Hallelujah


Well, the wishes of good luck and purrs worked! The lady and man drop trapped "Gretchen" formerly known as "Necklace" yesterday afternoon!! It was day 6 and they were getting highly frustrated. Nothing was working. Not KFC, tuna, jack mackerel, sardines, anchovies, herring, cat nip, fancy feast appetizers etc.... Ya know what did work? FRIED BLUE FISH!!! The man fried him up some blue fish the night before and saved her two fillets. She couldn't resist!

This morning she goes to the vet for her rabies re-vaccination and exam. She will then be transferred from the trap into her relocation enclosure!
