Well our friend arrived a little later this a.m. looking more frazzled and thin. Something spooked him as he worked the trail of treats as he turned to look and ran with his tail between his legs. (I didn't see anything, but with this poor guy, who knows). He hasn't returned to finish his treats but the main dish was licked clean.
I wonder where he goes during the day. I would think (hope) that he would stay around where he was getting food, but that doesn't seem to happen. We live in a relatively quiet and safe neighborhood, but then I guess he doesn't know that. Some times I do think he lurks close by as it seems I no sooner leave the "chow" area and he arrives.
I admit I had high hopes of gaining his trust when he stood in front of me a few weeks ago, when I was cutting grass in "his" area. But that seems to be a distant memory as he acts even more scared than ever.
The larger trap is going to be placed in the area, mostly covered and not set, just open. I'll be covering the bottom as well with a blanket. I'll begin feeding him in the area of this trap with the eventual hope of moving the food inside and setting the humane trap. It's going a little slower than I would like but he is just so darn hyper sensitive and aware that the slightest change or noise spooks him away.
Keep your fingers crossed and your prayers going up!
