lose him. But maybe not...this guy is just so fearful.
I caught a glimpse of him running scared in our back yard a little later. He kept turning around and startling, but again I didn't see anything. He definitely looks much thinner and seems so much more nervous if that is even possible. I just wish I could get a message out to any one who encounters him to please NOT chase him or even talk to him, it only instills more fear.
Well...we can only hope and pray for a happy ending one day soon-real soon!
