Trying to Rescue a Cat!!!

My friend's brother passed away a few days before Christmas. He was in his 50s and had recently been diagnosed with cancer. He had a pet cat that he left in his will for my friend - problem is he has an old house with an attic that allows the cat to get inside the walls and crawl around. "Fat Kitty" as he called her is a one person cat - and since her owner has passed away she isn't letting anyone get to her.

Since the funeral my friend has been leaving food and water and changing the litter box every two-to-three days - but its not easy. Her brother's house is 2 hours away. She's been trying to get the cat every time she goes, but fat kitty isn't having it.

I had today off so I said I would go with her - I got sooo close to catching her too. Fat Kitty was meowing in the attic window behind blinds when I went up there. I had put my hand over the side of the blinds and reached into the other side, but when she went launching out I instinctively stepped back and moved my hands, and she went racing past me into the other room in the attic and disappeared into the walls.

We stayed there for 7 hours...Kitty did not come out again as far as I know (sigh)


My friend has off on Monday and Tuesday so she says she's going to go up and stay the two days if Kitty doesn't go into the trap we got from Animal Control. We really didn't want to use a trap but my friend is running out of options. I'm just worried it's not going to work - I'm pretty sure we did NOT set the trap up correctly, Why didn't that thing come with instructions??

Anyway, pray Kitty makes it too her new home safe, my friend's son is going to take Kitty to live with him and his family. My friend would have taken Kitty but like me, she has a DOG who does not like CAT.

Her son has a dog as well, but its an outside dog - I hate that - Landlord said no to having a dog in the house. They did get an okay for the Kitty-Cat, though.

Anyway, I just got home, and I'm beat.

P.S. my friend and I went to a SONIC for the first time ever - there is no SONIC where we live. It was interesting - probably would be more enjoyable in the Spring or Fall. But I loved the Chili Cheese Fries (YUMMY).
