**This is a repost- one that I have posted below in another message. I need help with trapping...read on if you can help! Thanks!**

Yeah! The kitten is great. She is loving and so calm. We took her to the vet today. She tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia, and she got all of her shots. She does have round worm (?) and we're starting her wormer next week. We gave her a flea bath and she is so clean and flea-free. She is so precious! We've started introducing her to our resident cat, and they are both hissing. I hope it's going to work out!

OK- I need serious trapping advice. I have to trap her mother ASAP. She is pregnant again, and needs to be fixed, etc. I've tried trapping her 4 times, and she sniffs the cage, goes part of the way in, and backs out. I don't know if she is just smart and has the cage figured out, or if I'm doing something wrong. Should I put a really smelly fish food in the cage? If so, what? I've just been using regular canned cat food. What else can I do? She is in a public place, and I can't leave the cage b/c I'm afraid someone will steal her. She lives in rocks and she is hard to get to as it is. I need any and all suggestions to really trap her this time! I don't want her to have her 5th litter of kittens. help!

I'm so glad that the new kitten is doing great and her tests came back negative.

The other post was right. Make a trail of food leading to the back of the trap. Maybe even fix the trap not to close for a couple of feedings so she will feel safe. It takes time but you can do it. donna
